US State Department warns on Venezuela
28 June 2007
Compliance officers traveling in Latin America please note that the US State Department has issued a Travel Warning for the period 26 June to 19 July for Venezuela. The Copa America (Cup America) football tournament has complicated Venezuela's already dangerous security situation (violent crime & high murder rate), because there may be changes in official entry requirements. One does not want to be refused entry upon arrival in the country.
You are advised to check with Venezuelan authorities immediately before scheduling any trip to Venezuela. The problem is that there have been conflicting statements regarding the requirement for visitors to present proof of vaccination against Yellow Fever and German Measles. One agency says it is mandatory, and another says optional.
You are advised to check these websites before departure, unless you are one of those few people who still carry around a personal immunisation record:
