What are the consequences of overstaying your Bolivia travel visa?

Hello, I was just wondering what would happen if you end up staying in Bolivia longer than the visa permits? would you get jail time? The reason I ask is because I am going to Bolivia for 4 months to volunteer and it requires a special purpose visa, and I read in a website that it may take 2 weeks to 4 months to process the extension of the visa.

Thank you in advance

Just a Fine, No Jail Time
by: Altiplano Bolivia

If you overstay you will be fined (multa) 20 Bolivianos per day. However extending your special purpose Visa is easy. It just takes a couple of hours and costs USD85.00. However we recommend that you apply for a 1 Year Temporary Residents Visa (1 Año Temporal) as soon as you arrive. This will allow you to stay for 1 year without the hassle of reapplying or the risk of the multa.
