Two. Immigration and customs instructions
1. Citizens participating in the committee must hold valid international travel documents issued by the government of China. According to the visa-free agreement between China and Venezuela, citizens holding diplomatic and official passports issued by the Government of China do not need to apply for entry visas. Citizens holding ordinary passports for business or private purposes should apply for an entry visa to embassies and consulates in China before going to Venezuela.
2. Fill in the entry form and customs declaration form before entering the country (these two forms are generally distributed to passengers by the aircrew before the plane lands). The entry form needs to fill in the basic personal information (roughly the same as the personal information on the passport information page), Committee address and visa type. The customs declaration form requires the type and value of personal luggage to be filled in.
3. When going through the formalities in the entry-exit administration department, the entry-exit administration department needs to submit my passport and the completed entry form to the immigration office at the entry-exit window, and can only enter the country after the inspection records are completed, the entry form is kept and the personal passport stamped with the entry stamp is returned. Citizens with tourist visas also need to show their return air tickets.
4. After completing the entry formalities and receiving the luggage, the baggage ticket and customs declaration form should be handed over to the customs officer at the customs gate of the airport. The customs officer can only go through the customs after receiving the customs declaration form, and entrust the customs to conduct spot checks on the passengers' luggage. Once the customs officials check the luggage and ask for unpacking inspection, our citizens should adopt a cooperative attitude. For passengers with diplomatic passports, unless their luggage looks suspicious, the Customs Committee will generally give them the courtesy of exemption from inspection.
5. Articles (drugs, weapons, seeds, soil, etc. If it is generally not allowed to be brought into China internationally, the customs will not allow it unless there is special permission. The customs has restrictions on all kinds of goods that passengers bring into the country and buy outside the commission.
6. The Committee is located in the tropical area, which is a high incidence area of tropical diseases such as dengue fever and yellow fever. According to the changes of international epidemic situation, the Immigration Bureau of the Communist Party of China requires tourists to show their health certificates or vaccination certificates from time to time (recently, the Communist Party of China requested to inject yellow fever vaccination certificates 10 days before the arrival of the Communist Party of China). There is currently no dengue vaccine).
7. Due to the phenomenon of forged visas and entry stamps and illegal immigration activities in the documents held by some immigrants, the National Guard and the Immigration Bureau often add a document inspection for China citizens at the entrance of the cabin. This kind of inspection should be regarded as discrimination against Chinese citizens and in line with international practice. In case of such inspection, Chinese citizens should try their best to negotiate with a certain foreign language ability when they go to the Communist Party of China to avoid inspection. If negotiation fails, you can show him your certificate. If it is proved to be legal, the parties concerned still have to take different measures and refuse to release it, and they can ask the embassy for help. Never bribe inspectors privately, as it will only condone the special inspection of China people by the European Commission.

Venezuela's urban architectural planning is Spanish-style, and the new urban areas are mostly high-rise buildings, luxury houses and slums. There are many styles of houses in rural areas, some are beautiful two-story buildings, some are bungalows made of bricks and cement, and some are huts. Venezuelans usually dress casually. On formal occasions, both men and women wear suits and leather shoes. Indians have many kinds of clothes, and they seldom wear suits.
The etiquette of residents is similar to that of other European and American countries. When friends meet, they shake hands and greet each other. Close friends should hug and kiss on the cheek when they meet. The same is true when leaving. Venezuelans attach great importance to the address when they meet, and think that paying attention to proper address and respecting others are the basic etiquette requirements. The common names are Mr., Mrs. and Miss.
In diplomatic situations, any woman in Venezuela can be called "lady". Venezuelans pay more attention to their titles, and generally add administrative or academic titles before addressing them. When invited to Venezuela's home, it is best to send some gifts to the hostess in advance and send a thank-you letter afterwards. When friends meet and exchange gifts, men like friends to give them a good pen or other office supplies. For ladies, giving them a bouquet of orchids is the best gift, because orchids are the national flowers of Venezuela, symbolizing simple and warm friendship. Venezuela's customs are western, and its taboos are the same or similar to those of Mexico and other Latin American countries.
