When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Venezuela Time and Japan Standard Time don't overlap on the same weekday. Japan Standard Time is 13 hours ahead of Venezuela Time.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 6 PM–8 PM in Venezuela Time (7 AM–9 AM the next day in Japan Standard Time) — suggest 7:00 PM Venezuela Time (8:00 AM Japan Standard Time).
This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot 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.
