This article analyses the digitalisation of migration governance on the Brazil–Venezuela border. This digitalisation process ensued after the 2018 border militarisation through Operação Acolhida [Operation Welcome] and the adoption of international models spurred by a border security narrative. Based on a qualitative methodology, which included observation, interviews and documentary research, we examined the implications of digitalising migration governance in two areas of Venezuelan migrants' experiences on the Brazil–Venezuela border: (1) control and surveillance of Venezuelans as they arrive and settle in Brazil and (2) access to services and training projects on Brazilian territory
