Official evidence timeline

One group agreement or destination policy can support many passport relationships. Dates are recorded only when an official source establishes them.

  1. Visa-free

    Bolivia: eight named ordinary passports added to Group I

    The Foreign Ministry expressly says these eight nationalities entered Group I without a visa requirement. This is visa-free tourism/visitor access, not an ETA, eVisa or visa-on-arrival route.

    • The official announcement directly names this closed eight-nationality cohort as entering Group I without a visa requirement.
    • It does not establish a visa status for any unlisted nationality; no complement is inferred.
    • The source does not specify stay duration, entries, fee, extension, admission outcome, health, funds or onward-travel conditions. Residence, work, study, transit, crew, diplomatic, official, service, special-document and third-country-document routes are excluded.

  2. Visa-free

    Bolivia: Dominican ordinary passports visa-free for tourism

    Bolivia’s Foreign Ministry states that Dominican citizens could enter Bolivia without processing a tourism visa from 2 September 2024. This is visa-free access, not an ETA, eVisa or visa-on-arrival route.

    • The Ministry expressly identifies Dominican citizens entering Bolivia without a tourism visa and identifies ordinary passports in the underlying agreement.
    • No duration, entries, fee, extension, admission outcome, health, funds or onward-travel condition is inferred. Residence, work, study, transit, crew, diplomatic, official, service, special-document and third-country-document routes are excluded.

    Bolivia: Honduran ordinary passports visa-free for tourism or visit

    Bolivia’s Foreign Ministry states that Honduran and Bolivian citizens may travel between the two countries without a tourist or visit visa from 17 March 2024. This is visa-free access, not an ETA, eVisa or visa-on-arrival route.

    • The Ministry expressly makes the mutual tourist-or-visit visa suppression effective for Honduran citizens entering Bolivia.
    • The announcement refers to diplomatic, official and ordinary passports; this policy records only the ordinary-passport tourism/visit route.
    • No duration, entries, fee, extension, admission outcome, health, funds or onward-travel condition is inferred.

    Bolivia: Brazilian ordinary passports visa-free

    The officially promulgated Bolivia–Brazil agreement directly permits nationals of either party to enter the other without a visa and expressly preserves use of an international passport. This is visa-free access, not an ETA, eVisa or visa-on-arrival route.

    • This policy follows the agreement’s direct no-visa entry rule for Brazilian nationals travelling to Bolivia; it is not inferred from Mercosur membership or from a document alternative.
    • The agreement permits the use of an international passport even though it also provides a national-identity-document route.
    • It states a stay of up to 90 days, extendable for another 90 days in a year, for official, tourism or business activities. Other purpose and admission conditions remain outside this ordinary short-visitor baseline.

  5. Current official routeCitizenship

    Bolivian ordinary passport: citizenship/home entry

    Article 21 of the current Constitution gives Bolivians freedom of residence, permanence and movement in Bolivian territory, expressly including entry into the country. This supports the home/citizenship normalization.

    • This is a Bolivian ordinary-passport citizenship/home-entry normalization, not a visitor-visa, residence, dual-nationality, emergency-document, diplomatic, official, service, refugee, stateless or other special-document rule.
    • Migration registration/control and lawful identity or travel-document requirements remain applicable.

    Group I ordinary passports: visa-free tourism or visit

    The live Ministry country API assigns 54 mapped catalog nationalities to Group I. Later official measures override stale API rows for Honduras, Israel, El Salvador, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines; the resulting 58 named ordinary passports are visa-free for tourism or visits.

    • The scope is tourism or visit only, without a residence purpose. The source does not establish a nationality-wide ETA, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival requirement for this group.
    • Honduras follows the bilateral tourist/visit visa suppression effective 17 March 2024; El Salvador the ordinary-passport agreement effective 21 June 2024; the Dominican Republic its waiver effective 2 September 2024; and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines its agreement effective 11 November 2021.
    • The 1 December 2025 announcement controls South Korea, South Africa, Bulgaria, Malta, Romania, United Arab Emirates, Israel and United States. The API has not updated Israel and is not followed for that older Group III value.
    • Passport/document validity, identity, admission screening, health evidence where applicable, stay, purpose, extension and other migration conditions remain outside this nationality baseline. Diplomatic, official, service, emergency, refugee, stateless and other special documents are excluded.
    58 passport nationalities covered

    Germany, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Denmark, Ecuador, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, United States, Philippines, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, Norway, New Zealand, Netherlands, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Portugal, United Kingdom, Czechia, Dominican Republic, Romania, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkmenistan, Türkiye, Uruguay, Vatican City, Venezuela, United Arab Emirates, Israel, Honduras, El Salvador, St. Vincent and the Grenadines

  7. Current official routeVisa required

    Group II ordinary passports: tourist/visit visa or qualifying entry authorization

    The current Ministry country API assigns these 100 unambiguously mapped catalog nationalities to Group II. Current law requires a tourism/visit visa or a DIGEMIG tourist/visit entry authorization. Neither route is an electronically issued visa or an unconditional passport-wide visa on arrival.

