The Venezuelan community in the United States has grown significantly in recent years, with large concentrations in Miami, Houston, New York, and other cities. Many families maintain contact with their loved ones in Venezuela and, although trips are less frequent due to the country's situation, they still occur.
If your child is traveling to Venezuela without both parents, you need a notarized travel authorization letter to comply with the requirements of Venezuela's Administrative Service for Identification, Migration and Immigration (SAIME).
