The U.S. government has announced a "new migration process for the entry of Venezuelans", which has been called the "Process for Venezuelans". It is important that all teams and people working in the field are aware of this new measure in order to advise and guide Venezuelans who may have questions on this topic. For this reason, we share the following key messages, which may be useful in communicating with Venezuelan refugees and migrants.
Special Situation Report on the “New Migration Process for Venezuelans” announced by the U.S. government, with a focus on Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and Mexico. The Special Situation Report provides information on the main needs of refugees and migrants from Venezuela in the context the new Process and R4V partners’ responses. Access to reliable information on the scope and implications of the new Migration Process for Venezuelans and on viable options for affected refugees and migrants, as well as access to basic services, including shelter, WASH, food and basic medical assistance in border areas, continue to be the most critical needs identified by R4V partners.

On 12 October 2022, the U.S. government announced a “New Migration Process for Venezuelans”, with an enforcement element and a ‘safe pathways’ element. This announcement was followed by the pre-publication of a notice in the Federal Register on October 18 that provides more information on the ‘safe pathways’ element, namely a parole process for Venezuelans. The purpose of this document is to explain what is known, and what is not yet known, about this new U.S. policy as it relates to the treatment of Venezuelans at the U.S.-Mexico border and in the region.

Evaluación del panorama de información de protección en América latina (2021-2022)
Since 2018, the R4V Platform has issued annual Regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plans (RMRP), highlighting the needs of vulnerable population groups as well as the response strategies of the various Platform and sector groups, including a complete review following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. Building on valuable feedback from stakeholders, during the planning process in 2022, the R4V Platform decided to separate the RMRP into two documents: (i) the Refugee and Migrant Needs Analysis (RMNA), which highlights the needs of refugees and migrants from Venezuela, while (ii) the RMRP will highlight the response strategy. The RMNA includes multistakeholder and sectoral analyses by Platforms and Sectors at all levels of the response (regional, national, and sub-regional). These include, at minimum, a JNA Workshop and a secondary data review with R4V partners and host country governments, as well as primary data collection exercises, focus group discussions and/or key informant interviews, based on the information needs and dynamics of each Platform.

Tras la apertura de las fronteras del 14 de febrero de 2022, el Puente Internacional Perú-Ecuador continuaba a la fecha de las encuestas con presencia policial solicitando documentación migratoria para ingresar al Perú. Se continuaba observando la entrada de personas refugiadas y migrantes (RyM) venezolanas al país a través de puntos irregulares. Estas entradas se registran con mayor frecuencia antes de las 8 a.m. y después de las 5 p.m., debido al horario de apertura del Puente Binacional. En ese sentido, a fin de caracterizar a la población moviéndose por la frontera norte, la OIM ha desplegado la herramienta de matriz de monitoreo del desplazamiento (DTM) para realizar encuestas a la población objetivo para conocer las características de las personas beneficiarias de asistencia humanitaria. Con fines de poder caracterizarla, el informe presentará dos perfiles, las personas ingresando al país como "Personas ingresando a la frontera norte" y las personas saliendo del país como "Personas saliendo por frontera norte".
