United Arab Emirates to Venezuela visa requirements

UAE ordinary passport holders need a visa for Venezuela and should use Venezuela's official Cancilleria Digital online tourist-visa process before travel. A United Arab Emirates ordinary passport holder should arrange a Venezuelan visa before travel; Venezuela does not offer a reliable visa-on-arrival route for UAE tourists. The checked official MPPRE pages point travelers to the Cancilleria Digital system and list a tourist-visa process for foreign nationals visiting for recreation, health, or other non-remunerated activities. The June 2026 tourist-visa manual says applicants create the request online, register the tourist-visa procedure, attach the required documents, complete and emit the request, then receive the approved electronically signed document. The manual lists the core uploads as a white-background passport-style photo, a passport valid for at least six months, the visa application form, and a request letter; the general MPPRE tourist-requirements page also lists supporting items such as residence proof, bank and employment letters, outbound/return ticket, medical certificate, hotel booking or notarized invitation, and proof of any applicable consular fee. MPPRE says the approved document is issued in about 72 hours. The checked official sources do not publish a fixed USD 180 tourist eVisa fee or a universal UAE-specific validity/entries rule, so applicants should follow the amount and visa terms shown by the official portal or Venezuelan mission.

The UAE is not on Venezuela's list of visa-exempt nationalities, so Emirati travelers must obtain a visa in advance.
High
/02
No visa on arrival
Venezuela does not offer visa-on-arrival to UAE passport holders; entry without a pre-arranged visa will be refused.
High
/03
Incomplete or mismatched documents
Application details that do not exactly match the passport, or missing MPPRE-listed documents, can delay or derail the request.
Medium
/04
Insufficient proof of funds or onward travel

Medium
/05
Fee and visa terms are portal-specific
