Saudi Arabia to Bolivia visa requirements

Yes, a visa is required. Saudi Arabian ordinary passport holders fall under Bolivia's "Group 2," which since 25 July 2025 can no longer obtain a visa on arrival. You must apply for a tourist visa in advance through Bolivia's online migration platform and collect the visa sticker at a Bolivian embassy or consulate before you travel. Bolivia classifies foreign nationalities into three groups. Group 1 enjoys visa-free entry for up to 90 days; Group 2 historically could obtain a visa on arrival; Group 3 must obtain prior authorization. Saudi Arabia is a Group 2 nationality. Crucially, the visa-on-arrival channel for Group 2 nationals was terminated on 25 July 2025, as confirmed by diplomatic missions in Bolivia. As a result, Saudi ordinary passport holders must now apply for the tourist (visitor) visa in advance: complete the application on Bolivia's online migration system, gather supporting documents (valid passport with at least two blank pages, photo, round-trip ticket, proof of lodging, proof of funds, yellow fever certificate where applicable, and often a police clearance), and present the passport at the Bolivian diplomatic mission accredited to Saudi Arabia to receive the visa sticker. The standard tourist visa permits a 30-day stay per entry, is generally extendable in-country up to a maximum of 90 days within a 12-month period, and the consular fee for Group 2 nationals is low (commonly around USD 30 or waived for advance applications, depending on the mission). Because visa-on-arrival has ended and sources confirm a prior-application requirement, the conservative and correct verdict is visa-required.
