Visa & Entry

Brazilian citizens enter Bolivia visa-free for tourism stays up to 30 days per entry, extendable to 90 days per calendar year. You just need a valid passport or Brazilian national ID card (RG) for entry. Bolivia accepts the RG for Mercosur nationals at land borders and airports.

No yellow fever certificate is legally required to enter Bolivia from Brazil, but some border officials ask for one, especially at land crossings in the Amazon region. Getting vaccinated before you go avoids any hassle. For overland entry from Brazil, the busiest crossings are Corumba/Puerto Quijarro and Guajara-Mirim/Guayaramerin.

Verify entry requirements with official sources before travel.
