New Zealand passport holders can typically stay in Venezuela for 90 days under the standard entry rules. Longer stays require a separate long-term visa.

The New Zealand government advises its citizens not to travel to Venezuela due to the unstable political and economic situation , ongoing high levels of violent crime, the potential for violent civil unrest, and shortages of food, medicine and other basic supplies.

For short business visits like meetings or conferences, New Zealand citizens typically enter Venezuela under the same rules as tourists. For paid work, long assignments, or activities beyond what a tourist visa allows, a dedicated business or work visa is required. Confirm specifics with the Venezuela embassy or consulate.
