Venezuala TPS Extention

The Details:

The Department of Homeland Security announced on Jan. 10, 2025, the extension of the 2023 designation of Temporary Protected Status for Venezuela for 18 months, from April 3, 2025, to Oct. 2, 2026, due to extraordinary and temporary conditions in Venezuela that prevent individuals from safely returning.

The corresponding Federal Register notice provides information about re-registering for TPS as a current beneficiary under Venezuela’s extension.

The extension of TPS for Venezuela allows current beneficiaries to retain TPS through Oct. 2, 2026, if they continue to meet TPS eligibility requirements. Current beneficiaries under TPS for Venezuela, including those registered under the Oct. 3, 2023, or the prior March 9, 2021, TPS designation, must re-register from Jan. 17, 2025, through Sept. 10, 2025, to ensure they maintain TPS and employment authorization.

Individuals are barred from TPS if they have been convicted of any felony or two misdemeanors.

People currently registered under TPS will obtain TPS through Oct. 2, 2026.

Please refer to the Federal Register notice for an explanation of eligibility criteria, timelines, and procedures necessary for current beneficiaries to re-register and renew EADs.
