Do I Need a Visa for Bolivia?

The stated policy of the government of Bolivia is that all US citizens must have a visa prior to arrival. You must also have a passport with a minimum of 6 months’ validity remaining after your planned departure date. However, in practice, on arrival visas are available to US citizens at the La Paz International Airport only; if you are entering Bolivia via any other port, you should have the visa in advance. A visa for Bolivia is currently valid for ten years, and it permits multiple entries into the country. Each trip to Bolivia may only last for 30 days, and you may not stay in Bolivia for more than 90 days in any one calendar year.

Where Do I Obtain My Visa for Bolivia?

Visas for Bolivia must be obtained via the Bolivian consulate that has jurisdiction over your state of residence. If you are entering Bolivia via the La Paz International airport, on arrival visas may be available to US citizens. However, on arrival visas are only available at this airport; if you plan to enter Bolivia via another airport or via a land border crossing, you must have your visa in advance. Bolivian visa policy changes frequently, and conflicting guidance is posted by the government. As a result, Passport Health recommends that all travelers to Bolivia obtain their visas in advance.
