Donald Trump’s decision to eliminate TPS for Venezuelan migrants was suspended this Monday by California Judge Edward M. Chen, providing temporary relief to the affected citizens.

As you may recall, President Trump ordered the end of Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans, generating various legal consequences. For now, Judge Chen’s ruling seeks to curb the impact on the lives of thousands of Venezuelan families.

The judge indicated that if the TPS revocation were implemented, it would cause “billions of dollars in economic losses in the United States and jeopardize public safety.”

According to Chen, “the government did not present evidence that maintaining TPS would cause significant harm, justifying its decision to preserve the program.”

The Immigration Authorities of the Central American country announced that starting next Monday, February 21, all Venezuelan citizens will have to present their tourist visa to be able to enter that country. The information was published in the Official Gazette.

According to the publication, all citizens from Venezuela will be able to process visas at the different Costa Rican consulates scattered throughout the world. The information also indicates that people who wish to enter the nation as tourists may only carry out “recreation or any other activities for leisure, business or professional purposes, as long as they are not activities that imply remuneration or profit within of the Costa Rican territory”.

The visas will be valid for 30 days, extendable to 90 days. The information also indicates that once the entry to Costa Rica is authorized with the tourist visa and once in the territory, they will be able to manage the change of category to migratory.

Regularization of Venezuelans migration

The situation is becoming more complicated every day for Venezuelans who want to leave the country, due to the serious economic crisis that they have suffered for several years. Furthermore, many countries in the region have increased entry requirements. A month ago, Mexico made the decision to request a visa from Venezuelans and now Costa Rica announces the same measure.

The Costa Rican Immigration Authorities argued that the decision is due to “changes in global migration policy that have caused differences in the mobility of these nationalities.” Raquel Vargas, General Director of Migration and Immigration of Costa Rica, explained that the country is taking measures to guarantee a safe and orderly migration for Venezuelans, which is why “Costa Rica must also make the decision to establish visas for Venezuelans, thus promoting orderly, safe and regular migration”.

According to official data, of the approximately five million Venezuelan citizens who have left the country, 400,000 are in Costa Rica, but not all of them have been regularized.
