Passport & Visa Requirements
A
tourist visa to Venezuela is not required for US citizens, Canadians, UK citizens, or Australians who stay in Venezuela for less than 90 days. For other nationalities, please check the requirements at
https://www.visahq.com.
Important: Check the Current Travel Advisory
Before planning any travel to Venezuela, please review the latest official guidance. As of October 2026, the U.S. Department of State rates Venezuela
Level 3, “Reconsider Travel”, with several regions at Level 4, “Do Not Travel”. U.S. consular support is very limited: the U.S. Embassy in Caracas resumed operations in March 2026 but provides emergency services to U.S. citizens only, and U.S. visa services are handled through the U.S. Embassy in Bogotá, Colombia. Flight options between the United States and Venezuela have changed several times; see
getting to and around Venezuela for the current picture.
Conditions and entry rules can change quickly. We strongly recommend reviewing the
U.S. State Department travel advisory for Venezuela (or your own government’s equivalent) before making any plans.
Passport
Your
passport should be valid for a minimum period of 6 months after the date you enter any country in South America. For instance, if you plan to travel to Venezuela in March, your passport must be valid through September of that year. Carry a photocopy of your passport during your travels.
Vaccination Recommendations
We highly recommend visiting the World Health Organization website for the most up-to-date country-specific vaccination requirements.
