Frequently Asked Questions about DST in Venezuela
Does Venezuela observe Daylight Saving Time?
No, Venezuela does not observe Daylight Saving Time. Clocks stay on the same time year-round. Several countries near the equator and in low-latitude regions skip DST because daylight hours change little across seasons.
What time zone is Venezuela on after DST ends?
