The Administrative Service for Identification, Migration and Immigration (SAIME) of Venezuela announced that it has opened the process for issuing identity cards to people over 18 who have not yet obtained one.

Regarding this, the authorities indicated that citizens must go to the SAIME offices with their original birth certificate; a copy of the parents’ identity cards will be accepted as optional documentation.

The person applying for the identity card must “obtain the card at the same office where they initiated the application process, therefore they must provide an updated email address and phone number.”

On its Instagram account, the agency indicated that “when starting the process to obtain an identity card for the first time, the person will be interviewed by a National Electoral Council supervisor.”

On the other hand, the process for issuing identity cards to elderly residents of nursing homes throughout the country was announced as part of its José Gregorio Hernández Program.

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.

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.
