Venezuela Transit Visa
The Venezuela Transit Visa, officially known as the Visa de Tránsito (V-T), is granted to non-migrant travellers whose itinerary includes a stopover in Venezuelan territory on their way to another country. This visa applies only to citizens of countries that require a tourist visa to enter Venezuela — travellers from visa-exempt countries generally do not need a separate transit visa for a short connection. Most international transits through Simón Bolívar International Airport (Caracas) require clearing immigration to change terminals, which is why a transit visa is often necessary even for travellers who do not intend to leave the airport for tourism purposes. Final approval rests solely with Venezuelan consular authorities.
Eligibility
To apply for a Venezuela Transit Visa, applicants generally must:
- Be a non-migrant traveller whose itinerary includes a stopover in Venezuela en route to a third country
- Be a national of a country that requires a tourist visa to enter Venezuela (transit visas do not apply to visa-exempt nationalities)
- Hold a passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of application
- Provide a confirmed travel ticket showing the full itinerary, including onward travel from Venezuela
- Present a medical certificate issued by the health authority of their country of origin

*The Transit Visa is generally processed through the traditional embassy/consulate route. 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 Transit Visa (V-T) depends on the specific embassy or consulate handling the application. Since the visa is only valid for a short window (72 hours), applicants should apply well in advance of their travel date to ensure the visa is issued before departure, rather than relying on last-minute processing. Given the operational constraints at some Venezuelan diplomatic posts, applicants are advised to confirm current processing timelines directly with the relevant embassy or consulate and to build in a comfortable buffer before their connecting flight or onward journey.
