Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Bolivia visa requirements

Yes, a Taiwan ordinary passport holder needs a visa for Bolivia. Taiwan is in Bolivia's "Group 2," and the previous visa-on-arrival option for Group 2 nationals ended on 25 July 2025. You must now obtain a tourist (sticker) visa in advance at a Bolivian consular office before you travel. The fee for Taiwan, China, Hong Kong and Iran nationals is about US$30 at a consulate, and the visa allows a 30-day stay (extendable up to 90 days per year). Taiwan (Republic of China) ordinary passport holders are classified in Group 2 of Bolivia's visa policy, which requires a visa for tourism. Historically Group 2 travellers could pay for a visa on arrival at La Paz, Cochabamba and Santa Cruz airports, but this on-arrival channel was discontinued around 25 July 2025 and is no longer listed as a reliable option. As of mid-2026, Taiwan nationals should obtain a Bolivian tourist "sticker" visa in advance from a Bolivian embassy or consular/representative office (a Bolivian representative office exists in Taipei). Taiwan benefits from a reduced fee tier shared with China, Hong Kong and Iran: approximately US$30 when applied for at a consulate in advance, versus roughly 665 bolivianos (about US$95) if processed at the border. The tourist visa grants a 30-day stay, extendable twice at Bolivian immigration offices up to a maximum of 90 days within a 12-month period. Requirements include a passport valid at least six months, passport photos, proof of onward/exit travel, accommodation, sufficient funds, and a clean criminal record. Bolivia is in South America and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Because the on-arrival option is no longer dependable and sources point to advance consular processing, the conservative and correct verdict is visa-required.
