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

Entry is visa-free on a 'tourist card', issued on arrival. You must show a return or onward travel ticket. Extensions of up to 90 days can be arranged at any SAIME (immigration service) for a fee and must apply before one's tourist card and stamp expire. One can only apply for or extend their (residency permit) at the main SAIME office in Caracas.

For short business visits like meetings or conferences, United Kingdom 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.
