South Korea to Bolivia visa requirements

South Korean ordinary passport holders can enter Bolivia visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days per calendar year. Bolivia added South Korea to its Group 1 (visa-exempt) list on 1 December 2025, replacing the previous visa-on-arrival requirement. As of 1 December 2025, Bolivia placed South Korea in Group 1 of its visa policy, meaning South Korean ordinary passport holders no longer need any visa for tourism, business, or transit. Travelers may stay up to 90 days per calendar year. The change reversed the earlier regime, under which South Koreans needed either an embassy visa or a visa on arrival (the VOA option had ended on 25 July 2025). No prior application, invitation letter, or hotel voucher is required, but a passport valid for at least six months, proof of onward travel, and proof of sufficient funds may be requested at the border. Entry is typically granted as an initial authorization (commonly 30 days) that can be extended at a Bolivian migration office up to the 90-day annual limit. Bolivia is not in the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply. Because this is a recent unilateral change, travelers should reconfirm with the Bolivian consulate in Seoul or IATA Travel Centre before departure, and note the yellow fever vaccination recommendation for certain regions (Amazon basin).
