Does anyone know if a Dominican citizen needs a transit visa for Venezuela if the citizen is changing planes and having a 2 hour layover in Venezuela?
I asked the Venezuelan consulate in NY and they said a transit visa would be necessary. My girlfriend called the Venezuelan embassy in Santo Domingo and they said the transit visa would not be necessary if she is there for less than 8 hours.
Does anyone have 1st hand experience or know the answer to this?
Thanks.
They need a transit visa good for 72 hours, twice if they have to connect in Venezuela on the return trip, which seems to be the case, and it is US$30.

The process: For transit visa
* A ticket confirming that you will be continuing to a third country. You must also supply the following information and requirements:
* Application form filled out in print letters.
Please do not use P.O. Box as
address or application will not be processed
* Name of airline carrier
* Flight number
* Date that you will be entering to and departing from Venezuela
* Name of entry and departing Venezuelan port or airport
* Two (02) photographs (2''x2'')
* A money order or company check for $30.00 in the name of Consulate of Venezuela (Consular fee)
Note: Your passport must have at least 6 months of validity left at the time of your request for all visas.
IT TAKES FIVE (05) WORKING DAYS TO PROCESS A VISA. NO EXCEPTIONS.
It is evident they require a visa if they are not eligible to enter without one . Hopefully there is a consulate in SD.
