A new measure that prevents the entry into Venezuela of citizens with an expired passport was announced by the Government of the Latin American country.

According to a statement, Venezuelan citizens who must enter the country by air must have a valid passport. The restriction applies to people with dual nationality, since the validity of the document authorized for the other country will not be considered.

Latam Colombia informed its clients about the new regulation, which affects dozens of Venezuelans from different countries. According to a statement on their X account, “in case they do not have a valid Venezuelan passport, (Venezuelan nationals) must request a ‘Travel Document’ from the Venezuelan Consulate or Embassy accredited abroad and register it with the airline at least 72 hours before boarding.”

Venezuelan authorities also reported that boarding will not be permitted for “Venezuelans with a Venezuelan identity card, even if it is valid.”

The airline had to inform its Venezuelan passengers who had purchased tickets between September 27 and October 1 that they should consult the options for free exchange or refund in the My Trips section of Latam.com.

It is important to note that through its official website, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs published the requirements for adults and children that Venezuelans must complete in order to obtain a safe-conduct pass that allows them to enter the country, 72 hours before their flight.

The director of the Administrative Service for Identification, Migration and Immigration (Saime), Gustavo Vizcaíno, denied information spread through social networks of an alleged impediment to Venezuelans who wanted to enter the country with an expired passport.

Vizcaíno pointed out that the prohibition of citizens with expired passports from entering the country is false. In fact, he confirmed that compatriots can enter Venezuela with only their identity card.

This was stated this Tuesday by the director of Saime in an interview with Unión Radio, where he stressed that the requirement for safe conduct “is a unilateral measure requested by some airlines to issue air tickets, but which is not endorsed by the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.”

With his statements, Vizcaíno rendered invalid the information that circulated on the networks and generated confusion among citizens inside and outside the territory.
