Venezuela visa for Canadian citizens

For Canadian citizens planning a trip to Venezuela, the e-visa system streamlines your application, offering options for tourist, transit, or business visits among five available categories. Despite the technical availability of this visa, navigating the journey often involves multiple layovers, typically through hubs like Panama City or Bogotá, given the absence of direct commercial flights from major Canadian cities to Caracas due to ongoing travel advisories. An approved tourist e-visa typically allows a stay of up to 90 days, though prospective visitors should budget around $70 USD for the application fee. Considering the significant time difference and the importance of checking local currency exchange rates upon arrival, travelers are strongly advised to consult Global Affairs Canada for the latest advisories before finalizing plans, as conditions can significantly impact the on-the-ground experience.
