DHL
will generally return the passport with visa to a DHL office
in the Bolivian city closest to the residence of an approved
applicant within 48 to 72 hours AFTER DHL HAS RECEIVED these
passports from the Embassy. Applicants should allow at least
3 business days after the interview for any travel.
The DHL delivery fee is US$5 per passport, payable at the
time the applicant picks up his/her passport at the DHL
office. Information regarding the procedures for claiming
your passport from DHL will be provided to successful applicants
at the time of their visa interviews.
The Embassy chose DHL based on their reputation, experience
and cost-effectiveness, after soliciting proposals from
several other delivery companies.
Emergencies / Urgent Travel
In the case of a death in the family or a medical or business
emergency, please inform the interviewing Consular Officer
during your interview, as it may be possible to receive
your visa the same day.
Visa Annotations
In some cases, the Consular Officer will annotate your visa.
The most common visa annotation is “SUBJECT NOT THE
SAME AS CLASS ENTRY” – this annotation is included
on your visa when your name, date of birth or other identifying
feature is similar to that of another person, and it is
designed to facilitate your admission into the United States
at your point of entry. If you have questions regarding
other annotations on your visa, please e-mail us at consularlapaz@state.gov. |
