Venezuelans in Spain

Venezuelans in Spain (Spanish: Venezolanos in España) form the third largest immigrant groups in Spain, which is also the European country to which most Venezuelans choose to migrate because of shared language, customs and family ties.

Venezuelan immigration to Spain increased as a result of the country's ongoing political crisis.

In 2021, Venezuela constituted the third-largest source of migration to Spain after Morocco and Colombia.
