A Large Suitcase

do you have any suggestions on how to get him out of Cuba?
And pray they don't open it at exit control. And there is air in the luggage compartment in the plane.
Seriously this alleged boyfriend of yours LIVES there for criminey's sake - he must know what is permitted (nothing) and forbidden (everything) in terms of travel freely in and out of the country (none). I would think for a gay man they'd be even less accommoddating since they are not the most permissive culture in Cuba.
I have friend - American - lived in Havana for 8 years and knows the rules well as he had to literally leave every 30 days for either Bahamas or Mexico to renew his tourist card and was thrown out when the Pope visited (allowed to come back when Papa skeedaddled) and was also arrested twice for having no papers on him during an univited and baseless roust.
Nobody who was not a party member with status got an exit visa to go anywhere. And a vacation was never consdiered grounds for even asking.
Even the DR might listen to a request for refugee status or asylum from him so they are not going to grant a visa assuming they have a consulate in Havana to apply at.
