The eVisa takes 10–15 business days to process, and there's no rush service. If you apply too late, you risk missing your flight. Start at least 3 weeks before departure.
Official eVisa portal only
Use the official Venezuelan digital consulate portal (https://cancilleriadigital.mppre.gob.ve/) to apply. Third-party visa agencies may charge extra fees and aren't always reliable.
No visa on arrival
Myanmar passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Venezuela. Arriving without an approved eVisa means you'll be refused entry and sent back on the next flight.

Frequently asked questions
No. Myanmar passport holders are not eligible for visa on arrival. You must obtain an eVisa before traveling. The eVisa is issued online, and you'll need to show it at check-in and upon arrival.
Processing takes 10–15 business days. It's best to apply at least 3 weeks before your planned departure to account for any delays or requests for additional documents.
The eVisa fee is $180 USD, payable online via the official portal. The fee is non-refundable, so make sure your application is complete before paying.
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure from Venezuela. If it's shorter, you'll be denied boarding by the airline and entry by immigration. Renew your passport before applying for the eVisa.
If you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk (including many South American and African countries), you must show a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Even if you're coming directly from Myanmar, it's recommended to get vaccinated and carry the certificate, as it may be checked.
No, the eVisa for Myanmar passport holders is not extendable. You must leave Venezuela before your authorized stay expires. Overstaying can result in fines and future entry bans.
If your eVisa is denied, you'll receive a notification from the portal. The $180 USD fee is non-refundable. You can reapply, but you should first address the reason for rejection (e.g., missing documents, incorrect information). Alternatively, you can contact the nearest Venezuelan embassy or consulate for guidance.
