Description
Here you can extend your Visa for 90 days. Here's a few things you need to know:
There is gonna be a huge queue, so come as early as possible. They won't let you in the queue after 10 AM. Dress appropriately: No shorts or flip flop. Wear long pants, shoes and t-shirt: take it serious, they are strict about it. Documents you need:
-Your Passaport
-A copy of the front page of your passport
-A copy of Venezuelan entry stamp
-A written letter with the reason why you want to extend your stay
-If you are travelling without vehicle, you need an exiting flight ticket
-if you are travelling with a vehicle, you need a copy of the document of the vehicle, and a copy of your license.
You must pay ONLY by Card, they won't accept cash.
The price is 60$ p/p.
You are also not allowed to use phone inside the office, if they see you using it, they might kick you out.
The whole process took us around 2 hours. The longest part is the queue, because once you are there, it only takes 30 minutes.
Just be patient, relax and enjoy Venezuela.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
Sadly, for US Passport holders you cannot extend your visa here. I went and tried and they cannot do it for the Visa we get in our passport, you can only apply for a new visa in Mexico, Panama, or Cucuta consulates. They can only extend the time on the entry stamp but not on the Visa, so whatever the end date of your Visa, is the date by which you need to leave.
I can confirm though to get there 6am or before. I arrived around 6:20am and there were already about 80 people in line. You basically wait outside in an informal line until about 8-8:30am until they start opening up and then one by one put you into a separate line based on the reason for your visit. Once they start this process it was pretty quick. The are very organized about the lines they put you into. For most of the wait you are outside the building and can use your cellphone. The signal is totally fine, you can watch videos or whatever. It's only when you go inside the building that you can't use your phone and that line went very quickly. I was being helped within 30-45mins. They were all very nice.
