Department of Socio Cultural studies which belongs to the Faculty of Social
Sciences and Humanities, has decided to offer a course on this subject. This
course also includes the improvement of the Spanish language skills.

This visa will be processed
once the student is accepted by the academic area and sent to the Cuban embassy
located in the country of the student.
It will be valid during 30 days after the arrival of the student in our
country. If the studies require more than 30 days, this visa should be
extended.

the interested ones could arrive in the country with a tourist visa. Once
accepted by the academic area a member of our staff will only change it into
student visa. In these cases the immigration authorities in the country reserve
the right of their approval.
All the processes in
relation with visas are done at the local immigration office. They all require
a certain fee in stamps bought at a certain bank in CUC (Cuban Convertible
Peso). To change from Tourist Visa to Student Visa: 40.00 CUC. To extend a
Student Visa: 25.00 CUC.
