The embassy and its staff
The embassy is currently led by Gustavo Rafael Villarroel Valdez as Chargé d’affaires ad interim since September 2026; no ambassador is listed at the moment. From Vienna, the embassy is also responsible for Slovenia, Slovakia and Croatia. Separate from the embassy, Venezuela keeps a permanent mission to the United Nations and other international organisations in Vienna; those missions do not handle consular matters for the public.
Consular services
Typical consular services include:
- Powers of attorney and other notarial acts
- Citizenship and residence register matters
Ask the embassy about fees and processing times before you apply – they are not listed by the Austrian Foreign Ministry.
Travelling from Austria to Venezuela
The Austrian Foreign Ministry applies regional security warnings for parts of Venezuela, up to a travel warning (level 4 of 4). Check the current travel advice before you go.
Documents checklist
Prepare these documents before your appointment. The lists are taken from official Venezuelan sources:
Extending a Venezuelan passport abroad (prórroga)

- 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
