Bolivia classifies the Sudanese passport under Group III, its highest-restriction visa category. This means a visa is mandatory and cannot be obtained upon arrival at any airport or land border.
No Visa on Arrival
Unlike some nationalities, Sudanese citizens are not eligible for Visa on Arrival. The application must be submitted in advance, in person, at a Bolivian embassy or consulate, and is subject to prior consultation and approval from Bolivia's national migration authority (DIGEMIG) before the visa can be issued.
How Baeed Helps
Because this process is complex, Baeed provides full guidance through the embassy application: preparing your file, coordinating your appointment, following up on the DIGEMIG prior-consultation step, and reviewing your documents before submission to reduce the risk of delay or rejection.
Required Documents
- Passport valid for at least 6 months
- Recent passport-style photos with white background
- Completed visa application form
- Round-trip flight reservation
- Proof of accommodation or hotel booking
- Proof of sufficient funds
- Yellow fever vaccination certificate (a required document, not optional)
- Invitation letter or proof of purpose of visit (if applicable)
Processing Time
Because of the mandatory DIGEMIG prior-consultation requirement, processing typically takes 3 to 6 weeks. We recommend applying well ahead of your travel date.

Important Notes
- Important: Visa on Arrival is NOT available for Sudanese passport holders. Bolivia classifies Sudan under Group III (highest restriction tier), requiring an in-person application at a Bolivian embassy or consulate before travel.
- The visa is subject to mandatory prior consultation and approval from Bolivia's national migration authority (DIGEMIG), which extends processing time compared to other countries.
- A yellow fever vaccination certificate is an officially required document, not merely a recommendation.
