Visa upon arrival for Egyptian citizens

by Carla Andrea
(Kuwait)

Hello, I am a Bolivian, married with an Egyptian... we do not live in Bolivia either in Egypt.. we are expats moving in the world.

We try to go yearly to Bolivia so in the countries we were and we are right now (Kuwait - Middle East) we do not find Bolivian embassy.
The only one in the whole middle east is in Egypt.. but we run out of time.. we have work the trip go and back from Bolivia take 4 days.. so to go Egypt and make a visa and then finally go Bolivia is a real headache.. make us loose lots of time, patient and money, this situation sadly stopped us many times to go Bolivia.

So I'm wondering if you could clear our doubts, about "Making a visa upon arrival in the migrations offices of the airport" with out going to the embassy first.. and so on as my husband is Egyptian he belong to the group 2 so for what i read i understood that he could do it.. could make his visa upon arrival.. but we are scared they return us back..

We tried to apply for nationality, but the answer is that he must be resident in Bolivia for at least 1 year because we got married in Bolivia.
as this is not possible, we need to find other solution to enter legally to Bolivia, what could you advice us?

thank you alot!

According to the Bolivian Ministry of Foreign Relations website www.rree.gob.bo people in Group 2 don't need to get the visa prior to travel. They are given the visa upon arrival at the airport.

Maybe you would like to contact them to be sure:
