Bolivian Consulate

Effective December 1, 2007, U.S. citizens seeking to enter Bolivia as tourists must have an entry visa. Bolivian tourist visas can be applied for by mail or in person at Bolivian consulates in the U.S., as well as at Bolivian ports of entry, such as at Bolivia’s international airports and at land border crossings. Bolivian tourist visas are valid for five years from the date of issuance and allow the bearer to enter the country three times in a year for a cumulative stay of not more than ninety days. The cost of the tourist visa is $100 or $135 U.S. dollars. The $100 fee can be paid in cash, by deposit to the Bolivian Consulate’s bank account or by money order. Tourists applying for their visa upon arrival to Bolivia must pay this fee in cash to immigration authorities. In addition to the $100 fee, the applicant must present a visa application form with a 4x4 centimeters color photograph, a passport with a validity of not less than 6 months, evidence of a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation in Spanish, proof of economic solvency (credit card, cash or a current bank statement), and an International Vaccination Certificate for yellow fever.

Please visit the Embassy of Bolivia web site at http://www.bolivia-usa.org/ for details on how to apply or contact the nearest Bolivian Embassy or Consulate. Bolivian consulates in the United States are located in Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Oklahoma City, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, DC.

Visa Fee:

• $ 100.00 when obtained in any Bolivian Consulate.

• $ 135.00 when obtained upon arrival to any Bolivian international airport or at any checking point on border.

Bolivian citizens that have obtained American nationality do not need a visa to enter to Bolivia . They must only present a valid Bolivian ID card along with any document that proofs their nationality: RUN number, Bolivian identity card, birth certificate, military service card, family card (Libreta de Familia), consular register card -CRC-, Bolivian passport and even their US passport where it is established a field "Place of Birth"..

She can do it by mail. Looking at the Bolivian Embassy's web site it appears that she can get one upon arrival for the fee of $135. It also looks like they have no consulates other than in their embassy in Washington, DC.

The requirements to get a tourist visa while in the United States are insane. It's obvious their leftist government isn't anxious for American tourists.
