Poland to Venezuela visa requirements

No visa needed. Polish ordinary passport holders enter Venezuela visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days, receiving a free DEX-2 tourist card on the aircraft/at arrival. Polish citizens holding an ordinary passport do not need a visa for short tourist visits to Venezuela. On the inbound flight (or at the port of entry) travelers are issued a complimentary DEX-2 tourist card that authorizes a stay of up to 90 days. This is confirmed by the Embassy of Venezuela in Poland, Polish government travel guidance, and standard IATA-based visa references. The tourist card is single-entry and the 90 days cannot be extended at the border; travelers needing multiple entries, longer stays, or renewals should instead obtain a Type T tourist visa from the Venezuelan consular section (valid one year, multiple entries, ~USD 30 fee). At entry, immigration practice expects a passport valid at least six months beyond departure, proof of onward/return travel, evidence of sufficient funds, and travel/health insurance is strongly recommended. Note that Venezuela is NOT in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route; the 90-day allowance is set under Venezuelan immigration rules. Travelers should also check current security advisories, as several governments maintain elevated travel warnings for Venezuela.
