The U.S. State Department issued a warning on Saturday, urging American citizens to leave Venezuela immediately, highlighting the ongoing instability of the security situation in the country. The U.S. Embassy in Bogotá, Colombia, reiterated travel warnings issued since 2019, advising citizens not to travel to Venezuela. In the context of the resumption of international flights, American citizens in Venezuela are advised to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive security updates.
The warnings include risks such as armed militia groups controlling the roads, as well as issues related to electricity and public services. Venezuela has a travel advisory level of Level 4: Do Not Travel, due to serious risks, including illegal detentions, torture, terrorism, kidnappings, and crime. The State Department withdrew diplomatic personnel from Caracas in March 2019, and all consular services in Venezuela remain suspended, with the U.S. government unable to provide emergency assistance to American citizens in the country.
