- MORE INFORMATION -

For visa information, and/or to schedule an appointment, you must obtain a PIN from any participating branch of DHL in Bolivia for the equivalent of US $14.00. The PIN will allow you to schedule up to five immediate family members living at the same address.

Immediately after obtaining the PIN, you will be able to access the service during business hours by calling from a touch-tone telephone from anywhere in Bolivia: Tel: 800-100-449.

The visa information and appointment service is available Monday through Friday between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm, Bolivian local time, excluding Bolivian holidays.

In addition, you should pay the visa application fee of US $100.00, payable in dollars or Bolivianos at any branch of Banco Bisa in Bolivia.

$100.00 MRV processing fee: Each applicant for a nonimmigrant visa, except those qualifying for A, G, or C-3 visas, must pay a non-refundable processing fee of $100.00, payable in bolivianos or dollars. The fee may be paid at any branch of Banco Bisa. The receipt must be in the applicant's name and printed on the standard Banco Bisa receipt paper. No application is accepted without this fee being paid first. If an applicant is denied a visa and wishes to reapply, or if an applicant loses the receipt, the $100 MRV processing fee must be paid again. A new receipt is required for each application; copies are not accepted.

Other fees, such as fees associated with blanket petition H1B and L1 visas, waiver processing or reciprocity fees for applicants from applicable countries, may be paid at the Embassy in cash. The $100 MRV processing fee must be paid at Banco Bisa prior to the visa appointment and is not payable at the Embassy.
