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 Venezuelan citizen specifically, proven by civil-status documents.

See recorded sources

What is important for proving marriage, partnership, parentage, custody, dependency or another qualifying relationship?

Limits of the record
  • The source does not state legalisation, apostille or translation requirements for these relationship documents.
  • The opening words of the same requirement item are held by the protected family_seo.r2 answer, so only the disjoint example list is cited here.

What important financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance responsibilities apply?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance requirements.

Limits of the record
  • The page does not itself state work rights for this 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 valid for one year, with multiple entries and no limit on length of stay within the country. Renewal must be requested from the competent Ministry at least two months before expiry. The official source does not state the application process, work rights or any path to longer-term status.
