Do Finland passport holders need a visa to visit BO?
Finnish ordinary passport holders can visit Bolivia visa-free for tourism. Bolivia places Finland in Group 1 (visa-exempt). You receive an entry stamp at the border at no cost, with stays of up to 90 days per calendar year. Carry a passport valid 6+ months and a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Bolivia classifies countries into three groups. Finland, as an EU member state, is in Group 1 (visa-exempt), so Finnish ordinary-passport tourists do not need a visa in advance or on arrival. Immigration officers issue a free tourist entry stamp at the airport or land border. The standard tourist allowance is up to 90 days per calendar year. In practice many travelers are stamped for 30 days, which can be extended for free at a Bolivian migration (Migración) office up to the 90-day annual maximum. Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond entry, and Bolivia requires an International Certificate of Vaccination against yellow fever (the vaccine should be administered at least 10 days before arrival), which is checked particularly for travel to lowland/jungle regions and onward to other countries. There is no entry fee for Group 1 nationals. Bolivia is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to entering Bolivia (ETIAS is a separate requirement for the reverse direction). The safest, fully current advice for a short tourist trip is: travel visa-free, present a valid passport plus yellow fever certificate, and confirm your stamped duration on arrival.
