Apply well in advance
eVisa processing takes 10-15 business days, and delays can happen. Don't book flights or hotels until you have the approved eVisa in hand. Also, the $180 USD fee is non-refundable if your application is rejected.
Use the official portal only
The only official eVisa application site is https://cancilleriadigital.mppre.gob.ve/. Be wary of third-party websites that charge extra fees — they're not affiliated with the Venezuelan government.
