About VET
VET (Venezuela Time) is the official time zone of Venezuela. The time zone offset of VET is UTC−04:00, which means it is 4 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Venezuela uses a single time zone across the entire country.
Venezuela Time does not observe daylight saving time, so the offset remains the same throughout the year. The country briefly used UTC−04:30 between 2007 and 2016 before returning to UTC−04:00, which continues to be the official standard time today.
VET is used in major Venezuelan cities such as Caracas, Maracaibo, Valencia, Barquisimeto, Maracay, and Ciudad Guayana. The consistent time standard helps maintain uniform schedules for business, transportation, government services, and daily activities throughout the country.
