• If you do not have a vaccination certificate, you must present a negative result of a molecular PCR-RT test, with a maximum validity of 72 hours.
After completing the steps, the system will notify the user of the success of the operation, through a message.
Finally, to obtain the Biosafety Travel Pass, one must wait a maximum of 72 hours, during which time an electronic receipt in PDF format will arrive by email.
The email will include the electronic receipt with a QR code, the mandatory requirement that must be presented to the airline to enter Venezuela.
