When to schedule

Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Venezuela Time and China Standard Time don't overlap on the same weekday. China Standard Time is 12 hours ahead of Venezuela Time.

With some flexibility, there are two workable windows outside standard hours, depending on which side takes the early or late slot:

  • 7 AM–8 AM in Venezuela Time (7 PM–8 PM in China Standard Time) — suggest 7:00 AM Venezuela Time (7:00 PM China Standard Time).
  • 7 PM–8 PM in Venezuela Time (7 AM–8 AM the next day in China Standard Time) — suggest 7:00 PM Venezuela Time (7:00 AM China Standard Time).

Either is an early start or late finish for one side, but workable for a one-off meeting.

Public holidays in 2026

National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
