Egypt to Venezuela visa requirements
No. Egyptian ordinary passport holders need a visa before traveling to Venezuela. There is no visa-free entry and no visa-on-arrival. You must apply for a tourist visa in advance at the Venezuelan Embassy in Cairo. As of 2026, Egypt is not on Venezuela's list of visa-exempt or visa-on-arrival nationalities, so Egyptian ordinary passport holders must secure a visa before departure. The standard route for tourism is a consular tourist visa obtained at the Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in Cairo. The tourist visa is typically valid for one year, allows multiple entries, and permits stays of up to 90 days per visit (extendable by up to a further 90 days at the discretion of Venezuela's interior ministry). The consular fee is around USD 40, with processing generally taking 10-15 working days after documents are submitted. Applicants must show a passport valid at least six months, onward/return tickets, proof of funds, accommodation, and (commonly requested) travel health insurance. Venezuela is in South America and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers should also note that Venezuela carries elevated security and consular-access advisories from many governments; confirm current entry rules directly with the Venezuelan embassy before booking, as Venezuela has at times altered entry policy on short notice. Because no reliable visa-free or arrival channel is documented, the conservative and correct verdict is visa-required.
