is it possible for a cuban to come and stay in the UK for a while?

[nancie]

Just wondered if it is poss to have my friend from Cuba come and stay with me for a few months, just wanted to know if the Cuban gvmt allowed this??

I've no idea but I would have thought it's the govenrment where you live that you have to worry about, not the cuban one.

sorry, I thought you said UK, then I didn't see it in the question, so didn't refer to UK, then I re-read title. ukvisas.gov.uk can tell you whether someone would need a visa to visit the UK

Your friend will need an exit permit from the Cuban Government. How difficult that is to get I don't know - but they do issue them. Being a good party member probably makes it easier.

I would guess that s/he will need a UK visa as well - unfortunately the UK visas site isn't working properly at the moment

but you could try it later. (letters A-H are missing from the list of countries...)
