Passport Authorizations permit limitless entries into Cuba without the need of any other formalities than the original application. This allows Cuban emigrants to stay in Cuba for 30 days, a stay that can be extended for a maximum of 30 additional days by making an application in person at the Immigration Office closest to the residence of their family in Cuba. This Authorization is not intended for PRE and PSI holders.  These must continue requesting their PRE-3for entry into Cuba. This authorization procedure is made only once.  When it is granted, it has indefinite validity.  The application can be made at the Cuban Consulate which will be in charge of dispatching it to Cuban Immigration Services, and these will either approve or refuse its granting.  A corresponding form must be filled out.

To be able to travel to Cuba, the authorization must be stamped into the passport of the Cuban citizen.  Even though it may have been approved, it must be entered into the passport in order to be able to enter the country.

The Tourist Visa or Tourist Card is only for purposes of tourism to Cuba.  It is valid for one single entrance into national territory for a 30-day trip and can be extended for an additional 30 days at the office in the hotel where one has accommodations or with the immigration authority. Minors must have their own Tourist Card even if they are travelling under their parents' passport(s).
