Consulate of Bolivia

The consulate has finally open today afternoon (10th November) and they have gotten the authorization to give out visas. However, the visa is no longer free. I got mine today for a fee of US30, to be deposited at the bank nearby.

We went straight down at 2.30pm after hearing that they were able to give out visas. There was a queue of people waiting to get their visas a while after but we had to wait for the staff to have their lunch break (2.30-3pm). When they reopened, the staff collected our documents and gave us a slip to deposit the application fee at the bank. After returning and fearing the consulate will be closed (3.30pm), we queued and waited for our turn to enter the consulate to receive our visa. Once you enter the office, the procedure was quite fast, taking about 15mins for them to check and print some documents. Thankfully, our application was approved and we now have our visa stickers stuck very neatly in our passports.

Some people before us got their visas rejected because of missing documents online and misspelt names so do check your online application and printed documents. Documents they requested for included the sworn statement, travel itinerary, bank statement, return flight/bus, accommodation booking, passport copy and yellow fever vaccination certificate (however they still accepted my application even though I did not print it out)

I have a lot of concern about Bolivia visa from when I start my travel. Even diplomat is working so hard, he was always kinds and calm. I really appreciate of it.

I had a great experience! They issue visa to me very quick. Very helpful and nice people. Thanks !

Extremely friendly and helpful! I didn’t know what documents I needed but they helped me and I received my visa the same day. You do have to walk around the corner to deposit the money at the bank but it was quick. I waited maybe 90 min total for my visa (I’m from the US).

Was expecting a very difficult and painful process, but was pleasantly surprised. The staff at the consulate are very quick and helpful. They even helped me fix my application document that was incorrect. Big thanks to the two helpful ladies outside 👏

You have to fill up the visa application on line first, since I did not have any information about it. I was informed by the Visa officer that I have to go to an Internet place to do the necessary on line application ang fill it up, make sure you have the computer generated assigned number before you go back to the embassy. I was there around lunch hour and the visa officer was not there, it was the Ambassador who help me out with my application. I have a great time in their beautiful country.

I’ve been to 87 countries and this Visa has been the easiest I’ve ever gotten! I showed up with the wrong paperwork and the guys helped me out. Our entire trip was focused around visiting Bolivia and we were pretty nervous about getting one at a consulate in person. Easy process and they helped us through it! Thanks guys!

Hector was so kind to process our visas outside of his office hours. Thanks to him, we got our visas in minutes or else we would have missed our flight from La PaZ to Uyuni if we were to apply for visa on arrival. My second time dealing with Bolivian immigration and I must say they are one of the best!

Straightforward, helpful, no wait for me (but just got lucky bc there was a tour group that came in right after me of about 8 people). From San Pedro market (same side of street) got on Se Cabildo bus and get off at Magesterio. Turn in all papers (from US - need photo, bank balance screenshot, hotel reservations, photo copy of passport and printed itinerary), go to bank around the corner with $160 to pay, and Hector will welcome you to Bolivia!

if you applied the visa on the internet you can just bring passport. copy of passport and the document you can print out after applying on their website. I couldn't find decent info about it.

Professional and helpful. Visa process was very quick (5~10min). No fees for Moroccan passport

very kind

Great and helpful staff. Very fast service. Thank you so much for your help!

Good

Excellent service.

這裡是早上收件 下午發護照
早上大概8:40到😀
總之來了之後你就會知道你所有準備都不能用😌
瞎忙到10:40
沒事請到對面找一位女士 她可以幫忙
收費45sol
聽起來很像被宰
但省下落地簽的80美金！！兄弟姐妹們
玻利維亞簽證的最佳準備就是不要準備
帶你的護照跟大頭照給對面的女士就好了😄

甚至我的簽證資料是自己用的下午3:30才發現資料有問題（他們說不行就是不行，花錢了事）
給對面的小姐就馬上拿到簽證囉～～～～～？？？

難以想像大使先生竟然加班到晚上七點，讓我當天拿到簽證，2024三月中，附近山丘的廢墟可以看飛機起降

문 밖에서 서류 제출하고 근처 bcp 은행에서 $30 납부한 후에 영사관에 영수증이랑 여권 제출하면 1시간 뒤에 다시 오라고 합니다. 근처 카페에서 시간 때우다가 돌아가서 여권이랑 비자 받으면 끝! 총 한시간 반정도 걸렸습니다.

11월7일 오늘도 비자 실패
이번주 안되고 아마 다음주에나 가능하다고 합니다

오전에 방문한 덕분에 비자를 빠르게 발급받을 수 있었다. 비자 발급후 영사님께서 여권을 주시며 볼리비아 여행을 환영하신다는 인사도 해주셨다. 물론 case by case 이긴하지만 온라인 신청시 꼼꼼하게 서류 작성을 한다면 볼리비아 비자발급은 어렵지 않다!!!!
