Assurance à Cuba?

Original post
Quelque fois j'ai la misère à comprendre quand je me pose une question qui m'embête tout le temps ....
la question est : j'ai pris un forfait non médical sur les assurances ( annulation bagages , retard, etc...) car mon épouse a un assurance de sa job pour nous assurer notre voyage, là bas à Cuba , on sait que le 1er mai 2010 , une assurance obligatoire pour tout voyageur vous voyez....est-ce qui accepte comme ça ou bien il accepte aussi l'assurance maladie du Québec si il nous demande ?
Merci de m'avoir lu mon message...................😕
Il faut apporter une preuve de votre assurance privé. J'apporte toujours ma preuve (format portefeuille) de mon assurance collective du travail. Je ne sais pas si c'est assez car j'ai déjà lu qu'il faillait que ce soit traduit en espagnol mais dans les faits, on m'a jamais demandé de fournier une preuve d'assurance.
merci et si vous dite que format porte feuille veut dire la carte de l'assurance collective de mon épouse c'est ça ??
merci , Chelma
Oui c'est ça, la carte d'assurance collective. Personnellement, puisque je vais à Cuba quelques fois par année, je vais communiquer avec mon assurance pour savoir s'il est possible d'avoir cette preuve en espagnol.
merci tout le monde et je suis très apprécié de votre réponse rapide......Bon voyage!!
Te casse pas la tête. Ta carte soleil est valable.
Quoi que pas suffisante en cas de pépins, si tu sais que tu est assuré en plus, ça vous suffit..

Faites une recherche sur ce forum. Cela a été répété des centaines de fois: LA CARTE D'ASSURANCE MALADIE DE LA RAMQ (CARTE-SOLEIL) EST SUFFISANTE POUR LES AUTORITÉS CUBAINES.
Si vous voulez une assurance privée pour couvrir ce que la RAMQ ne couvre pas, c'est votre choix, mais ce n'est PAS EXIGÉ PAR LES AUTORITÉS CUBAINES.

c'est bien et ça me rassure..merci.
Il y en a un avec son Villa Lamar qui pose la question juste au dessus de ce post sur la page principale. On s'en sortira pas.
Il a acheté un voyage et ne sais même pas où il va en plus. 🙁🙁🙁

Mooi et ma famille la vécu avec notre enfants nous avions une assurance du Canada en plus de nos cartes de crédits etle <lprsque le priblème est venu concernant notre fils alors ma femme qui est cubaine c'es fait dire avez vous une assurance de Cuba car les autres assurance dont le Canada est couvert sauf que il faut payer cash d'avance et ce faire rembourser alors ma femme a décider de faire valoir sa citoyennete cubaine et n'a rien payer pour les traitements de notre fils ..
Alors depuis cet incident nous sommes assuré ici au Canada en plus de prendre une assurence à l'aéroport de Cuba qui coûte en moyenne 4$ par jours donc je vous dit de prendre une assurance à l'aéroport de3 Cuba si advenant un problème et vous ne payer rien comme consultation , traitement, injestion, hospitalisation ect ......

C'est pas rassurant votre affaire ...........j'écoute les autres qui m'ont dite sur la question que j'ai posé .point final!!!!!
Moi je te dit qu'il est mieux de prendre une assurtance à Cuba car vous ne payer rien demander à l'ambassade du Canada car vous avez payer à Cuba si et je dit si gros problèmes alors vous avez votre assurenace de MTl il est toujour mieux de faire affaires avec le pays dont vous visités le rstes est de l'arnaque. et comme je l'ait dit OK ma femme est cubaine et jamais nous allons prendre une assurance du Canada car avec nos carte de crédi ect nous sommes toujopurs canadiens alors à vous de jugé et moi come canadien je vous conseille de prendre une assurance cubaine dans leur pays..
bonne vacances

