Step-by-Step Application Process

1

Prepare Documents and Fee

Before traveling, print out all required documents, including your hotel booking, itinerary, and have the visa fee of approximately $100-$160 ready in crisp US Dollar bills.

2

Arrive at Immigration

Upon landing at a major Bolivian international airport (like La Paz or Santa Cruz) or at a land border, proceed to the specific 'Visa on Arrival' desk.

3

Submit and Pay

Submit your documents, pay the fee in USD cash, and receive your visa stamp allowing entry into Bolivia.

Required Documents

  • β€”Valid Chinese passport (minimum 6 months validity)
  • β€”Printed itinerary or round-trip ticket
  • β€”Proof of accommodation (hotel reservation) or an invitation letter
  • β€”Recent passport-sized photo
  • β€”Proof of economic solvency (credit card or cash)
  • β€”Valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate (required for certain areas)

Important Tips

  • β€’The Yellow Fever certificate is essential if visiting the Amazon basin or regions below 2,300 meters.
  • β€’Make sure your hotel booking matches your exact travel dates.
  • β€’If crossing by land from Peru or Chile, border officers can also issue the visa on arrival, but airport entry is usually smoother.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.
