Frequently asked questions
The eVisa is typically valid for a single entry and allows a stay of up to 90 days. However, the exact validity and duration of stay are determined by the Venezuelan authorities at the time of approval. Check your eVisa for the specific dates.
No, the eVisa is not extendable. If you wish to stay longer, you would need to leave Venezuela and apply for a new visa, or contact the Venezuelan immigration office (SAIME) before your authorized stay expires to ask about other options — but extensions are generally not granted for this visa type.
If your application is denied, the $180 USD fee is non-refundable. You'll receive a notification with the reason. You can reapply, but you'll need to pay the fee again and address the issue that caused the rejection. It's best to double-check all documents before submitting.
Venezuela requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate for travelers arriving from certain countries. Mongolia is not on the high-risk list, but if you've recently visited a yellow fever endemic country, you'll need to show proof of vaccination. Check with the Venezuelan embassy or your airline for the latest requirements.
No, you must apply online before you travel. There is no visa-on-arrival option for Mongolian passport holders. Arriving without an approved eVisa will result in being denied entry and likely being sent back on the next flight.
Apply at least 3–4 weeks before your planned departure. The processing time is 10–15 business days, but delays can happen. Applying early gives you a buffer in case additional documents are requested.
The eVisa is linked to your passport, not your flight dates. If your dates change within the visa's validity period, it should still be fine. However, if you need to change the entry date significantly, contact the Venezuelan digital visa support through the portal to ask if an adjustment is possible.
