Visa requirements for Venezuelan citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Venezuela.
As of 2026, Venezuelan citizens have visa-free or visa on arrival access to 116 countries and territories, ranking the Venezuelan passport 43rd in the world according to the Henley Passport Index.
Citizens of Venezuela do not need to use a passport when traveling to Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia as they may use their ID card. Moreover, Venezuelans may also travel to the United States, Canada, Spain and several Latin American countries using expired passports.
Since 2017, 24 countries in Latin America and Caribbean (El Salvador, Paraguay, Panama, Honduras, Guatemala, Saint Lucia, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Sint Maarten, Sint Eustatius, Saba, Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize, Nicaragua, Suriname and Cayman Islands) have stopped providing visa-free access to Venezuelans following the ongoing refugee crisis and reinstated visa requirements for those seeking to enter these countries.
Some countries will still allow Venezuelans to enter visa-free if holding a valid visa / residence permit from a particular third country, such as Canada, the Schengen Area, Japan or the United States; and in the case of Mexico offers visa-free if holding a residence from a country of the Pacific Alliance (Chile, Colombia and Peru). Venezuela can enter Mexico without visa if they hold invitation up to 180 days
