Austria to Bolivia visa requirements

Austrian (ordinary passport) citizens do NOT need a visa for tourism in Bolivia. Austria is in Bolivia's Group 1 (visa-exempt). You get a tourist stamp on arrival, but you MUST complete the free SIGEMIG online entry registration before you fly. Austria is classified in Group 1 of Bolivia's visa policy, meaning ordinary Austrian passport holders enter Bolivia visa-free for tourism. On arrival, immigration typically grants a 30-day tourist entry, which can be extended free of charge in two further 30-day blocks at a Bolivian migration (DIGEMIG) office, up to a maximum of 90 days per calendar year. There is no visa fee. The one mandatory administrative step is the free online SIGEMIG entry registration, which all travelers (tourists and residents) must complete before arriving in Bolivia; failure to do so can lead to delays at the border and fines on departure. The passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of arrival, and border officials may ask for proof of onward/return travel and sufficient funds. Bolivia is in South America and is not part of the Schengen Area, so Schengen/ETIAS rules do not apply to this route. These requirements reflect Bolivia's 2025-2026 entry framework, which simplified tourist entry for most Western nationalities.
