According to the US Department of State, approximately 12,000 US tourists visit Venezuela each year. Although relations between the two countries are somewhat tense, Americans are still drawn to Venezuela’s beaches, rainforests and cities.

To travel to Venezuela, American citizens need a US passport that has at least 6 months left before it expires, and a Venezuelan visa or tourist card.  Tourists traveling to Venezuela by air and staying less than 90 days can obtain a tourist card upon arrival .

However, if you are traveling to Venezuela by private transportation or entering the country via a land border crossing, you need to get a Venezuelan visa ahead of time. Here are the requirements for Venezuelan tourist visa:

• 1 Venezuelan visa application form
• 2  passport-sized photos
• A  copy of your plane tickets or an itinerary showing when and where you plan to enter and exit the country.
• A letter from your employer. The letter must state how long you have been employed with the company, your position and your salary.
• If you are unemployed, you can  submit a bank  statement instead.
• A reference letter from your bank-ask for a visa letter and they should be  able to prepare something suitable.
