Considering the recent unfolding of migratory phenomena around the globe, it is necessary to
address the displacements that are present in the regional context of Latin America and the Pan Amazon. Within this reality, the migration of Venezuelans towards other countries has gained
relevance and attention not only from academia, but also from humanity. The intense flow to
countries considered Amazonian draws attention. Brazil presents itself as one of the most
sought after destinations of this migration. The label of crisis migration is valid because of the
latest events in Venezuela, such as the lack of supplies like food and medicine. However, the
hypothesis raised is that this migration is not exclusively a crisis migration, but also a
spontaneous labor migration. In this sense, we analyze this migration and its unfoldings to
explain how this displacement to the cities of Belém-PA and Boa Vista-RR occurs. Supported
by the methodology of mixed studies, the research involves techniques of data collection from
a survey and bibliographic analysis; survey and document analysis; and the guided/individual
interview used in a field work carried out in Boa Vista. Thus, it is observed that, although most
of this migratory flow of Venezuelans to Brazil, to the Amazon, more specifically to the cities
of Belém-PA and Boa Vista-RR, are considered as a crisis migration, it could be seen that there
is also the understanding of the presence of a labor migration, especially that displacement of
Venezuelans to the capital of Roraima, which is characterized as the displacement of people in
search of employment opportunities to improve their lives.
