Venezuela’s Saime immigration authority has clarified that returning citizens who left the country without a passport exit stamp will be required to pay a fee. This charge is not a penalty, but rather a payment for an evaded administrative tariff incurred when initially departing. The fee covers administrative costs associated with the missing exit stamp. Saime emphasizes the payment rectifies a previously unfulfilled obligation. The announcement aims to clarify confusion surrounding the requirement for those seeking to re-enter Venezuela. This applies to Venezuelans who exited without the necessary passport documentation. Further details regarding the fee amount and payment process were not immediately available.
