These steps apply to everyone who is NOT a Bolivian Citizen, BUT U.S. Citizens are the only ones who have to pay the visa fee. All others have to apply for the visa, but it is free.

You must follow the following guidelines:

1. Go to the Consulate website: http://www.boliviawdc.org/consulate/visas/tv

This is where you will print the application and fill it out.

2. Then you will need to have a recent 2' x 2' passport type photograph (white background) - you can get one at places like CVS or Costco, and many others you can google.

3. Have an Original Passport with at least 6 months of validity

4. Copy of an invitation letter to the country - (Once you are ready for this step, let me know and i'll email you the letter)

5. A copy of the travel itinerary aka your Round trip airfare ticket

6. A copy of a bank statement that shows your name, address, and balance. This is to show that you have economic solvency, meaning you are able to fund your expenses while overseas, so they ensure you don't get reckless, spend all your money and you get stuck in Bolivia. :) )

Once you have all these items in hand, by the middle of August at the very latest, you will need to go to the Consulate of Bolivia office in DC to provide them with this info and acquire the visa. The process of acquiring a Visa takes about 7 days. You must drop off your passport at the consulate with all of your completed paperwork and return 7 days later to pick it up.

1825 Connecticut Ave. NW Suite 200C

Washington, DC 20009

You must have a debit/credit card to pay for the visa at the office for the cost of $160. This visa is valid for 10 years. If you ever decide you want to go back to Bolivia to visit you'll be up to date. ;)
