Visa & Entry

Brazilian citizens can enter Venezuela visa-free for stays up to 90 days. A valid passport is required. The Brazilian RG national ID card is also accepted at land borders under Mercosur agreements, though airlines typically require a passport for flights.

Venezuela has limited ATM functionality and severe currency controls. Bring US dollars in cash. Entry at the Pacaraima/Santa Elena de Uairen land crossing can be slow due to immigration processing on both sides. For flights, Caracas Maiquetia is the main port of entry. Check current conditions before traveling, as consular services for Brazilians in Venezuela can be limited outside Caracas.
