Venezuela's 2026 Electronic Visa (e-Visa) System
The online e-visa introduced in 2026 through the Cancillería Digital portal, and who now uses it.
Important
In 2026 Venezuela launched a fully online electronic-visa system for tourist and business travellers who are not visa-exempt, operated through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Cancillería Digital portal. The system centralises online registration, document verification and electronic payment.
It particularly affects nationals of countries that lost visa-free access, such as the United States and Canada, who apply for their tourist or business visa online rather than at an embassy — relevant given the reduced Venezuelan diplomatic presence in some of those countries. Because implementation details and fees have evolved, travellers should rely on the official portal for the current process.
Key points
- Applies to tourist (T) and business (TR-N) travel for non-exempt nationalities
- Run through the Cancillería Digital portal (cancilleriadigital.mppre.gob.ve)
- Online registration, document upload and electronic payment
- There is still no visa on arrival — the visa must be obtained before travel
