Poland to Bolivia visa requirements

Polish ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Bolivia. Poland is a Group 1 (visa-exempt) country and is granted up to 90 days per calendar year on arrival, free of charge. As of June 2026, Poland is classified in Group 1 of Bolivia's visa policy, meaning Polish ordinary passport holders enter visa-free for tourism. On arrival, the immigration officer grants a tourist stay of up to 90 days per calendar year, which can be extended at a DIGEMIG/SIGEMIG migration office for up to 180 days total in the same calendar year. There is no visa fee. However, every foreign traveler (including visa-free nationals) must complete the free SIGEMIG online migratory pre-registration before arrival, which generates a QR code shown at immigration; failure to register results in a small exit fine of about UFV 100 (roughly BOB 250). Travelers should carry a passport valid for at least 6 months with a blank page, proof of onward/return travel, and accommodation details. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is recommended for Amazon/jungle regions and required if arriving from an endemic country. Bolivia is not in the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply to this route. This verdict is confirmed by Wikipedia's visa policy page, the Bolivian Embassy (EU) Group 1 list, and the official SIGEMIG migration portal.
