Assessments of Venezuela range from level 2 to level 4, a spread of two levels. Five of the twelve governments take the strictest view and Germany and France the most relaxed, with the largest group at level 3. A gap this size usually means the risk is concentrated in particular areas rather than spread evenly across the country.
Currency varies between sources. New Zealand's is the oldest assessment of Venezuela on file, last revised in November 2024, while the rest have been reviewed more recently.
The warnings for Venezuela are not uniform across the country. 17 distinct areas are singled out by at least one government. Among them: Border areas and Delta Amacuro. At least one of these carries the highest possible rating, meaning a government advising against all travel there while rating the rest of the country lower.
Five of the twelve governments currently advise against all travel, and that has consequences beyond the wording: most policies void cover for travel taken against your own government's advice, and consular assistance may be limited or unavailable on the ground.
