This is welcome news for Spanish companies with clients, projects or investments in Venezuela, which until now have faced lengthy consular procedures even for assignments lasting only a few days or weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The new visa can be applied for entirely online, allows multiple entries and authorizes stays of up to 90 consecutive days. However, this faster process comes with strict conditions: an incorrectly structured application may result in delays, refusal or difficulties at border control.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Country Back on the Business Agenda<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An increasing number of companies are resuming or expanding their activities in Venezuela, including machinery and facilities maintenance, equipment installation and commissioning, training of local staff, audits and investment monitoring. All these activities have one thing in common: they require companies to send personnel to the country, often at short notice and on a recurring basis.<\/p>\n<p>Until now, the usual route was a business or work visa, involving consular procedures that could take several weeks depending on the time of year and the workload of the relevant consular offices. The <strong>PRO-V-90<\/strong> has been introduced specifically to address this need: short-term, streamlined and recurring professional assignments.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Is the PRO-V-90 Visa?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is an electronic authorization for foreign professionals \u2014 including Spanish professionals \u2014 travelling to Venezuela at the invitation of a local company to provide a specific service. Its main features are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>100% online application<\/strong>, with no need to visit a consulate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Multiple entries<\/strong>, allowing professionals to enter and leave the country according to project requirements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stays of up to 90 consecutive days<\/strong> in Venezuela.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fast processing<\/strong> when the application is properly prepared.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who Is It For?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The PRO-V-90 is intended for short-term professional activities, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Technicians installing, repairing or commissioning equipment and machinery.<\/li>\n<li>Consultants and trainers supporting a Venezuelan client or subsidiary.<\/li>\n<li>Auditors and finance professionals supervising investments in the country.<\/li>\n<li>Executives and speakers attending conferences, meetings or professional events.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Conditions That Must Not Be Overlooked<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While the new visa process is designed to be agile, it comes with fine print. Therefore, to ensure the application is successful, and to prevent any issues from arising later, it is essential to carefully analyze various aspects beforehand, such as the initial invitation, the employment relationship, the contract, and the remuneration\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beyond the Visa: What Else Should Companies Review?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Obtaining authorization to enter the country is only one part of an international assignment.
