Philippines to Bolivia visa requirements

Philippine ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Bolivia. The Philippines is in Bolivia's Group 1 (visa-exempt), allowing visa-free entry for up to 90 days per calendar year. A Philippines ordinary passport holder can travel to Bolivia for tourism without any visa. Bolivia classifies nationalities into three groups, and the Philippines sits in Group 1 — the visa-exempt category. On arrival, immigration grants a tourist entry stamp valid for up to 90 days within a calendar year. In practice, entry is often issued in an initial period (commonly 30 days) that can be extended at a Bolivian migration office (Migracion) up to the 90-day annual cap, free of charge or for a nominal fee. Travelers should carry a passport valid for at least 6 months, an onward/return ticket, and proof of accommodation and sufficient funds, as border officers may ask. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if arriving from or traveling to risk areas such as the Amazon lowlands (Santa Cruz, Beni, Pando), and is strongly recommended for jungle regions generally. Working or paid activity is not permitted on a tourist entry. There are no recent (2024-2026) changes affecting Philippine nationals; the visa-free status remains in force as of 2026.
