La entrada Saime published updated prices for Venezuelan passports in bolivars apareció primero en Bitfinance.

The Minister of the Interior of Venezuela, Remigio Ceballos, recently indicated that the value of the passport is anchored to the value of the official dollar, published by the Central Bank, at the time of the procedure.

Previously, the document had an approximate value of $216, depending on the parity of the petro, the local cryptocurrency, with respect to the dollar. However, given the announcement by the Venezuelan presidency regarding the petro, bitcoin and dash wallets about their transfer to the Patria platform, from now on the passport will simply have its value in dollars.

According to Ceballos, this represents a reduction in the cost of the passport, which goes from $216 to $200, although as the daily currency exchange rate changes, the price of the document will increase.

The Saime (Administrative Service for Identification, Migration and Immigration) is the government entity to which Venezuelan citizens must go to obtain and renew identity documents, passports, among others.

In addition to the announcement made by Ceballos, Saime indicated that it will make the necessary adjustments so that Venezuelans can obtain and renew their passport normally, under the new government guidelines.

The equivalent in bolivars, the national currency, according to the current parity of the dollar, would be about 7,000 bolivars, unlike the 7,880 that was paid with the petro system.

La entrada Venezuelan passport will have a new price anchored to the dollar apareció primero en Bitfinance.

The UK Government has announced the launch of a new electronic authorization for visa-free travelers and for Europeans, called Electronic Travel Authorization UK (ETA UK), with the aim of improving British border control and fully digitizing border systems by 2025.

As explained in a statement, the ETA system will be introduced at the beginning of 2023 and will be fully operational by the end of this year. The ETA system will screen visitors before they arrive in the UK and travelers will provide basic personal details, passport details and certain security information by completing an online ETA application form.

According to the Government, this measure will provide “more accurate” information on the number of people traveling to the United Kingdom and the countries of origin, in addition to making the country “an even safer destination” by being able to detect threats much earlier.

The British Home Secretary, Priti Patel, has explained that the ETA UK is not a visa and that Europeans and travelers from countries like the United States and Canada will maintain their visa exemption, but “will need an ETA to cross the border of the United Kingdom”.

The validity period of the UK ETA has not yet been announced, but the British government has stated that it is based on the US ESTA system, so it is likely that it “will be valid for at least two years and for multiple trips to Britain”. Currently, most visa-exempt visitors can stay in the UK for a maximum of six months.

Arab countries will be the first to benefit

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) passport holders will be the first nationalities to benefit from the new UK visa waiver system, once it comes into effect in 2023.

Thus, the ETA UK The ETA will first be extended to the citizens of these countries: United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain.
