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 France consular section no longer publishes a separate investor-visa page in its live visa route set. Treat this as an authority-check pathway: confirm with the consular section, Cancilleria Digital and the relevant Venezuelan ministry whether the investment should be filed as an electronic transeunte/business request, an entrepreneur/industrial request or another authorized category before preparing evidence.
