Türkiye to Bolivia visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay in Bolivia without a visa?

Up to 90 days within a calendar year. Officers often stamp 30 days at the border, which you can extend at a migration office up to the 90-day total.

Q: Is there a fee to enter Bolivia as a Turkish tourist?

No visa fee applies to Group 1 nationals. Entry is free; you may pay a small fee only if you formally extend your stay.

Q: Do I need a yellow fever vaccination for Bolivia?

It is recommended and may be required if you visit risk areas like the Amazon lowlands or arrive from a yellow-fever country. Get vaccinated at least 10 days before travel.

Q: What documents should I carry on arrival?

A passport valid 6+ months, and ideally proof of onward/return travel, accommodation, and sufficient funds, which border officials may request.

Q: Could Bolivia's visa rules for Turkey change?

Possibly. Bolivia has reclassified several countries between groups in 2024-2025. Turkey remains Group 1 as of mid-2026, but confirm with a Bolivian consulate before you travel.

Turkish ordinary passport holders can visit Bolivia visa-free for tourism. Turkey is in Bolivia's Group 1 (visa-exempt) list and travelers may stay up to 90 days per calendar year with no visa or fee required. Turkey is classified in Group 1 of Bolivia's visa policy, meaning Turkish citizens holding an ordinary passport do not need a visa for tourism or short visits. On arrival they are generally granted a stay that can total up to 90 days per calendar year (often issued as 30 days at the border, extendable at a Bolivian migration office). No visa fee applies for Group 1 nationals. Travelers must carry a passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival, and immigration officers may ask for proof of onward/return travel, accommodation, and sufficient funds. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is recommended and may be required if arriving from or visiting risk areas (e.g., the Amazon lowlands). Note that Bolivia's visa policy is dynamic: in 2024-2025 several countries (notably the US and Israel) were moved between groups, and on 1 December 2025 eight countries were added to the visa-exempt group. Turkey's Group 1 visa-free status was unaffected and remains in force as of mid-2026. Because policies can change, confirm with the Bolivian consulate before travel. Do not confuse this with the reverse direction: Bolivian citizens traveling to Turkey have their own separate rules.
