What general licenses currently authorize travel or remittances to Cuba, Iran, and Russia?

OFAC authorizes specific categories of travel and remittances to Cuba and Iran through standing general licenses, while Russia has no blanket personal-transaction general license at all. For Cuba, the Cuban Assets Control Regulations (31 CFR Part 515) list 12 authorized travel categories under § 515.560 — family visits, journalistic activity, professional research, religious and educational activities — and § 515.570 authorizes family remittances with no dollar cap since a 2022 rule removed the prior $1,000 quarterly limit. For Iran, 31 CFR § 560.550 (ITSR) authorizes noncommercial personal remittances processed only through a U.S. depository institution or registered broker-dealer, not money-service businesses or hawalas. Russia has no comparable standing license: authorizations under the Russian Harmful Foreign Activities Sanctions Regulations (31 CFR Part 587) are individually numbered, narrow, and expire on fixed dates — always verify current status on ofac.treasury.gov before relying on one.
