    Not in the foreseeable future.

    Our current technology is incapable of preserving human life for any significant length of time on the surface of Venus.

    - We're talking a few minutes at the very most, probably more like a few seconds, in a mobile protective suit.

    Even a vehicle (i.e. people driving, not walking) would last only minutes before the combination of heat, pressure and acidity penetrated the hull and killed those inside.

    It might take terraforming technology

    - that we do not currently possess

    i.e. actually changing (a LOT) the atmospheric environment of Venus

    before humans can actually walk on the surface using a space suit and survive the experience.

    With the highly acidic atmosphere of Venus, then answer is never.  It has a lot of sulphuric acid in its atmosphere, and this will corrode human skin and flesh to the point we will die.

    Maybe after somebody invents asbestos boots.  It's kind of warm over there.  And the atmospheric pressure is about 90 times that of earth.

    Never. Venus is 900 degrees on the surface. Metal and rocks melt at that temperature. It has 90 times earth's pressure. That will crush any craft. It rains sulfuric acid. That will corrode any electronic instruments.
