Overview
Bolivia Decree Supreme No. 1923, in the official migration legislation, defines the multiple visa as a one-year visa, renewable for similar periods, for foreign nationals carrying out investment and business activities who need periodic entry and exit from Bolivian territory. It is a mobility route for business and investment activity, not a general residence grant by itself. Applicants should confirm the current consular filing process, company evidence and any migration follow-up requirement before relying on it.
