Venezuela Spouse Visa

The Venezuela Spouse Visa falls under the Visa de Transeúnte Familiar Migrante Permanente category published by the Ministry of People’s Power for Foreign Affairs (MPPRE). It allows the spouse of a foreign national holding permanent resident status in Venezuela to enter and remain in the country alongside their partner. According to official Venezuelan consular sources, this visa is granted where the marriage was celebrated either within Venezuelan territory or abroad and duly registered with a Venezuelan consular office. The Venezuela Visa process for spouses requires proof of a legally recognised marriage along with standard immigration documentation. As with every Venezuela Visa category, the final decision rests exclusively with the competent Venezuelan consular and immigration authorities.

Eligibility

Based on official MPPRE guidance, applicants for a Venezuela Spouse Visa must generally:

  • Be a foreign national.
  • Hold a passport valid for at least six (6) months.
  • Be legally married to a foreign national who holds Migrante Permanente (permanent resident) status in Venezuela, with the marriage registered before a Venezuelan consular office if celebrated abroad.
  • Provide documentary proof of the marital relationship.
  • Pay the applicable consular fee.

Government Visa Fees

MPPRE does not publish one fixed fee for the Spouse Visa across all consulates. Official guidance consistently directs applicants to confirm the exact consular fee with the Venezuelan Embassy or Consulate where they are applying, as fees are determined individually by each diplomatic mission.

Processing Time

There is no officially published, fixed processing timeline for the Venezuela Spouse Visa. Consular officers must verify the marriage certificate and, where the marriage took place outside Venezuela, confirm that it has been properly registered with a Venezuelan consular office — a step that can add to processing time. Because review procedures and workloads differ from one embassy or consulate to another, applicants are advised to begin the process well ahead of their intended travel date and to check current timelines directly with their local Venezuelan diplomatic mission.
