Emigration offices runs out of forms for exit permits

HAVANA, Cuba, March 21 (Juan Carlos Linares Balmaseda / www.cubanet.org) - The emigration office in the "10 de Octubre"district in the capital has run out of forms for those wishing to leave the island legally.

Even though someone has a valid visa to enter a foreign country, he or she needs an exit permit in order to leave Cuba.

Known colloquially as the "white card," the exit permit costs 150 dollars, payable through the purchase of stamps at a bank.

The emigration offices open at 8 a.m., by which time there are usually long lines of people waiting to request exit permits.
