Venezuela Rolls Out New PRO-V-90 Visa for Foreign Professionals

Venezuela has launched a new visa program for foreign professionals, aimed at supporting companies with clients in the country. The PRO-V-90 visa allows stays of up to 90 days and can be used by professionals working without a Venezuelan employer or those invited by a Venezuelan company to provide specialized services.

The visa is intended for activities including technical assistance, operational support, speaking engagements, journalistic work, and investment oversight, among other eligible services. Applicants must not have an employment relationship with the Venezuelan company inviting them and cannot receive employment-related compensation or remuneration from the Venezuelan entity.

Foreign nationals can apply for the PRO-V-90 online through Cancillería Digital, with processing taking around two to 10 business days. Once approved, applicants receive their permission via email, eliminating the need for a physical visa stamp.
