Venezuela visa requirements for Salvadoran citizens

Authorisation system

Visa through Cancillería Digital (Ministry of People's Power for Foreign Affairs)

The tourist visa is applied for online, on the Foreign Ministry's Cancillería Digital portal. Applicants register there, choose the Venezuelan embassy or consulate that will handle the application, fill in the form, upload the documents and pay. Approval arrives by email and the approved document is downloaded from the same portal, which also lets applicants book an appointment with the mission. Some consulates keep their own procedure with documents lodged in person, so check with the chosen mission how it works.

Fee

Only applies to nationalities that need a tourist visa. The exact amount varies by the issuing Diplomatic or Consular Representation and hasn't been verified specifically; the official site explicitly refers applicants to check with each consulate.

• ID-style photo with a white background, in JPG format
• Application form
• Proof of funds: a bank statement

Transit rules

As a tourist, the authorised stay is up to 90 days, extendable for an equal period at the migration authority's discretion; once that period is exceeded without having requested the extension, deportation applies. A verified particularity for Schengen-area passport holders: the tourism visa exemption only applies when entering by air; entering by land still requires a tourist visa.
