Release Date 09/05/2025
The Department of Homeland Security today posted a Federal Register notice on the termination of the 2021 designation of Venezuela for Temporary Protected Status. After reviewing country conditions and consulting with the appropriate interagency partners, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem determined that conditions in Venezuela no longer meet the statutory requirements for TPS.
The 2021 TPS designation for Venezuela will terminate at 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 7, 2025, 60 days after publication of this Federal Register notice. If you are an alien who is currently a beneficiary of TPS for Venezuela under the 2021 designation, you should prepare to return to Venezuela if you have no other lawful basis for remaining in the United States. You can use the CBP Home mobile application if you intend to depart the United States.
