      As a swede in france, you can add the travel cost to Paris, only the embassy there has the biometric machine to do passports…

      Also the idiots in sweden thought 5 (yes five) years validity is a good thing.

      Venezuelan passport is 220 USD to request it, and 80 USD to pick it. Total is 300 usd

      And you can only request it on specific days according to your ID card end number. So Mondays is terminal numbers 0-1, Tuesday 2-3 and so on.

      And they only process about 7000 request daily

      Working hours are from 8 am to 12 pm or when the total processed is reached

      And the website doesn’t work most of the time.

      And that’s without going into the prerequisites

      Venezuelan minimum wage is about 2 usd monthly.

      Make of that what you will

      All hail the glorious socialist revolution on Venezuela, it is working as intended

      yea, but $16 a year for an instant 50-90% reduced cost of living with guaranteed high-pay employment and no income tax while retaining access to consular services is a pretty good deal.

      not as good as 7 bucks a year, but I’m not exactly going to quibble over the extra ten in the face of all the benefits.
