What does a Spaniard need to get married in Cuba?
If you are a citizen of Spain or Cuba and you are researching about marriage in Cuba with a Spaniard, you must assess the requirements that allow you to formalize the union. Later, if it is of interest to you, you can apply for a family reunification visa. The first step to take is to register the marriage and then apply for the visa.
The Cuban spouse must go to Spain and stay in the foreign country so that the Community Family Residence is facilitated. To do so, it is necessary to comply with the requirements that we at our Events Agency in Cuba have compiled:
