Current visa requirements and eligibility criteria
- Valid passport with minimum six months validity
- Sufficient financial means to support your stay
- Detailed travel itinerary with confirmed bookings
- Complete the application form with accurate information
One of the key challenges Afghan citizens face is that there are no Bolivian diplomatic missions in Afghanistan. This means applications must be submitted through Bolivian embassies or consulates in other countries where you have legal residence.
We recommend applying for your visa directly with the Bolivian Embassy.
