How long is the Venezuela e-visa taking?
Updated
The June 2026 manuals say about 72 hours, but first-hand reports show the Venezuela tourist e-visa taking days to weeks from submission to decision. This tracker shows the current range by nationality and month, with the number of reports behind it. Apply at least 3 to 4 weeks before your flight.
Real waits from submission to decision for the tourist e-visa, from our own decided cases and anonymous reports from applicants. Shown as a range with the number of reports behind it, never a single promise.
Privacy: The report form asks only for nationality, two dates and the outcome: no name, email or number. Reports are anonymous.

How this works
- Each decision counts once: our own cases with a recorded submission and decision date, plus reports applicants send with the form on this page. Test and demo cases never count.
- The range is the 25th to 75th percentile: half of all decisions fell inside it. Any group with fewer than 5 reports is hidden until there are enough.
- The numbers refresh every night. A new report counts in the next update.
- When the wait ends in a rejection, the rejection decoder explains what it most likely means.