    • Current law requires a Group II tourism/visit visa or a DIGEMIG tourist/visit entry authorization. The official portal is an application system, while the Ministry describes the visa itself as issued by consulates and embassies; neither source establishes electronic visa issuance.
    • DIGEMIG may issue the alternate authorization at a land or airport border, or exceptionally at an office, when the traveller could not access a Bolivian mission. It requires the same evidence and procedures as a visa and is not an unconditional nationality-wide visa-on-arrival route.
    • Applicants must meet the Ministry’s stated requirements, including ordinarily a valid passport, application declaration, itinerary/return travel, invitation or accommodation, means, photograph and yellow-fever evidence where applicable. Admission remains subject to control.
    • No residence, work, study, transit, diplomatic, official, service, emergency, refugee, stateless, special-document or third-country-document route is normalized.
    100 passport nationalities covered

    Albania, Andorra, Antigua and Barbuda, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, The Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brunei, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cape Verde Islands, Cameroon, China, Taiwan (Chinese Taipei), Cyprus, Comoro Islands, Côte d'Ivoire, Cuba, Djibouti, Dominica, Egypt, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Fiji, Gabon, The Gambia, Georgia, Ghana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guinea, Guyana, Haiti, India, Iran, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Madagascar, Malaysia, Malawi, Maldives, Mali, Morocco, Mauritius, Mauritania, Micronesia, Moldova, Monaco, Mongolia, Montenegro, Mozambique, Myanmar, Namibia, Nauru, Nepal, Nicaragua, Niger, North Korea, Oman, Qatar, Russian Federation, St. Kitts and Nevis, Samoa, São Tomé and Príncipe, Senegal, Serbia, Seychelles, Singapore, Sri Lanka, eSwatini, Suriname, Thailand, Tanzania, Tajikistan, Togo, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Ukraine, Uganda, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Vietnam, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Belize, St. Lucia, North Macedonia, San Marino

  8. Current official routeVisa required

    Group III ordinary passports: tourist/visit visa with prior DIGEMIG verification

    The current Ministry country API assigns these 18 unambiguously mapped catalog nationalities to Group III. The current framework requires a tourism/visit visa after verification and authorization by DIGEMIG; the duplicate contradictory Libya records are left unresolved.

    • This is a visa requirement with prior Group III verification and authorization by DIGEMIG. A border-issued authorization is possible only exceptionally after reasoned DIGEMIG authorization, so it is not a nationality-wide visa-on-arrival route and is not normalized as eVisa or ETA.
    • The Ministry’s electronic service accepts visa applications, but reviewed sources establish consular issuance and do not establish electronic issuance of the visa or electronic permission to board.
    • The general tourism/visit application requirements and final border-admission control apply. Residence, work, study, transit, diplomatic, official, service, emergency, refugee, stateless, special-document and third-country-document rules are excluded.
    18 passport nationalities covered

    Afghanistan, Angola, Bhutan, Cambodia, Chad, Indonesia, Iraq, Laos, Pakistan, Congo (Dem. Rep.), Rwanda, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Timor-Leste, Yemen, Congo (Rep.), Nigeria

    Palestinian ordinary passports: 2026 visa-free visitor cohort

    The State of Palestine's current ordinary-passport schedule expressly says no visa is required for short visits to Bolivia and Jordan.

    • The schedule states Bolivia is visa-free up to 90 days; it identifies Jordan as no-visa-required without a stated duration.
    • This is a destination visa classification, not a finding about Israeli-controlled, Egyptian or Jordanian crossing, permit, carrier, security, residence, work or final-admission requirements.

    HKSAR passport: Bolivia short-visitor visa on arrival

    Hong Kong Immigration's current HKSAR-passport dataset expressly says that holders can apply for a Bolivian tourist visa on arrival.

    • Full HKSAR passport holder; tourist visa on arrival for a stated stay of up to 30 days, subject to the destination's documentary and fee requirements.
    • BN(O), HKSAR Document of Identity, Mainland Chinese, Macao SAR, diplomatic, official and other travel documents are outside this policy.
