DOS Announces Expansion of Visa Restriction Policy for Individuals Exploiting Cuban Labor On February 25, 2025, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) expanded its Cuba-related visa restrictions to target individuals linked to Cuba’s labor export program, particularly its overseas medical missions. The policy applies to current and former Cuban government officials, foreign government officials involved in the program, and their immediate family members. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Cuba’s labor export system, including medical missions, constitutes forced labor, enriching the regime while depriving Cubans of essential medical care. The U.S. aims to hold those responsible accountable and curb the exploitation of Cuban workers abroad. Impact: This expanded visa restriction policy could affect multinational organizations, healthcare institutions, and government agencies engaging with Cuban professionals.

Businesses with Cuban labor connections should conduct due diligence to mitigate legal and reputational risks. Monitoring diplomatic developments and engaging with legal counsel will be key to navigating potential workforce disruptions and compliance challenges.
