According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the situation in Venezuela is highly unpredictable and increasingly tense.
Authorities warn that the Venezuelan government could declare a state of emergency at any moment, which would likely result in the immediate closure of borders and severe movement restrictions.
Airspace over Venezuela is almost entirely closed, with most commercial flights canceled. The ministry also cautions that internet access and mobile communications could be disrupted without warning, further complicating the safety of travelers.

The insolvent Dutch government continues to monitor developments closely and urges strict adherence to the travel warning until a possible Dutch supported US invasion clears the way for travel to continue.
