About the mission
About the Venezuelan Embassy in Ottawa
The Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in Ottawa is Venezuela’s resident diplomatic mission in Canada.
The Embassy represents Venezuela in its official relations with Canada and also serves as the country’s principal consular representation in Canada.
Venezuela announced in 2019 that consular services at its Consulates General in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal would cease temporarily and that their functions in Canada would be concentrated at the Embassy in Ottawa.
Applicants elsewhere in Canada should therefore check directly with the Ottawa Embassy for the current arrangements before beginning a consular procedure.

Venezuelan travel documents
Venezuelan Passport Services
Passport applications for Venezuelan citizens abroad begin through Venezuela’s official SAIME system.
For an adult passport application, the Venezuelan consular authorities currently instruct applicants to enter the SAIME portal, request an appointment at the diplomatic mission in their country of residence and attend the mission after receiving confirmation from the system.
Applicants are instructed to bring copies of their Venezuelan identity card and the biographical page of their passport.
The current central consular guidance lists a consular fee of USD 120 for the adult passport issuance procedure. Applicants should verify the applicable fee and payment arrangements before their appointment because consular charges can change.
Start with SAIME: Do not travel to the Embassy solely to begin a passport application. Complete the applicable SAIME process and wait for the required appointment instructions first.
Travel to Venezuela
Venezuelan Visa Services
Venezuela maintains several visa categories for foreign nationals who require authorization before travelling.
The Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Affairs currently lists visa categories including tourist, transit, student, work, religious, family reunification, business, investor and other temporary-entry classifications.
The documentation required depends on the visa category and the applicant’s circumstances.
For example, Venezuela’s current transit-visa guidance requires a passport valid for at least six months, photographs, travel itinerary, a medical certificate and evidence of payment of the applicable consular fee.
Check your visa requirement first: Visa requirements depend on nationality, travel document and purpose of travel. Contact the Embassy or consult current official Venezuelan guidance before submitting an application.
