Bolivia Removes Visa Requirements for Citizens of U.S., Israel
The Bolivian Foreign Ministry abolished visa obligations for travelers from multiple nations, primarily the US and Israel, alongside South Korea, South Africa, Latvia, Estonia, and Romania.
Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo projected Monday that the policy shift will generate at least $320 million in tourism revenues between 2026 and 2029.
Aramayo characterized the visa mandate—imposed since 2008 on visitors from various nations—as rooted in both "economic" and "ideological" motivations, while President Rodrigo Paz disclosed that Bolivia had forfeited over $80 million in potential earnings due to the restrictive visa framework.
Under former Bolivian President Evo Morales's tenure, visa requirements for US citizens took effect in 2007, with similar restrictions extended to Israeli citizens in 2014.
