Get a Venezuela Visa

1. When is the best time to apply for my Venezuela visa? The best time to apply for your Venezuela visa is 1-2 months before your travel date.
2. Do I have to send you my passport to get a Venezuela visa? Is it safe to send a passport? You will need to send your actual passport, not a copy of it. The Venezuela visa is stamped on your passport and will become one of your passport pages. Visa requests cannot be processed without your original passport.
