Lithuanian passport holders can enter Venezuela without a visa for tourism or business stays up to 90 days. As of 2026, you simply arrive at any port of entry and receive a tourist stamp. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of entry.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned departure 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 exit from Venezuela | Immigration officers at Maiquetía Airport routinely ask for a printed or digital return ticket. Have a confirmed onward booking ready — a refundable ticket or onward flight to a neighboring country works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers sometimes ask where you are staying. Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number. A printed copy is safer than showing your phone. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry at least $100 USD in cash per day of your stay, plus a credit card. Venezuela has severe cash shortages — bring crisp US dollars (no tears, no marks) as ATMs often run out of bolívars. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check your passport validity at check-in. If you have less than 6 months left, you will not be allowed to board. Double-check before you go.
No visa-free extension possible
You cannot extend the 90-day tourist stay from within Venezuela. If you need more time, you must apply for a visa at a Venezuelan consulate before your trip.
