Venezuela Family Reunion Visa

The Venezuela Family Reunion Visa, officially known as the Visa de Transeúnte Familiar Migrante Permanente, allows the close family members of a foreign national who holds permanent resident status in Venezuela to enter the country and remain with their relative. According to the Ministry of People’s Power for Foreign Affairs (MPPRE), this visa is granted to a spouse, unmarried children under 18 years of age, parents, and parents-in-law of a resident foreigner, once the family relationship is duly verified. The Venezuela Visa is not intended for tourism or independent travel purposes; it is specifically designed to reunite verified family units. As with all Venezuela Visa categories, final approval rests solely with the competent Venezuelan consular and immigration authorities, who review each family reunification case individually.

Eligibility

To qualify for a Venezuela Family Reunion Visa, applicants must generally meet the following conditions as published by MPPRE:

  • Be a foreign national.
  • Hold a valid passport with a minimum of six (6) months’ validity.
  • Be a qualifying family member — spouse, unmarried child under 18, parent, or parent-in-law — of a foreign national who holds Migrante Permanente (permanent resident) status in Venezuela.
  • Provide documented, verifiable proof of the family relationship.
  • Pay the applicable consular fee.

Government Visa Fees

Fee TypeAmount
Consular FeeConsult the relevant Venezuelan Embassy or Consulate
INR EquivalentInformation may vary depending on the visa category and individual circumstances

MPPRE does not publish a fixed, universal fee for the Family Reunion Visa. Consular sources consistently state that the applicable consular fee must be confirmed directly with the Venezuelan Embassy or Consulate handling the application, as fees are set individually by each diplomatic mission and may change without prior notice.

Processing Time

Official Venezuelan sources do not publish a fixed processing timeline for the Family Reunion Visa. Each embassy or consulate reviews family reunification applications individually, verifying the authenticity of civil documents (such as birth or marriage certificates) and confirming the resident status of the family member already in Venezuela. Because this verification step can take additional time, and because workloads differ across diplomatic missions, applicants are strongly advised to apply well in advance of their intended travel date and to confirm current processing timelines directly with their local Venezuelan Embassy or Consulate.
