Sierra Leone citizens need a visa issued in advance by an embassy or consulate of Cuba. Start the application several weeks before departure: you will typically need a passport valid for six months with blank pages, a completed application form, passport photos, a travel itinerary, proof of accommodation and of sufficient funds, and sometimes an invitation letter or bank statements.
Whatever your visa status, Cuba applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
Cuba lets 20 passports in without a visa, issues eVisas to 160 and requires an embassy visa from 18. Sierra Leone citizens are treated the same way as Cameroon, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana and Guinea. Overall the Sierra Leone passport ranks #125 in the world with 39 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Americas? With a Sierra Leone passport you can also visit 9 countries in the region without a visa, including Barbados, Bahamas, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago.
In the other direction, Cuba citizens need evisa to visit Sierra Leone.
