Overview
Venezuela publishes visa category guidance through its consular network and migration/foreigner renewal guidance through SAIME. The France consular section is used here because it exposes a complete official route set and current electronic-visa guidance; applicants should still confirm local filing mechanics with the Venezuelan consulate serving their residence. The consular student/internship page says the TR-E / TR-F-E visa is granted to non-migrant people entering Venezuela for higher, technical or university studies, specialization, or an internship in their specialty. SAIME also publishes renewal requirements for Transeunte Estudiantil, including SAIME account access, passport validity, entry/exit stamps, latest visas and updated study certificate.