j, ai regarder ton profil et je voit que tu aqimes la musique alors demande à Vic Vogel et je sais que tu peu le retrouver c lui qui ma fait vraiment découvrer Cuba en 2000 et ce depusi plus de 100 voyages à Cuba et en plus d'avoir marié une cubaine et avoir 2 enfants et plus de 2 maisons à Cuba alors je crois que je m'y connais
depuis 2003 marier à cubaine
Je voudrais bien croire que vous dite et je me suis informé ce soir à ma fille qui a été à Varadero ..elle me dit ils ont pas posé la question et elle a passé de même mes 3 amis qui ont été cette année ont fait de même ...trouvez vous pas qu'ont paye assez cher les assurances ici ( mes billets incluant mes assurances + carte soleil du gouvernement) ...
Revenez pas encore de me poser ta réponse car j'ai déjà assez comme ça comme réponse. merci!
P:S : vous dites que vous payer pas des assurances au Canada ...hum! v'là la réponse pourquoi les autorités cubaines vous demande de payer
Drummo, ne vous fiez pas à Juajiro SVP, premièrement il est mal informé et il croit ce qu'il veut bien croire (voir la discussion sur la citoyenneté cubaine à ses enfants, c'est vraiment du délire), deuxièmement ce qu'il écrit est incompréhensible (à croire qu'il est lui-même Cubain de naissance et que le français est sa 2e langue apprise sur le tard).
Et surtout, une Cubaine (comme sa femme) qui rentre à Cuba va nécessairement se faire poser beaucoup plus de questions sur l'assurance-maladie que le touriste "normal" qui s'en va en vacances à Cuba. Pour le touriste "moyen" qui n'est ni Cubain, ni marié avec un Cubain, dans 99% des cas il ne se fera même pas demander sa preuve d'assurance. Pour l'autre 1%, la carte de la RAMQ (carte-soleil) est amplement suffisante pour satisfaire les autorités cubaines. Ceci a été confirmé par le bureau du tourisme cubain l'an passé et je n'ai aucune raison de croire que cela ait changé. Je suis allée à Cuba, avec mon mari Cubain, à deux reprises depuis ce temps, et les deux fois la carte-soleil était suffisante, autant pour mon mari que pour moi et notre fils.
Cependant, il peut être une bonne idée, pour mieux vous protéger, d'avoir une assurance privée supplémentaire qui couvre ce qui n'est pas couvert par la RAMQ (frais de rapatriement au Québec par exemple). Mais si j'étais vous, la dernière chose que je prendrais c'est l'assurance vendue à Cuba, qui ne vous couvrira... que pour les soins à Cuba (!)...

Ne t'en fait pas.
Le gars qui s'est cassé le dos n'a pas été payé par l'assurance, car l'assurance ne couvrait pas les sports extrêmes.
Si tu n'en fait pas, tu ne cours aucun risque.
Vrai que tu doit payer tes frais avant de sortir, mais c'est remboursé par tes assurances.
De plus, va sur Kinetix. Je paie mes assurances moins de $30.00 pour 2 semaines, sans déductible.
Il m'est arrivé une fois de me faire soigner pour 200CUC et ils ont payé sans problèmes.
P.S. Il m'insultait et mes enfants sur une autre discussion et j'ai fait enlever le message. (des sans classe, ça existe partout et sévit particulièrement sur le net, derrière un clavier. C'est plus facile).

Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia for 3 weeks in November: should I take malaria prophylaxis, which medication, when to take it, and are there any side effects?
At the end of my trip, I’ll spend 5 days up north near the Angolan border and in Etosha National Park.
Thanks for sharing your travel tips and advice!

Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I have asthma...
I wanted to know about the regulations regarding Ventolin (Salbutamol) in Japan—is it considered a drug? Can I bring my inhaler with me, or do I need to buy a similar product in Japan?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi everyone!
I have two American cousins. The older one was born in Paris, and his sister was born in California. The latter is planning a trip to Paris this summer, but she recently fell ill, and American doctors don’t know what’s wrong. I had the idea of letting her take advantage of her trip to get treated here, avoiding the high healthcare costs of the American system in the process. The problem is, I can’t find anything online about this—just testimonials from French people who used to be American, but nothing for a simple tourist.
Could you shed some light on this for me?
Thanks in advance.

