"On April 18, 2008 the Spanish newspaper "El Pais" posted this article on their website:
Cuba rebaja las restricciones para viajar, April 18,2008.
The article states that the requirement of an "carta de invitacion" (invitation letter) under which Cubans had to be "invited" by a foreigner or Cuban abroad would be canceled. This means that Cubans would get the right to initiate independent travel: they no longer would depend on the "invitation" of a third person.
The "carta blanca" (the exit and entry visa) that Cubans needed would also be abolished for all but medical doctors, recent university graduates that had no performed their "social service", members of the armed services and employees of the ministry of the interior with access to classified information would still be required to get an exit and re-entry visa.
Children would be allowed to travel with their parents and Cubans could stay up to 2 years abroad without losing their social and citizenship rights (currently 11 months)..
As of today (April 18, 2008) no changes were available on the website of the Cuban ministry of exterior relations (Minrex).

Rules on travel in Cuba
Veldig uformelle rykter, sier at det kanske skjer flere forandringer, som f.eks at man kan være 3 måneder på turistvisum i Cuba , istedenfor dagens 2 måneder.
Som sagt bare rykter, men siden det skjer forandringer, kan alt mulig skje under Raulismen...
VIVA RAUL !!!!!!
