In November, this will translate to two petros for a new passport and 1 petro for an extension. The new payment method was part of a joint announcement, which also revealed that the country has established a migration police which will tend to the 72 ports of entry. The creation of the force comes at a time of mass emigration from Venezuela due to its deep economic crisis.
