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.

I can tell you that to live in Caracas in a good social status you should avail about US$1800 monthly, more or less spread as follow:
How much is the rent of the apartement? $850
How much is the gas for a car ? 1 lt of gasoline = $0.05 (it's true!!)
How much is bus and metro tickets ? $0.32
How much is a menu in a normal restaurant ? $18
How much is the phone,internet,energy bills ? up to you
How much is health bills ( doctor,etc) ? up to you
How much money do I need for one month, for one year? about US$1800

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

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$.
