What it means in practice

Our data has no fixed number of days for this entry type: the length of stay is set on the visa or at the border.

How Venezuela counts your stay: Tourist card holders: up to 90 days from entry. Overstaying can lead to arrest and a fine on departure.

Before you go

Official details are shown in English.

  • Visa from a Venezuelan embassy or consulate — Before travel; visas are not issued on arrival; Set by the Venezuelan mission. Entering without a valid visa can lead to long detention or imprisonment. Any non-tourist trip (work of any kind, NGO work, journalism, filming, volunteering, study, internships) needs a visa matching its purpose, even for visa-exempt nationals. Official site
  • Travel permit for children — Before travel; Depends on the issuing office. A child travelling alone, with a guardian or with only one parent needs a permit from the non-travelling parent(s), issued by SAREN or a children's court in Venezuela, or by a Venezuelan embassy or consulate if the child lives abroad. Carry it during the trip; without it the child can be stopped from leaving. Official site
