Intro

Backpacking or traveling in Venezuela?

  • Venezuela is a country of spectacular natural beauty, but because of the current political and economic situation, travel in Venezuela is also fraught with risk. There is also a lack of basic amenities. Backpackers and travelers should be well prepared and be extra cautious about their safety. In particular, travel on the western borders is not recommended.  
  • Activity spotting: Angel Falls (highest waterfall in the world); Gran Sabana plateau; the beaches of Los Roques; spot animals in the Amazon; explore Caracas; lounge on the crisp blue beaches; climb Mount Roraima; see the drowned church of Potosi; visit the sinkholes of Sarisarinama.

Study in Venezuela?

  • Venezuela has several universities, including the Universidad Central de Venezuela (UCV) in Caracas, which is known for its academic traditions. However, the quality of education has deteriorated in recent years due to economic problems and political instability.
  • Popular studies include engineering, tech, sociology, IT, computer science, business administration, etc. 
  • Study cities: Caracas, Maracaibo. 
  • Language: Spanish. 

Internship in Venezuela?

  • Internship opportunities are limited, but there are opportunities in sectors such as oil and gas industry, NGOs, and international organizations. Because of the economic situation, it can be challenging to find a paid internship.
  • Competencies: by interning in Venezuela, you can gain valuable experience in crisis management, resilience, and intercultural communication. The country offers unique learning opportunities for those interested in development work or humanitarian aid.

Volunteer in Venezuela?

  • Volunteering is possible in health care, education, humanitarian aid, and environmental management. NGOs and international aid organizations are active in Venezuela and offer volunteer opportunities.

Working in Venezuela?

  • English teachers are in demand in Venezuela! Furthermore, most foreigners come to Venezuela through a job from a foreign company or organization.
  • Just be careful where you will be working, not all areas are safe for expats.  

Working as a digital nomad in Venezuela?

  • Venezuela is not a popular country for digital nomads. The country is very poor, which also means that facilities are not good and there are frequent power and water outages. Nor is it safe. 
  • On the other hand, the country has beautiful nature and the people are very friendly. 
  • Favorite location: Caracas. 

Living in Venezuela?

  • Life in Venezuela is currently characterized by economic hardship, high inflation, and shortages of basic services such as food, medicine, and fuel. Social life is greatly affected by these conditions.
  • Crime is a major problem in Venezuela, especially in urban areas such as Caracas. It is important to take security measures and live in secure areas.
  • There are still active expat communities, although many expats have left the country because of the difficult conditions.
  • Health insurance: health care is not like in the West. The best care is found at private institutions. so do make sure you have your own well-covered health insurance.

Welk visum regelen voor een reis naar of werk in Venezuela?

Image

Er is geen toeristenvisum nodig voor een verblijf tot 90 dagen. Na deze 90 dagen kun je in Venezuela een verlenging aanvragen (tegen betaling) of het land in en uit reizen en opnieuw een stempel krijgen voor 90 dagen bij het passeren van de grens (gratis). Officieel is een return ticket verplicht, de douane checkt dit echter bijna nooit.
