Do I need a work visa to volunteer in Bolivia for more than 90 days?

by Ryan
(Toronto, Ontario, canada)

Hello, I am a Canadian citizen who is planning on going to Bolivia for 4 months to volunteer and was wondering if I needed a special visa or a work visa for that. Also, would I be able to receive it on arrival in Santa Cruz? And if not how would I go about getting a visa from Toronto?

Please help, this is proving to be very frustrating. Thank you

Visas to Bolivia for Canadian Volunteers
by: Anonymous

Canada is a GROUP 1 country. You do not need a tourist visa to enter Bolivia. You can see that here on the Bolivian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website:

http://www.rree.gob.bo/webmre/documentos/servicios/d43.htm

Since you are not working for pay, you should be OK to enter Bolivia without a work permit either.

Why don't you contact one of the Bolivian consulates in Canada and see what they advise you about that, just to be sure:
