Get in
If you are a citizen of any of the following countries, you may not require a visa to visit Venezuela for up to 90 days (if arriving by air, a tourist-card will be issued instead): - Andorra - Antigua & Barbuda - Argentina - Australia - Austria - Barbados - Belgium - Belize - Brazil - Bulgaria - Canada - Chile - Costa Rica - Czech Republic - Denmark - Dominica - Estonia - Finland - France - Germany - Greece - Grenada - Hong Kong - Hungary - Iceland - Iran (max. 15 days) - Ireland - Italy - Jamaica - Japan - Lithuania - Liechtenstein - Luxembourg - Malaysia - Mexico - Monaco - Netherlands - Netherlands Antilles - Nevis - New Zealand - Norway - Palestine - Paraguay - Peru - Poland - Portugal - Russia - San Marino - Spain - St. Kitts - St. Lucia - St. Vincent & The Grenadines - Sweden - Switzerland - Taiwan - Trinidad & Tobago - United Kingdom - Uruguay However, if you are planning to arrive by sea or overland, visas are officially required for most foreigners (although not commonly enforced), and they must be obtained from the nearest consulate beforehand, not at the borders. For business travelers, a visa is almost invariably required to be issued before entry. Note that as of March 2015, American citizens need to apply for a visa 90 days before traveling to Venezuela. The cost of the visa is $30 (USD) and it is valid for one year of multiple entries. If you plan to stay longer than 90 days and are entering by land, you will need to fly in from another country to stay longer, as there is a limit of 90 days in a year for land entries. However, there is no limit if you are entering by air, so you can reset your 90-day visa by flying in as often as you want. In Caracas, passengers pass through immigration in the recently refurbished arrivals hall before going to baggage claim. Be prepared for officers to check your passport and ask questions. When asked about your purpose of visit, make sure to mention that you are there for tourism only. At baggage claim, you will need to match the baggage sticker on your flight ticket to the barcode on your bag before handing over your tax form to customs officials. Be cautious of individuals who approach you after your arrival, offering assistance with locating a taxi or trading currency. It is advisable not to interact with anyone who approaches you, even if they claim to be airport officials. When taking a taxi from the airport, always agree on a price before getting into the cab and only use taxis that have the official yellow oval seal. Enjoy your trip to Venezuela and make sure to follow all necessary procedures for a smooth and enjoyable visit!
