Venezuela Student Visa
The Venezuela Student Visa, officially known as the Visa de Transeúnte Estudiante (TR-E), is granted to non-migrant applicants who wish to enter the country to pursue higher technical or university studies, specialisation courses, or internships in their field of study. It is issued through a Venezuelan embassy or consulate abroad, based on a formal request from the accepting Venezuelan educational institution or organisation. Once granted, the Student Visa is generally valid for one year with multiple entries, permitting a stay for the same period. Extensions must be requested from the Ministry of Popular Power for Interior Relations, Justice and Peace at least two months before expiry. Final approval rests solely with Venezuelan consular authorities.

To apply for a Venezuela Student Visa, applicants generally must:
- Not be migrating permanently to Venezuela

*The Student Visa is generally processed through the traditional embassy/consulate route rather than the Cancillería Digital e-Visa portal, which currently covers Tourist and Business categories. The exact consular fee (arancel consular) must be confirmed directly with the Venezuelan embassy or consulate handling the application. Information may vary depending on the visa category and individual circumstances — always confirm exact Venezuela Visa Fees with your nearest Venezuelan diplomatic mission.
Processing Time
Venezuela Visa Processing Time for the Student Visa (TR-E) depends on the specific embassy or consulate handling the application, since this category is generally processed through traditional consular channels rather than the e-Visa portal. Processing can take several weeks, and applicants should factor in additional time for the sponsoring Venezuelan institution to prepare and send the required request letter and certificate of acceptance. Given the operational constraints at some Venezuelan diplomatic posts, applicants are strongly advised to begin the process well in advance of their intended enrolment date and to confirm current processing timelines directly with the relevant embassy or consulate.
