from Columbia to Venezuela I don't know, but from ColOmbia to Venezuela no problem at all at both crossing points Maicao or Cucuta. Just crossed again last week. The usual requirements: title, passport, insurance. it is free both in Col and in Vz, takes about 20 minutes in Vz.

I was backpacking and crossed into Venezuala from Cucuta back in 97.
Before I got there it had a rep as a dangerous city.
My lasting impression of the town was sitting on a local bus coming into the city and being told by the whole bus of concerned locals that i was almost certainly guaranteed of getting robbed when I got to the central terminal!
I jumped off the bus, flagged a stopped taxi and took it straight to the airport.
BTW if you get into Venezuala do not miss Merida in the Mountains. A lovely laid back town, lots of Adventure stuff to do and an incredible ratio of lovely young columbian girls to the male population.
I stayed 2 weeks, hope it has not changed :-)
