I was back in Havana for my 2nd trip of the year in October. Zero, zip, nada. Check the box on your VISA, then enjoy your trip! My friend Margot just got back last weekend with her boyfriend. Zero problemos. Chas. you are right, that has been my experience with Cuba travel every time before--uneventful and easy upon returning. This was specifically about global entry interview which is for a 5-year expedited status for customs when returning to US airports from just about anywhere. So i can understand if they want to be tighter, but they should just come out and ask--how does your travel fit into category 8? And if it does, it does.

DSegal Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Jerry they asked me to provide that "letter", and I didn't do that because I felt no matter what I gave them they were taking a closed mind approach...so I hope my application for Global Entry is just denied and goes away for a while, and I can go back to regular re-entry without any trouble...we shall see! Yes my advice is be prepared for your interview. Everyone else I know has said their Global Entry interviews were quick and easy. May yours be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been answering the same question (weekly) for the last couple of years, all borne of fear of the unknown. I’ve been to Havana 5 times in the last two years and have never been as much as slowed down coming back into the US. I was a bit nervous bringing back this bunch in October... ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
