Apply well in advance
The eVisa processing time is 10-15 business days, but it can take longer if there are issues with your application or if the system is backed up. Don't book non-refundable flights until you have your approved eVisa in hand.
Use the official portal only
The only official way to apply is through cancilleriadigital.mppre.gob.ve. Be wary of third-party websites that charge extra fees or promise faster processing — they are not affiliated with the Venezuelan government.
