Visa required

A Mainland China ordinary passport alone is not visa-free; a Bolivian visa is required before travel.

An online application may be required, but the traveler still needs an embassy/consulate-issued sticker visa. The Bolivian Embassy in Belgium lists China in Group 2, and the Chinese-citizen visa requirements page lists Bolivia as visa required.

Common questions

Can a Chinese passport holder with a valid U.S. visa enter Bolivia visa-free?

I did not find a Bolivia waiver for “Chinese passport + valid U.S. visa.” The sourced rule says Mainland Chinese ordinary passport holders need a visa for Bolivia, and the online application still requires embassy/consulate issuance of a sticker visa.

Is a British passport visa-free for short tourist travel to Bolivia?

Yes. The Bolivian embassy page lists the United Kingdom in Group 1 visa-exempt countries, and the visa policy source lists British nationality classes as included, with a 90-day maximum stay.

Can a Singapore passport holder use a U.S., Schengen, UK, or Japan visa to avoid a Bolivian visa?

I did not find such a held-document waiver. The sourced Bolivian embassy page lists Singapore in Group 2, meaning a Bolivian visa is required.

Does a U.S. passport holder need a visa for short tourism or business travel to Bolivia?

No. The U.S. Department of State states that U.S. citizens do not need a visa for tourism or business if staying less than 90 days in a year; Bolivia’s Foreign Ministry also announced the United States moved into Group I visa-free status.
