Status as of October 3, 2026: no Venezuelan consulate in the US is open for services. Venezuela and the United States agreed on March 5, 2026 to re-establish diplomatic and consular relations (statements by Venezuela’s foreign ministry, MPPRE, and the US State Department). On September 12, 2026, Venezuela’s state broadcaster RNV reported that the New York consulate had been renovated but that the authorities had not yet issued an official statement setting a date for its opening to the public or enabling its appointment system, and MPPRE’s list of Venezuelan consulates worldwide, checked October 3, 2026, includes no office in the United States. Treat contact details as historical reference and confirm current availability through official Venezuelan government channels. See the 10-year passport validity rule and current routes.
Public directories historically list 5 Venezuelan consular offices across 4 US states and territories. Because of the disrupted diplomatic relationship, the current operating status of each office should be independently verified before you rely on it.
