HAVANA — Long lines are forming outside travel agencies,
migration offices and the U.S. Interests Section in Havana on the first
day of a new law easing travel restrictions on Cubans.
The law eliminates a number of bureaucratic procedures and costs that
for decades have been both real and symbolic obstacles to travel by
islanders.
It is not expected to result in a mass exodus from the island. But
foreign embassies have reported a high volume of queries about entry
visa applications in recent weeks.
Cuba observers have been waiting to see how the government implements
the law to gauge its effect. The measure contains language that lets
the government deny travel in cases of "national security."
It was announced in October and took effect Monday.
