UK Foreign Office advises travellers to avoid Cuba

Thursday, 12 Feb, 2026 0

The UK Foreign Office updated travel advice for Cuba, warning travellers against ‘all but essential travel.’

The fuel embargo and related shortages is causing ‘severe and worsening’ disruption, FCDO said.

It has warned of the likelihood of power outages.

The Cuba government has imposed restrictions on businesses to conserve energy with fuel rationing now in effect.

The FCDO says fuel supplies are now ‘severely limited.’

It says: “Cuba is experiencing severe and worsening disruption to essential infrastructure, persistent nationwide power outages, fuel shortages, and increasing safety risks.”

“These conditions significantly affect the ability of visitors to access reliable transport, medical care, communications, and basic services.”
