Is this aimed at retirees, pensioners, financially independent people, passive-income holders or another profile?

The route is for non-migrant persons who live from lawful rents or a pension, with the income generated outside Venezuela.

See recorded sources
  • MPPRE page 20, captured official text
    Se otorgará a personas no migrantes, que vivan de sus rentas lícitas o pensión, con ingreso mensual equivalente a mil doscientos dólares (USD$ 1.200,00) , generados en el exterior.

Which types of income/assets are accepted according to the official source?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm which types of income or assets are accepted.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (NAO_SUSTENTA: Source says 'rentas lícitas' (lawful income/revenues), not 'rental income'; translating it as rental income narrows which money counts, which is exactly this question.)

What income, savings or financial-resources threshold applies and how does family affect it where officially specified?

A pension (shown by an original Social Security certificate stating the amount) or other periodic income equal to or greater than the equivalent of 1200 US dollars per month. When accompanied by family members, the MPPRE page requires additional fixed monthly income of USD 500 for each accompanying person, while the Barcelona consulate page states 50% for each accompanying person.

Limits of the record
  • The two official sources conflict on the extra income per accompanying family member: USD 500 (MPPRE) versus 50% (Barcelona consulate).

Can the holder work locally, run a business or perform other economic activity? What is the family position?

When the holder travels accompanied by family members, documents proving the family links are required. The official source does not state whether the holder may work locally, run a business or carry out other economic activity, or the residence or work rights of accompanying family members.
