AS OF OCTOBER 2007 THE BOLIVIAN GOVERNMENT REQUIRES U.S. CITIZENS TO OBTAIN A VISA TO ENTER

If you plan to travel to Bolivia as a tourist, you will need to obtain a tourist visa before arriving. If you plan to travel on business or request residency in Bolivia once you arrive, you must request a Visa de Objeto Determinado, not a tourist visa.

Please see my section on this new visa requirement for Americans.

UPDATE: As of November 2009 this requirement is STILL IN EFFECT.
