No, you cannot live in Cuba without being a resident. To live in Cuba, you must have a visa, and there are no visas available for long-term stays that do not involve residency. The only way to live in Cuba for an extended period is to apply for residency, which requires meeting certain criteria, such as having a Cuban spouse or being a qualified professional in a field that is in demand in Cuba.
