Cuban VISA - Was asked to post actual passport, and not a photocopy

    Does this make sense? I got in touch with a company, VISAFirst, about getting my Cuban VISA. They mentioned that I need to send on my actual passport instead of a photocopy. This seems a bit odd to me. Is this the norm?

    The visa would have to be attached to the passport, I would imagine.

    yes, this is the norm with visas, the visa goes in the passport. I don't know anything about CUban visas but there generally should be no need to use a company. I've always gone direct to the embassy/consulate

    There is no need to send your passport to a 3rd party.
    Cuba don't stick their Visas into your passport to save you any hassle if you go to America at a later date.
    Go directly to the Cuban Embassy in Dublin:

    Cuban Embassy
    2 Adelaide Court
    (off Adelaide Road)
    E-mail for inquires or requesting visa forms:
    easyapplication@hotmail.com

    Telephone: 4752999 4750899

    And they say
    ...
    The requirements for tourist visa are:

    Completed and signed application form.
    Photocopy of the main page of the passport (valid for 6 month after the departure from Cuba).
    Photocopy of your return ticket or letter from your travel agent confirming you have a return ticket.
    If applying by post, a registered self-addressed envelope to send the visa back.
    A Visa fee of 22.00 Euros (cash or money order payable to the Cuban Embassy are acceptable. If applying by post cash is not acceptable)
