Applecare worldwide

Question

Applecare worldwide

I'm buying a MBP and then I'm going to live in Venezuela for the next 2 years and I can't see anywhere if I can use Applecare there?

I know this reseller: http://www.macstorevenezuela.com , says it's an authorized reseller and authorized service provider but does that mean Applecare works there just like in the U.S.?

Because these guy's in Iceland ( http://apple.is ) only accept Applecare for 2 years of 3 and they even have all the Apple look and everything both in store and on their website. But this is not an official Apple store. Just a Apple reseller in disguise. And just 2-3 years ago they didn't recognize Applecare at all 😝

So what do you think? Should I buy Applecare for my Mac before going to Venezuela?

Look here; there are 9 authorized Apple repair places in Venezuela:

You should definitely get AppleCare for your MB pro; there are plenty of things that can and do go wrong with a MB pro over time and repairs are very costly.

But I have one more question. The one year warranty that comes with Mac's bought in U.S., is that global? Can I take my MBP for repairs in Vzla with only that warranty. I should be able to use that for service at any Apple-authorized repair center in the world shouldn't I?

Yes,The one year warranty that came with your Mac is good anywhere in the world where there's an Apple authorized repair facility.
