As of 1st December 2014, Bolivian nationals will no longer need a visa for airside transit (DATV) in the UK. This means they don’t need a visa if they will be landing temporarily in British territory, remaining in the transit until they take their flight connection, without passing through immigration and customs control.

All other visa requirements for Bolivian nationals, including other forms of transit, are in place until further notice.

Priority Visa Service

The Priority Visa Service was introduced in Bolivia in November 2013. By using this service, applicants can have a reply and their passport returned to them in a maximum of 7 working days.
