A tourist visa is issued for the purpose of leisure as well as for establishing first contacts with enterprises in the country or with people who work in specific areas of the public or private sector. This visa does not allow the holder to engage in any lucrative work. The tourist visa is granted for one (1) year, with multiple entries, but the Immigration Officials in Venezuela will set up the length of the stay. In general, each time the tourist may stay in the country for a period of up to ninety (90) days. The visa may be extended for an additional and equivalent period of time by the appropriate Venezuelan authorities (Ministry of the Interior and Justice).

Requirements:

• A Passport with at least 1 year of validity.
• Two recent front colour photographs, size 3 x 4, white or blue background.
• Original certificate or employment (stating the date on which the applicant began working for the company and his current position) or documents of the institution where the person studies.
• A reference letter issued by a banking institution that certifies the applicant's good standing and the date of the opening of the account.
• Return airline ticket or ticket to another country
• To fill up the visa application form.

• Once the requirements are verified by the Consular Section and the visa is approved then the applicant should deposit the equivalent to US $ 30 (thirty) in the account of the Consular Section of the Embassy of Venezuela in the Danske Bank No.- 445-1411330, Reg. number 3001. It is important to stress that the person should pay –additionally- the Bank’s fee for the transfer or deposit. If the transaction involves two Banks then please verify that both fees are included .

If you choose to process your certificate or other document by postal service, please include a self-stamped and self-addressed envelope. The Embassy recommends to use certified mail, and if is so, please send with the envelope the post office form “Postkvittering” duly complete to be able to return the document.

IMPORTANT:
The Embassy is not responsible for any loss of documents sent by ordinary post mail.

The average visa processing time will fluctuate between 4 days and 15 days, during which time the applicant’s passport has to remain with the Embassy.
