Venezuela
Entry Requirements
Recommended Route
There are two important routes that can help you make your travel experience easier. Flying with Iberia, Caracas-Madrid, and connecting Madrid with Iasi in a 4 hours flight. The second option, and the best one from our point of view, is flying with Turkish Airlines, Caracas-Estambul, and connecting Istanbul with Iasi with Wizz Air, in an hour flight.
In theory, there are no travel restrictions in place for Venezuelans travelling to Romania. However, it is recommended to follow basic recommendations such as:
-
Up to date passport with more than 3 months away from the expiry date
-
Show a return or onward ticket
-
Prove you have enough money for your stay
-
Keep at hand the documents with the details of the accommodation booking
-
Ensure your passport is stamped at entry and exit.
These requirements have been already discussed with the Consular Representation of Venezuela in Bucharest, there was only one additional recommendation which was an invitation letter (not mandatory)
