What Venezuelan citizens usually need to bring for the most common requests, based on official Venezuelan government information:
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

Requirements and fees can change and individual posts may ask for more – confirm the current list with the embassy before your visit.
Do Venezuelan citizens need a visa for Guatemala?
Yes. According to the country classification of Guatemala’s Migration Institute (IGM), Venezuela is in category C (consulted visa): the Migration Institute must authorise each visa before a Guatemalan mission can issue it. Under Article 29 of the IGM visa regulation, nationals holding a valid visa of the United States, Mexico, Canada or the Schengen area are treated as category B.
