Türkiye to Venezuela visa requirements

Turkish ordinary passport holders can enter Venezuela visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days. No visa or eVisa is required before travel. Turkey (TR) and Venezuela (VE) maintain a mutual visa-exemption arrangement for ordinary passport holders. As of 2026-06-01, a Turkish citizen holding an ordinary passport may travel to Venezuela for tourism or a short visit without obtaining a visa in advance and stay for up to 90 days, with the possibility of one extension for a further period through the Venezuelan migration authority (SAIME). On arrival, travelers receive an entry stamp. The passport should generally be valid for at least six months, and immigration officers may ask for proof of onward or return travel and evidence of sufficient funds. Venezuela is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. No eVisa, ETA or visa-on-arrival fee is involved for tourist entry under this exemption. Travelers should note that Venezuela has standing travel advisories from many governments due to security, health and infrastructure conditions; the visa-free status is unaffected, but practical travel risks remain.
