What you need

  • Passport: Must be valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay. It should have at least two blank pages.
  • Visa Application Form: Downloadable from the Bolivian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website or obtainable from the embassy/consulate. It must be completed accurately and truthfully.
  • Financial Proof: Bank statements for the last 3-6 months showing sufficient funds to cover the stay. The exact minimum amount is not specified by the government but should be reasonable for the duration of your trip (e.g., USD 50-100 per day).
  • Accommodation Proof: Hotel reservations or a letter of invitation from a host in Bolivia with their identification details and address.
  • Return Ticket: A confirmed return or onward ticket showing departure from Bolivia.
  • Passport Photos: Two recent passport-sized photographs, 3x4 cm or 3.5x4.5 cm, with a white background, clear facial features, and no headwear (unless for religious reasons).
  • Biometrics: Not typically required for sticker visa applications at consulates/embassies. If an embassy requires it, they will specify.

Fees & processing time

  • Visa Fee: Approximately USD 50-150 for tourist and business visas. This is a guideline, and the actual fee should be confirmed with the specific Bolivian Embassy or Consulate processing your application. Fees are usually payable in USD cash or via bank transfer to the embassy's account.
  • VFS/BLS Service Fee: Not applicable as applications are processed directly at embassies/consulates.
  • Total Cost Estimate: Between USD 50 and USD 150, plus any costs associated with document preparation and travel to the embassy.

Tips for Antigua and Barbuda travelers

  • How far in advance to apply: Apply at least 4-6 weeks before your intended travel date to allow for processing and any potential delays.
  • Common rejection reasons for Antigua and Barbuda applicants specifically: Incomplete application forms, insufficient financial proof, unclear purpose of visit, lack of confirmed return tickets, or expired passport. Ensure all documents are current and accurately reflect your situation.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: All applications must be made directly to a Bolivian Embassy or Consulate. There are no VFS or BLS services for Bolivian visa applications.
  • Any current travel advisories or bilateral notes: Always check the latest travel advisories from your country's foreign affairs ministry and the official Bolivian government website for any health or safety updates. Currently, there are no specific bilateral notes that exempt Antigua and Barbuda citizens from visa requirements.
  • Extension options inside Bolivia: Tourist visas can generally be extended for an additional 30 days by visiting the Directorate of Migration (Dirección General de Migración) office in Bolivia before the initial visa expires. This requires proof of sufficient funds and a valid reason for extension.
