Do Canada passport holders need a visa to visit BO?

Canadian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Bolivia. Canada is a Group 1 (visa-exempt) country. You receive 30 days on arrival, free and extendable twice up to a maximum of 90 days per calendar year. You must complete the free online SIGEMIG pre-arrival registration and carry a passport valid 6+ months with proof of onward travel. Bolivia classifies Canada in Group 1, meaning Canadian ordinary passport holders enter visa-free for tourism. There is no entry visa fee. On arrival, Bolivian Migration (Direccion General de Migracion) grants an initial 30-day stay; this can be extended in person at a migration office two more times for 30 days each, free of charge for Group 1 nationals, to a maximum of 90 days within a single calendar year. Bolivia is in South America (not Schengen), so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Before traveling, all visitors must complete the web-based SIGEMIG registration (free, takes about 8-10 minutes, includes lodging details) which generates a QR code presented at the border; if not done in advance, immigration registers you at the port of entry. Entry conditions: passport valid for at least 6 months from arrival, at least one blank page, proof of onward/return travel, and proof of sufficient funds. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required/recommended if visiting certain Amazonian/lowland regions. Land arrivals must ensure both the exit stamp from the previous country and the Bolivian entry stamp are obtained to avoid departure fines. This verdict was confirmed against the Bolivian Embassy in Canada and the Government of Canada travel advisory (verified 2026-05-31).
