Frequently Asked Questions
For formal business activities such as meetings, negotiations, or conferences, a business visa is more appropriate. A tourist visa does not authorize paid work or formal business engagements. It is advisable to apply for the correct visa category to avoid issues at immigration.
While requirements can vary slightly by embassy, an invitation letter from a Bolivian company or organization is strongly recommended and often required. The letter should detail the nature of the business, the duration of the visit, and confirmation that the Bolivian entity will facilitate the visit.
Extensions may be possible through DIGEMIG, the Bolivian immigration authority, but this is not guaranteed. It is best to apply for the appropriate duration from the outset and contact the relevant immigration office well before your authorized stay expires.
