Online application via embassy or consulate

To simplify the visa application process for nationals who require a visa, Bolivia has introduced an online platform that allows travelers to submit their personal information, supporting documents, and payment electronically. However, the platform currently serves primarily as an application portal rather than a fully digital visa process.

Visa applications are still processed by Bolivian embassies or consulates. Applicants must contact the relevant embassy or consulate to submit any additional required documents and their passport in order to obtain the visa sticker. In some cases, an interview may also be required. Some embassies and consulates do not require this online application process. [17] [1] [18] [19]
