Cuba Travel by US Citizen and Non-citizen/Non-Resident spouse
Upvote:4
It's still not legal since you are not even supposed to travel to Cuba by yourself on independent travel. You are only allowed to travel with a Cuba travel organization that has an official license from the U.S. State Department. And traveling with those binds you to their schedule, too, which I guess you do not want to take.
So who pays for the hotel does not make a difference, because you are not even supposed to be there. If you get caught or not is a different matter, but it's still a violation of the embargo.
Specifics WHY you are not allowed to travel in general
There is a government document from the treasury outlining who is allowed to travel to cuba. The document also outlines the issue of spending money in detail. I summarize the general points about who can travel to keep it short:
- Persons visiting “close relatives”, be it Cuban or US persons working in Cuba legally
- Officials on official business, Professionals doing their job or going to meetings
- Faculty, staff and students on specific research
- Religious and telecom organization members & staff
- Agriculture & Medicine related workers
- People with a specific license from the government
Assuming that you are neither of this, you are NOT allowed to travel. The loophole is point 6, being someone who has a license. While you do not have a license, there is a sub-point 2) that gives licenses of the people-to-people program organizers which in return allows their customers to travel along with the program. This means that your only chance to travel legally to Cuba is through this program.
