How to get asylum in Venezuela
To apply for asylum in Venezuela, you can get it at the border, airport, or a local migration agency. First, you can contact:
National Commission for Refugees (CONARE) in Caracas, Guasdualito, San Cristóbal, Maracaibo, or Ciudad Guayana, and submit your request.
Also, you can reach out to organizations like the Ombudsman, UNHCR, HIAS, RET, NRC, or SJR for help with the process.

The next step is waiting for an answer.
Mgbe CONARE gets your application, they must give you a temporary document that says you are trying to become a refugee. This paper lets you stay in Venezuela legally until CONARE makes a decision about whether or not to recognize your position as a refugee.
Recognition of refugee status
If CONARE agrees that you are a refugee, you will get authorization that gives you the same rights as other outsiders in Venezuela. This document will let you work and move around anywhere in the country.

If your application for refugee status is denied, you have 15 days to appeal to CONARE; if you do, your provisional document will be extended until the appeal is resolved.
