Each country has its own rules regarding visits from American citizens. Bolivia requires that any American citizen traveling in to the country have the appropriate type of visa.
The type of visa you’ll get is based on the purpose of your trip. Fortunately, Bolivia’s visa system is relatively straightforward. Unless you are a diplomat on official business, there are three types of visas to choose from:
Tourist visas- Bolivian tourist visas are for people who want to visit Bolivia as tourists or who want to visit friends or relatives. Tourist visas are valid for a period of 5 years. During that 5 year period, you can visit Bolivia 3 times, but each visit can be no longer than 90 days.
Business visas– Bolivian business visas are for people entering Bolivia on business. They are generally single-entry, and you can only stay for 30 days.
Employment visas- Bolivian employment visas are for people who plan to live and work in Bolivia. A personal interview is required for an employment visa, which means you can’t apply through an expediting agency.
If you need a tourist visa, you can apply for one when you arrive in Bolivia. But should you? It’s much easier to already have your visa in hand before you leave-why risk getting held up at the airport unnecessarily? Plus, you have to pay the $135 fee in cash at the airport-they don’t take American Express (or Visa, or traveler’s checks, or any other form of payment).
By applying for a tourist visa ahead of time, you greatly increase your chances of a hassle-free entry into Bolivia. At RushMyTravelVisa, we can help you with the visa paperwork and submit it to the appropriate consulate or embassy for you. This makes applying for a visa extremely simple, so you don’t have to take any more time out of your busy schedule than necessary.
Plus, using an expediting service can help prevent mistakes that could delay processing.
