Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Jordanian passport holders can get a visa on arrival at Bolivian airports. Have a printed copy of your flight itinerary and hotel booking ready — the immigration officer may ask for them. The visa costs around $160 USD (cash only, no card accepted). | Required |
| Valid passport Passport validity | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Bolivia. Airlines check this strictly at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket out of Bolivia. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready. If you are overlanding out, a bus ticket or a letter explaining your exit plan works too. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking | Have your first night's hotel confirmation ready — printed or on your phone. Immigration may ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Financial means | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you can cover your stay. Officers rarely ask, but if they do, having $500–$1,000 USD equivalent visible helps. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa fee
The visa-on-arrival fee must be paid in US dollars cash. ATMs at the airport may not dispense dollars, and cards are not accepted. Bring the exact amount.
