Cuba is called the “Island of Freedom”, but there are few freedoms there, especially among citizens. Nevertheless, the resorts of the state are popular with tourists who want to see Latin America and swim in the Caribbean Sea. However, before the trip, you should find out about several unusual laws in Cuba, for which tourists can go to jail or run into a fine. About them – in the material “DIP”.
You can not import some things more than 25 units
You need to study the list of goods that are not allowed to be imported in large quantities. Lots of 25 or more items are considered significant. It is worth noting that quite unexpected things can be found in the lists. For example, false nails in quantities of 25 or more pieces cannot be imported into Cuba.
Foreigners are not allowed to travel with locals
If a Cuban citizen is caught driving in his car, and a foreigner is in the passenger seat, then both face heavy fines, and the citizen will have the car confiscated. The fact is that a citizen of Cuba without a taxi driver’s license cannot give a lift to foreigners. Even if he proves that he does it for free or gives a lift to an old acquaintance.
Foreigners are not allowed to stay with locals
To stay overnight at the home of a local Cuban citizen, you need to obtain a special permit issued by the municipal government. If the police catch people together in the house, they face fines, and the tourist will be deported.
Transportation of equipment
It is forbidden to import wireless microphones, walkie-talkies, as well as devices using satellite communications into Cuba. To do this, you need to obtain a special permit from the Ministry of Communications. However, even if you apply there, you should not be sure that this permission will be issued to you.
