Answer 3

In a guess house in a good place, you will pay about 180 US$

Don't mention gas for car, is very cheap about .20  US$ per gal.

The same quantity for metro and city bus.

Taxi is something more expensive about from 4 or 5 US$, and more for larger dist.

Residential phone, service about 20 each month, the equipment is as cheap as 25 US$, You can buy it plug and play, cellular phone is the same price. Internet connection is 30 US monthly.

Persons from the near countries come to Venezuela for medical treatment because the cheap and the good medicine.

A normal person needs about 2 and a half million, may be 3,  of Bolivares each month, that is 1500 US$.



I live in Barquisimeto, with  much, the best place in this country for living

Answer 4

I would advise against it.  Venezuela is a great country but is currently experiencing a lot of social and political problems.  However, if you decide to go, first you will need a transit visa (visa transeunte) which is good for one year.  You can get it at the Venezuelan consulate or embassy.  You could go for I believe 60 days with a tourist visa but believe me, you will have problems converting it.  As for how much money you will need, I would say rent would be about $400.  gas is almost free and the metro and buses are very cheap as well.  If the apartment you rent doesn't have a phone you probably won't be able to get one.  You can however get a prepaid cellular phone, however, while it is pretty cheap to text, using the phone probably costs about 25 to 50 cents a minute to make a call.  Interestingly, it is free to receive calls, but the person calling you will have to pay about 50 to 75 cents a minute to call you.  A normal restaurant?  Any fast-food franchise like McDonald's costs about $9 when it only costs $6 in the U.S.  There are of course lots of inexpensive restaurants where you could eat for about $5, it depends on what you like. I believe  internet access is about the same as in the states, maybe more.  Around $30 to $50 a month. other utilities are fairly cheap.  As for health care, there are lots of free clinics for minor things.  You would just have to buy whatever medicine they prescribe although sometimes even this is given out freely.  On the other hand, if you want good medical care for something more serious, you will have to go to a private clinic which could cost $150 per day which is cheap compared to what you would be charged in the U.S. (Without health insurance).  And for that $150 to $200 per day, you will be treated really well, compared to the regular hospitals which usually are understaffed and under-supplied.  All in all I would guess about $1500 to $2000 per month to be comfortable and safe in Caracas.  Another option is Merida or some of the other cities.  You could live very nicely for $800 per month.  I lived there for ten years so I know a lot about it.  You should check out some of the venezuelan online newspapers like: el universal or fronteraenlinea.com check the classified ads.  Another resource for you is the Alianza-Francesa.  There was one in Merida.  Perhaps, they have a webpage.  Hope this helps.

How much money do I need for one month, for one year? do the math.

Another thing that you need to take in count is that in Venezuela the economy is ever-changing and the prices are constantly increasing .

Answer 6

In Caracas rent can be over 2.000.000 Bs a month.

Gas is 97Bs. per Lt.

Bus tickets are 900Bs.

The metro costs 500Bs to most stations metrobus costs 700Bs.

A manu at a good resturant can be over 40000Bs per person. Phone and everny bills depend on how much you consume but it's cheaper than in the US.

Health bills are expensive a consultation is over 120000Bs so imagen if you have tests done.

I think you can live on 3.000.000 Bs a month but it depends.

1$=2.150 Bs
