IMPACT – HIGH
What is the change? Venezuela will hold parliamentary elections Dec. 6, following which, possible changes to government posts may cause delays in processing.
What does the change mean? Applicants are encouraged to plan for longer timelines and, where possible, to file applications early so they may obtain necessary visas or permits before December.
Background: The election will determine seats in the National Assembly (Asamblea Nacional), a majority of which are currently occupied by President Nicolás Maduro’s United Socialist Party of Venezuela.
BAL Analysis: Employers are strongly encouraged to finalize all applications as early as possible.
