“According to article 7 of the Law on Nationality and Citizenship, Venezuelans who have another nationality must use Venezuelan nationality to enter, stay and leave the territory of the Republic,” Vizcaíno said on Instagram.
Vizcaíno assured that the person is obliged to have a valid Venezuelan passport if they wish to leave or enter Venezuelan territory.

passport price
The price of the Petro crypto asset registered an increase on Tuesday, February 15, and stood at 57.03 dollars, which had a direct impact on the value of the issuance of the new passport and the extension.
The Administrative Service of Identification, Migration and Immigration indicates that the cost of the document is 3.6 petros, while for the extension users must pay 1.8 petros. Since 2018, in the midst of the highest points of the economic crisis and in an attempt to displace the dollar, the authorities began to anchor the prices of this type of procedure to the value of the petro.
So, with the increase of the cryptoactive controlled by the national government, Saime users must pay 205.30 dollars for the issuance of the passport and for the extension they have to pay 102.65 dollars.
Each dollar valued in the Central Bank of Venezuela, this Friday, February 18 in the morning, at 4.40 bolívares, so the payment for the issuance of the passport was around 903 bolívares and for the extension it was located in little more of the 451 bolivars.
