🇧🇴 Bolivia visa requirements for Vietnamese citizens

Entry rules for Vietnam passport holders
Vietnamese travelers can obtain their visa directly at the border or airport when arriving in Bolivia. Bring a passport with at least six months' validity, passport photos, and the visa fee (often payable only in cash). Lines can be long at peak times, so check whether Bolivia also offers an e-visa to skip the queue.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Bolivia immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
