Overview
Venezuela publishes visa category guidance through its consular network and migration/foreigner renewal guidance through SAIME. The France consular section is used here because it exposes a complete official route set and current electronic-visa guidance; applicants should still confirm local filing mechanics with the Venezuelan consulate serving their residence. The official electronic-visas page lists a Tourist Visa (T) for recreation, health or activities without profit motive. It says the visa is valid for one year with multiple entries and permits stays up to 90 days. The application starts through Cancilleria Digital and requires a passport with at least six months validity, white-background photo, application form, economic solvency, hotel reservation or invitation letter, criminal-record certificate and flight itinerary.