We’re planning a trip to the Philippines from April 22 to May 8, 2026. Flight from Geneva with a layover in Turkey and Manila. Our itinerary: Angeles – Busuanga – Palawan…
The Philippines are a dream destination, but is it possible to travel there safely? I’ve heard that checked luggage often gets lost, tap water isn’t safe to drink, and mosquitoes are everywhere.
For water, what’s the best solution to carry in a backpack? Is a filtering water bottle 100% reliable?
For mosquitoes, should we treat our clothes with repellent? Are you vaccinated against hepatitis A, malaria, or dengue? Or is there an oral treatment to take?
Thanks for your feedback!

Hi there,
Does anyone know if there’s travel insurance for someone who’s had a heart attack?
I can’t find an insurer that covers a pre-existing condition, even if it’s stable.
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!
Hello,
We’re planning to spend 3 months in Madagascar starting in mid-February.
Areas: Mahajanga, Tulear, Diego Suarez, and Sainte Marie—the order isn’t set yet. We’ll either drive for part of the trip or take flights.
We’ve heard all sorts of things about required vaccines and medications (is anti-malarial mandatory?). What’s the exact situation for travelers?
I’ll come back to you for other topics (like finding a reliable driver, among others).
Thank you.
Best wishes to you all,

We're about to go on an organized trip to South Africa, including Kruger Park. We were told that Malarone should preferably be taken in the evening at the same time during a meal. But it's hard to know what time we'll have dinner, especially since I've read that in South Africa, dinner is usually around 6 PM.
I'd love to hear from people who've been on organized trips to this destination and could share their experience. We were thinking of taking Malarone around 7:30 PM, assuming dinner would be closer to 7 PM than 6 PM. Also, if the meal ends up being earlier or later than when we take the pill, would a cookie or a piece of bread be enough to take with Malarone?
Thanks for your replies!

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to set off on a "round-the-world" trip/long journey at the start of next year, lasting between 4.5 and 6 months. For now, the itinerary looks like this: South Korea (2 weeks) -> Japan (1 month) -> New Zealand (1 month) -> Argentina (1 month) -> United States (1 month).
I’m on medication (paroxetine 20 mg/day) and was hoping to bring enough for the entire trip so I wouldn’t have to find a doctor on the spot, deal with a molecule that might be slightly different from what’s available in France, or wonder if that’s even a possibility. Basically, it seemed simpler on paper...
But after looking into the regulations for each country, it’s suddenly way less simple . Many seem to only allow the amount corresponding to the length of your "stay" in the country... Which is a problem if I arrive in Korea with 4.5 months’ worth of medication, for example.
After all that, and even though I’ll obviously contact the relevant authorities in each country (fingers crossed for a response 😛), here’s my question: Has anyone here had any experience with this? (Even if it’s a different medication or different countries, any input would be helpful!)
Thanks in advance! 😉 Ananasas

Hi there,
I’m trying to plan a trip to Dubai with my mom. I’ve seen that some of our medications require prior authorization (sleeping pills, codeine, anti-anxiety meds, etc.).
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in our situation. A friend of mine applied to bring her tramadol, but it was denied—though she needed high doses!
Has anyone here gone through this process? Do we *really* need a prescription in English?
Thanks

Hi,
We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.
We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.
We’re thinking about canceling our trip.
If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I’m starting a new discussion on this topic since there doesn’t seem to be a recent one.
I have several chronic conditions (including asthma and related ones), and I’m planning to travel for a year across different countries.
Generally, I understand it’s possible to travel with approved medications (which should be my case), but often with a limit of 3 months’ worth of treatment.
Since I’m going for 12 months, that means for three-quarters of my trip, I’d have more than 3 months’ worth of medication.
I plan to bring my prescriptions with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name), as well as the original packaging (even though it’s a nightmare, but from what I understand, it’s necessary). But I’m not sure if that’s enough...
Have any of you been in this situation before? How does it work at customs—do I need to declare everything that exceeds the 3-month limit? Do I need a letter from my doctors?
Thanks in advance for your replies,
See you soon, Bruno

