Visa & Entry

Spanish passport holders enter Venezuela visa-free for up to 90 days for tourism. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry. You receive a tourist card (tarjeta de turismo) on the plane or at the airport. Keep it with your passport at all times. Immigration officers may ask for a return ticket and proof of accommodation.

Very few airlines fly directly to Venezuela from Spain. Most routes connect through Bogota, Panama City, or Lisbon. Flight availability has been limited since the mid-2010s due to the political and economic situation. Check current flight schedules carefully because routes appear and disappear.

Currency in Venezuela is complicated. The official currency is the bolivar, but the US dollar is widely used in daily transactions. Bring clean, recent US dollar bills. ATMs are unreliable and international cards often do not work. Do not exchange money on the street. Use official exchange channels or pay in dollars directly. Travel insurance with medical evacuation coverage is strongly advised because the public healthcare system is under severe strain.
