What we were told by the Cancillería here in Santa Cruz, Bolivia is that if there is no Bolivian consulate in your country and you plan to travel to Bolivia, you can use a Bolivian consulate in any country near to you. Try www.embassiesabroad.com to find one.
Be sure to
read our visa information page to see which visa you need (tourist or specific purpose visa, depending on whether you are coming as a tourist or plan to apply for residency).
If you are coming to apply for residency, most countries must get the visa prior to arrival. With tourist visas things are different. Some people have to get them prior to traveling, some can get them upon arrival at the airport, and some don't need them at all - everything depends on the agreements that exist between Bolivia and different countries.
After reading our visa information page, if you still have questions, you can enter them in our
Bolivia visa forum and we'll do our best to find and post the information you need.
