Flight and hotel proof for the e-visa
Updated
The official list requires a flight itinerary showing your entry into and exit from Venezuela, and either a hotel reservation or an invitation letter. Applicants report estimated dates and a refundable hotel booking (cancelled afterwards) being accepted, and a purchased ticket was not required. What matters is that the dates match on the flight, the hotel and the form.

The flight itinerary

I am staying with family. Do I still need a hotel?
No. The list accepts an invitation letter instead: who invites, where the guest stays, for how long, and who covers the trip and costs.

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 If a rule is withdrawn, that point disappears from the page.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.
