Me and my girlfriend would like to go to Cuba from Denmark. We would like to go to Miami for a few days before going to Cuba and then spend the rest of the vacation in Cuba. So our flights are as follows:
Denmark-Miami
Miami-Havana
Havana-Denmark
My question is, if this is legal? I have read something about new regulation and that you can not go to Cuba from the USA as a tourist. But it is not easy to figure out, so du any of you know the answer to this?
It seems that nothing has changed.
Travel to Cuba is regulated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Anyone located in the United States, regardless of citizenship and nationality, must comply with these regulations. [...] Travelers who fail to comply with regulations may face penalties and criminal prosecution.
Is travel to Cuba for tourist activities permitted?
No. Consistent with the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act of 2000 (TSRA), travel-related transactions involving Cuba are only permitted for the 12 categories of activities identified in the CACR. Travel-related transactions for other purposes remain prohibited.
So you need to go (for example) Miami-Cancun and Cancun-Havana instead.
