I Love Mexican Vacations
Vacations in Mexico remain one of the best travel deals available.
I am a naturalized US Citizen (from Mexico) and want to travel to Cuba. What is the best way to go about it?
I plan to travel to Cuba through Mexico. Is it best to show the airline in Mexico and Cuban officials in Cuba my Mexican or American passport? I would like good thoughtful answers. I don’t need anyone B.Sing me that I can not have dual citizenship. I do know that is a bold face lie. Thanks everyone.
The regulations require that persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction, like you cabrón, be licensed in order to engage in any travel-related transactions pursuant to travel to, from, and within Cuba.
Transactions related to tourist travel are not licensable. This restriction includes tourist travel to Cuba from or through a third country such as Mexico or Canada. U.S. law enforcement authorities enforce these regulations at U.S. airports and pre-clearance facilities in third countries.
Travelers who fail to comply with Department of the Treasury regulations could face civil penalties and criminal prosecution upon return to the United States.

its against the law for American citizen to travel to Cuba without getting US govt permission. (Cuban-Americans don’t need this permit)
this is why your Mexican behind is traveling back to Mexico to catch a plane to Cuba…just leave your American passport in Mexico and use it to get back into the U.S.

The US government paints with a very broad brush. They maintain that their laws apply to US citizens living anywhere AND everyone, regardless of nationality, living in the US. If you are under U.S. jurisdiction it doesn’t matter if you also have another passport and travel to Cuba on that other passport. Unless you fall under one of the exception, when you return to the US, they would say that you are subject to prosecution.

I know you can. I actually have no problem with the legal immigrants.
I would use the mexican passport to get to Cuba, but I’m not really an expert, so I’ll suggest you do some official research.
And no, it actually isn’t illegal for an american to travel to Cuba anymore.

I remember my guitar teacher managing to do this somehow.
I think he first traveled to a Latin American or South American country, and then bought a ticket there to Cuba. Don’t forget to bring bribe money just in case.

Mexican passport.
You need a license from the US treasury department to travel to Cuba and tourist travel is not license-able.
As far as dual citizenship is concerned. You can have dual citizenship! Just not between the US and Mexico as Mexico does not allow dual citizenship. You can have dual nationality US and Mexico. Having either a US or Mexican passport does NOT make you a US or Mexican citizen! It makes you a US or Mexican national! There is a difference! Who ever told you that you had dual citizenship told you a bold faced lie!
