Do Venezuelan citizens need a visa for Serbia?

Documents checklist

Prepare these documents before your appointment. The lists are taken from official Venezuelan sources:

Extending a Venezuelan passport abroad (prórroga)

• Start the request online on the SAIME portal (saime.gob.ve), choose “Obtención de prórroga de pasaporte en el extranjero” and the consulate where you will collect it
• Pay the SAIME fee online (US$100 by international card, according to several embassies) – the consulate also charges a consular fee (minors under 18 are exempt)
• Only biometric passports (with chip) in good condition with at least two free sheets can be extended
• Bring the passport to the consulate, where the printed extension is stamped in
• Minors: birth certificate; naturalised citizens: the Gaceta Oficial

If a state holiday falls on a Sunday, the next working day is off. In 2027 Orthodox Easter falls on 2 May, which is also the second day of Labour Day, so offices close from 30 April to 4 May 2027.
