Who can receive money in Cuba?
Family remittances:
You can easily send money to family members related by blood, marriage, or adoption. The sender and receiver don’t need to have the same last name. This includes:
- - Children, stepchildren, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren
- - Parents, stepparents, grandparents, and great-grandparents
- - Spouses, brothers/sisters-in-law, fathers/mothers-in-law, spouses' parents and grandparents
- - Brothers/sisters, nephews/nieces
- - Uncles/aunts, cousins, and second cousins
Emigration remittances:
Pre-visa: Up to $1,000 may be sent before the receiver has obtained a US State Department visa to help cover the receiver's preliminary emigration expenses.
Post-visa: After the receiver has obtained a US State Department visa, an additional $1,000 may be sent to help the receiver emigrate from Cuba to the US. Often there are charges associated with emigration, such as plane tickets, exit payments, third-country taxes, and other trip-related charges.