Hi there,
I’ve already visited quite a few countries across several continents, but I’m pretty new to Asia.
I’m planning a trip to Thailand in October or November, and I wanted to check about health precautions: malaria treatment, vaccinations (hepatitis A or others...). I’ll mostly be in the northern region, around Chiang Mai, where I’ll spend a lot of time in nature and the mountains. Then I’ll head south to Phuket or Krabi and visit Khao Sok National Park. I’ll finish up in Bangkok, with a likely detour to Kanchanaburi.
From what I understand, for a stay of less than 60 days, I don’t need a visa (I’m a French national)? I just need to fill out the TDAC form 3 to 5 days before arrival?
Thanks for your advice! Fred

Hi there! So, I'm hesitating about taking a long trip. I'd like to go away for 2 to 3 months and travel across several continents. I’d love some advice. I often have unexplained allergies and need to follow a daily treatment for my diabetes (insulin). I think I can get authorization from my doctor to travel for 6 months with the treatment—is that correct? After those 6 months, is it possible (instead of bothering a relative to send the medication) to see a foreign doctor to get another 6-month travel authorization? How does it work at the airport? Do I need just one medication transport authorization, or do I have to request a new one in each country (once the treatment runs out) for both the flight and a DCI? Also, travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so will I have to pay for foreign consultations out of pocket? I’m not sure if I explained myself clearly. Oh, and just to repeat—travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so foreign consultations will be at my own expense? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
After years of traveling to the USA without any medical insurance subscriptions—and luckily never having any major health issues (though I did get a scorpion sting buried in the sand at CBSouth, 😇)—life has caught up with us, and we’re now being forced into "wisdom" and leaving our carefree days behind.
So, I’m looking for the best compromise for a 2-month health insurance plan. I’ve read the discussions on this topic, but the most recent one is from last year, and I’d love your take on the current situation. I’m familiar with the usual options like Europ Assistance and AXA, but I’ve just discovered Chapka and Heymondo (the latter seems interesting in terms of both price and coverage).
What do you think of these last two? How do they compare in terms of value for money against the bigger companies?
Thanks in advance, everyone.

Hi,
We’ve planned a 3-week trip to Bali this summer with our 7-year-old daughter. The itinerary includes Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, and Ubud. The more time passes, the more we read about people getting sick—some with mild to severe traveler’s diarrhea, and many ending up in the hospital. We, as parents, have been through it in Egypt with pretty bad cases, but we’d really like to avoid that for our daughter. Even though there’s no zero risk, and we’ll be careful, can any of you reassure me? Not everyone got sick, right? I’d love to hear positive feedback from parents, but not just them 😊. Thanks in advance!
Hi there...
I’m traveling with a friend for a month in November.
We booked our round-trip tickets from Paris to Phnom Penh, and yes, I know—it was a mistake. We should’ve flown out of Laos, but here we are.
But is it doable to backpack through both countries in a relaxed way?
I’ve seen that the transport takes a while...
Thanks so much for your replies.
Hi there,
I’ve started looking into getting dental implants, possibly in Costa Rica or Mexico.
Do you have any clinics to recommend or ones I should avoid?
For the next steps, I need to choose between Cuba Medika or Medigo—these are agencies that help with medical procedures. Do you have any info on either of them?
Thanks so much for your help!

For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals.
At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans.
It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies.
The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals.
The contagion seems to be spreading.
Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered.
Just a reminder:
Rabies affects all mammals.
Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable.
It’s the bite that transmits the disease.
There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression.
In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential.
Stay careful out there…
Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
I need 2 dental implants and I'd like to get them done abroad (it's a question of price).
Thanks for helping me with my search (Turkey, Spain, Romania???)
Can you tell me if you're satisfied with the services provided by Dentist Miguel at Club Amigo in Holguin? I'd like to go there in mid-December. Is it worth the trip to get dental prosthetics done?
Thanks for getting back to me... Michelle from Quebec
Hello,
I’m looking for a dentist who can do a full lower-arch implant with a complete prosthesis. I’m in Quebec and available to travel to Cuba. Need full contact details. Thanks everyone!
