You keep your U.S. citizenship.

Transeúnte Estudiante visa needs admission to a qualifying course; the course and your passport then decide it.

What would settle itYour admission and the course’s eligibility under the destination’s rules.

Not legal advice.

Time: Processing starts after the authority accepts a complete application; travel and work begin only after the required permission issues.
Cost: The authority assesses its filing charge under the fee schedule in force on submission, plus document costs.
The hard part: Obtaining institutional support and confirming an available consular filing channel for a US passport.

Time away: Ten years of domicile in Venezuela with uninterrupted residence immediately before applying (5 for the listed nationalities). The law sets no annual day count. The application must show a current Venezuelan identity card, passport and visa; the authority has up to 6 months to decide once the file is complete.
Two passports: Yes. You keep your U.S. citizenship.

Time on this program does not count toward permanent residence or citizenship; the family would need to switch to one that does.
This is expressly a non-migrant student visa, renewable through the Interior Ministry; it is not one of the transient categories allowed to convert to resident status after a year, so it does not by itself open the residence-to-citizenship road.

The law behind these dates

Time you must spend there: The program sets no minimum number of days. Renewal still expects it to be your home.
Tax: Where you become tax resident follows the days you spend there and where your home is. We map it for your family before you move.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.
