Venezuela in brief
Venezuela has the lowest rule-of-law score in this set and a high seismic risk. On the World Bank scale from −2.5 to +2.5, rule of law stands at −2.20, political stability at −1.74, control of corruption at −1.59 and government effectiveness at −1.47. Life expectancy is 72.67 years, health spending 185.99 dollars per person per year, basic access to water reaches 93.33 per cent of the population, and mean PM2.5 concentration is 19.2 micrograms per cubic metre. Homicides run at 13.81 per 100,000 and road deaths at 13.2 per 100,000. Overall natural risk is 5.9 out of 10 on INFORM, and it is varied: earthquakes at 8.1 are among the highest figures in this set, coastal risks 6.7, floods 5.7, cyclones 5.6, tsunami 5.4, while droughts sit at just 1.9. The immigration system is split between two authorities: the visa is issued by a consulate abroad, while status inside the country is administered by SAIME. Statuses divide into transients, carrying letter codes by ground of stay — work, private income, family, study, religion — and residents. The work category is arranged so that the work authorisation is issued by the labour ministry rather than the migration service. The private-income category names an income threshold: the equivalent of 1,200 US dollars a month. The family category is unusually broad: the status covers a spouse, minor children, parents and parents-in-law. What this data does not contain, and why: neither SAIME nor the foreign ministry publishes statutory processing times or fees — the ministry's visa page refers applicants to the specific consulate for the fee. The qualifying period for permanent status is set by the Aliens and Migration Act, whose text is on no accessible official platform, so the number of years is left empty even though permanent status itself exists. The population of Caracas is not given: the official statistics institute does not respond from the checking machine, and the capital district cannot be mixed with an agglomeration spanning two federal subjects.
