I bought the iPhone some time ago and now that I'm moving I need to unlock it.
You cannot. Only the carrier the device is locked to can authorize an unlock. I suggest if they do not offer unlocking services that you sell the device and use the proceeds to purchase a device in the location you are moving to.
You can't. Only your carrier can release you. Even if they don't have early unlock options, you should still be free at the end of your contract.

Actually, not all carriers provide unlocking services, despite the status of the contract. I certainly could not speak for a carrier in Venezuela, but I know that if you check the Apple support document about wireless carriers, there are still some listed there that do not provide unlocking services at all.
A link to the document, Wireless carrier support and features for iPhone in Latin America and the Caribbean - Apple Support and in looking at it, Venezuela is not even listed as a supported country.

After reviewing this list of supported carriers, Wireless carrier support and features for iPhone in Latin America and the Caribbean - Apple Support, where did you purchase this phone? Venezuela is not even listed as a supported country.
How can I unlock my iPhone 5 if my current carrier does not offer unlocking services? (My current carrier is Movistar-Venezuela)
