Indonesian passport holders can visit Venezuela visa-free for tourism or business for up to 90 days. No visa is needed for travel in 2026, but you must meet entry requirements including a valid passport and proof of onward travel.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned departure date from Venezuela. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Venezuela | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward ticket showing you leave within 90 days. A refundable ticket or a cheap bus ticket to a neighboring country works — just have something printed or on your phone. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have your first night's hotel confirmation ready. If staying with friends, a simple letter from them with their address and phone number is usually accepted. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry at least $500 USD in cash or have a bank statement showing sufficient balance. Credit cards are not widely accepted outside Caracas — cash is king here. | Recommended |
Political situation — stay informed
Venezuela has ongoing political and economic instability. Check your government's travel advisories before booking. Avoid protests and large gatherings.
