Does anyone know if a Dominican citizen needs a transit visa for Venezuela if the citizen is changing planes and having a 2 hour layover in Venezuela?

I asked the Venezuelan consulate in NY and they said a transit visa would be necessary. My girlfriend called the Venezuelan embassy in Santo Domingo and they said the transit visa would not be necessary if she is there for less than 8 hours.

Does anyone have 1st hand experience or know the answer to this?

Thanks.
