Who may sponsor or bring the family member, and what immigration/citizenship status must that person hold?

The defining condition is the family relationship to a foreign national who already holds Permanent Migrant (Resident) status in Venezuela; not to a Venezuelan citizen.

  • The page does not itself state work rights or further status progression for this specific family category.

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

The visa is requested at a Venezuelan embassy or consulate general. The applicant presents the original and a copy of a passport valid for at least six months, two recent photos, a copy of the passport and visa of the relative who holds resident status in Venezuela, documents proving the family link with that resident foreign national (birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc.), a medical certificate issued by the health authority of the country of origin, and proof of payment of the consular fee. The official page for this visa states a validity of one year, multiple entries and no limit on stay in the country, with any extension to be requested from the Ministry of Popular Power for Interior Relations, Justice and Peace at least two months in advance; however, that sentence names the Venezuelan-family transient visa, so it is not confirmed that this duration applies to this visa. The official source does not state work rights or a route to independent or longer-term status.
