Israel to Bolivia visa requirements

Israeli ordinary passport holders can travel to Bolivia visa-free for tourism. As of 1 December 2025, Bolivia eliminated its tourist-visa requirement for Israeli citizens, allowing entry with a valid passport for stays of up to 90 days per calendar year. Bolivia is visa-free for Israeli ordinary passport holders as of 1 December 2025. Under President Rodrigo Paz's new government, Bolivia's foreign ministry eliminated the tourist-visa requirement that had applied to Israeli travelers since 2014 (reinstated in 2020). Israeli citizens can now enter for tourism with only a valid passport, for stays up to 90 days per calendar year. Immigration officers typically grant an initial stay (commonly 30 days for tourists) that can be extended at Bolivian migration offices (DIGEMIG) up to the 90-day annual limit. No advance application or fee is required at a consulate for tourism. Travelers should still carry a passport valid for at least 6 months, proof of onward/return travel, and evidence of sufficient funds. Note: Bolivia historically required proof of yellow fever vaccination for travelers visiting certain risk zones (Amazon/lowland regions), so check current health entry rules. This is a recent policy reversal, so confirm with the Bolivian consulate or your airline before departure, as airline check-in agents and border officers may still be adjusting to the change.
