US Sanctions Restrict American Travel and Tourism in Cuba

US sanctions, enforced by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, ban tourism in Cuba and tightened rules on September 30. For US citizens, travel to Cuba without an OFAC license is illegal, as these rules apply to all US citizens and residents. Cuba also implemented new Migration and Foreigners Laws in July 2024, which take effect in early November.
