Fees, payment and retries: what the e-visa costs
Updated
Applicants report the Venezuela tourist e-visa costs about $60 per solicitud plus a processing fee of about $3. No official source publishes the amount, so pay what the portal shows; higher figures in some guides match no recent report. Every new solicitud, including a retry, is charged again, and the earlier fee is not refunded.

Emit, then pay in the portal
Choose "No, emitir"; if the portal then shows a payment, pay it there with your own card.

If denied, find out why before paying again
A denial with only 3 of 5 steps complete usually means the payment failed, not a refusal. Otherwise the reason arrives by email.

Retry with a new solicitud
Wait until the old request is closed, fix exactly what was wrong, and replace any old file: uploads carry over into new requests.

How this works
- Every step, mistake and answer rests on a rule in our rules base, with its source (official manual, reviewer, or applicant reports) and the date it was last verified. If a rule is withdrawn, that point disappears from the page.
- Amounts, durations and limits come from one configuration with its own verification date; "Last updated" is the newest date of everything the page shows.
- Written by us from the MPPRE manuals and dated applicant reports. We never quote or name members of community groups.
