CUBA
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.
