Which travellers require a transit visa/permission and which officially documented exemptions are important?

The Transit Visa (V-T) is granted to travellers whose itinerary includes a stopover in Venezuelan territory, i.e. non-migrants entering or crossing the national territory to go to another country; it applies only to citizens of countries that require a tourist visa to enter Venezuela.

Can the traveller remain airside, and under what circumstances must immigration control be crossed?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm whether the traveller can stay airside and when immigration control must be crossed.

Limits of the record
  • Searched the MPPRE transit page (357a4284efefa9cf.txt) for airside transit or when immigration control must be crossed; it only says the visa covers non-migrants who enter or cross the territory (cited in r1).

What officially documented baggage collection, terminal, separate-ticket or self-transfer situations affect the immigration requirement?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the baggage, terminal-change and self-transfer rules.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Searched all captures for baggage collection, terminal change, separate tickets or self-transfer; none. The ticket-copy requirement is onward-travel evidence used in r5.

What maximum transit period, overnight, airport-change or multiple-stop rules matter?

The transit visa is granted for seventy-two (72) hours, single entry, unless the confirmed ticket shows that on the return to the country of origin, domicile or residence the traveller must transit through Venezuela again; in that case it is granted for two entries with a stay of up to seventy-two (72) hours per entry.

If permission is required, what permission is it, where/how is it obtained, and what core onward-travel evidence is required?

The permission is the Transit Visa (V-T). Core onward-travel evidence: a photocopy of the ticket with the itinerary details. Proof of payment of the corresponding consular fee is required; the fee must be checked with the diplomatic or consular mission. The official source does not state where or how the application is lodged.
