PASSPORT AND VISA

Like all travelers, every participant must be in the possession of the appropriate documentation prior to departure. A valid U.S. Passport to enter Venezuela and re-enter the United States is required. Participants should be certain that their passports are valid for 6 months after the scheduled return to the U.S. Passports can take as long as 6-12 weeks to process, it is wise to begin the application or renewal process early. Please note: Non-U.S. citizens are required to contact the Venezuelan consulate of their jurisdiction for proper information concerning specific entry requirements. US citizens staying in Venezuela over 90 consecutive days are required to have a student visa.

VENUSA will provide each student the information required to apply for a student visa.
