Situation Update: Venezuela Political Unrest

The ongoing violent protests recently seen in Venezuela are likely to continue in the near-term, despite President Maduro's proposed talks with the opposition.President Maduro has scheduled talks with the opposition for 10 April.

Essential travel should be undertaken with caution and travellers should minimise their movements when in-country.
