Philippines to Venezuela visa requirements

Philippine ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Venezuela for tourism. The fastest route is Venezuela's electronic visa (eVisa), applied for online through the official Foreign Ministry portal before you travel. There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel for Filipinos. Venezuela is not a visa-free or visa-on-arrival destination for ordinary Philippine passport holders, and it is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. As of mid-2026, Venezuela operates an electronic visa (eVisa) system run by the Ministry of Popular Power for Foreign Affairs (MPPRE) through the cancilleriadigital.mppre.gob.ve portal, which replaced in-person consular interviews for tourist and business travelers. Filipino tourists must apply online, upload the required documents, pay the fee, and receive an electronic visa by email, which must be printed and presented at the border. The tourist visa is issued as a multiple-entry visa valid for one year and permits stays of up to 90 days per visit. Reported government fees rose to about USD 180 in 2026 (from USD 60 previously), with official processing of approximately 15 days. Travelers must hold a passport valid for at least six months, proof of onward or return travel, and evidence of sufficient funds. Note that several governments maintain elevated travel advisories for Venezuela, so verify conditions and confirm the latest visa rules with the Venezuelan Embassy in Manila before booking. Because no no-visa channel exists for Philippine ordinary passports, the conservative and correct verdict is eVisa (a visa is required, obtainable electronically).
