Anyone been to Bolivia?
You apparently need proof of financial solvency while entering
What types of financial documents did you provide?
I’ve read bank statements, or even simply having a credit card is sufficient.
What was your experience?
Financial documents for Bolivia
Sorry about the Reddit spacing
Bolivia is a shithole full with yolo wandersluts begpackers. I doubt they ask for anything unless you have to apply for a visa prior to arrival. Just bring what you must in any destination where a visa is required. Some cash, some credit/debit cards and hotel reservations.
This is from experience traveling there?g2tms
I'm brazilian and can get there only with my ID card. But never heard of anyone being asked more than hotel reservations, return ticket and means to stay in the country (cash, cards). Even in rich countries that usually is the most people ask. Only US and few rich countries they may ask to take a look at your bank account (just show the app with some money).
>You apparently need proof of financial solvency while entering
Many countries have that requirement, though it's rarely enforced.
>I’ve read bank statements, or even simply having a credit card is sufficient.
You've got it.
Though it's not directly related to the topic, a return ticket would also be nice to have. It doesn't prove you have money, but it does at least prove that you plan to leave and not be too much of a burden.
Crossed the border to Bolivia from Peru and they didn't ask anything at all. Only noticeable thing is that the border agents had several pictures of Evo Morales displayed around.
On my way back to Peru there was a Canadian on the bus who explained he didn't have a visa to exit Bolivia because when he arrived from Brazil the guards didn't bother to look at his passport. They put a stamp of entry, antedated it then gave him the stamp of exit. They seem chill.
i crossed the border from peru
the only document they wanted was my passport
Did they collect fees upon entry/exiting?
no, however i crossed with a tour bus, so i dont know if some form of fee was paid by the tour guides, but i dont believe so
How long were you in Bolivia?
2 weeks because my trip got cut short by sickness
at least as i was passing through, no one got checked for yellow fever vax
Proof of yellow fever but it’s only like 25% that they check it
Probably going to get it tomorrow
>Anyone been to Bolivia?
Yes but it was about 15 years ago.
>What types of financial documents did you provide?
Nothing.

They handed out immigration cards on the plane before we landed and I filled it in on my tray table as I usually do. I landed in La Paz, I showed my passport, they stamped it and I passed through immigration without any problems. I handed the immigration card to some old dude who was sitting at a table collecting them, he didn't even bother looking at it. There was no requirement back then to show any financial documents.
