The Bolivian Consulate in LA is the worse. I dealt with many consulates since I travel constantly and this gotta to be the worst place. I’m not sure if this is how the Bolivian community serves each other. Buy the diplomacy here has come to die and it’s been buried. There is a couple of people who I’ve talked to and both are crass and complain of being busy. I wish Bolivia would replace or train these employees. Is so depressing to be impotent to not be able to process visas or passport for a trip. They don’t pick up the phone and their message machine is full and when they do they’re unhelpful. Also as today June 3, 2022 their phone is disconnected as in no longer in service message. I guess they finally closed and moved. Bolivia have more efficient consulate representation. Amen!

Excellent service. The people that work there are very polite, helpful, and accommodating. They may not respond to every email, but they have answered the phone every time I called. When I drove to LA to pick up new birth and marriage certificates, they were nice enough to let me apply for a passport while I was there. They even take your picture there so no need to worry about paying for pictures beforehand or whether the size is correct or not.

No one answers the phone and the mailbox is full. I've tried emailing them and no response. I've called the Houston Consulate who answered on the first ring, but told me there was nothing they could do for me except forward on my email to them. Got back one passport with visa, but not the other. Trip is less than a month away. Beyond frustrated.

This is my 3rd time for a visa and they have always been super responsive, friendly and on/before promised delivery time for visas. The visa process is fairly simple - fill online application, print and submit and pick up visa in 5 days! (They let you know if it’s ready earlier than that) I have had horrible experiences at Chilean and other consulates who never reply or answer phone calls or provide you correct information even when you visit them.

I do not think it is possible, because you have to prove your relationship with the deceased at the consulate

We live in New Jersey and seek tourist visas. Since the online applications site at the NYC consulate has been down we used the LA site to upload application and want to hand carry passport to, and pick up visa at the NYC consulate.Will that work?

Thats a great question. I was able to contact the consolate in Washington. You could try contacting them to ask. It seems that the other locations NEVER answer phones or emails. I know the LA location does not.

I've been calling the consulate and trying to get a hold of someone to ask about a tourist visa application, but the website isn't working anymore and nobody is answering. Does anyone know what's going on or who I should contact?

Tessa Rawie | Aug 22, 2019
Brian Wood | Aug 22, 2019

You have to go in person. I don't know why they can't answer the friggin phone. But the website will help you get your required information together. If it doesnt work, that's a shame.

Do children born in the USA from one or both parents that have a USA passport need a visa to enter Bolivia.

Elizabeth Morales | Aug 22, 2019
Jimena Lavayen | Aug 22, 2019

No, you just need to bring their birth certificate or a copy of it to show when they do inmigration in LA Paz or Sta. Cruz prove that they are your children and they won't have to pay for the visa.

My daughter is on vacation in San Francisco and now she wants to go to Santa Cruz Bolivia ... they can issue her a visa at the Bolivian consulate in Los Angeles ... we are of Nicaraguan nationality.

Due to the high volume of visa applications at this time, unless one lives near the offices of a Bolivian consulate, all visa application procedures will be carried out by mail and the official website of the Bolivian consulate general. But by suggestion it is better to call the consulate and find out what are the steps required to begin the process and if visiting the offices would help advance such process

How long is it from the airport to the consulate? Thank you

Jorge Cuenca | Aug 22, 2018
Orlando Rei | Aug 22, 2018

Depends on traffic but generally 36 to 46 minutes

Is the consulate close to Gray Hound? or to the airport

Jorge Cuenca | Aug 22, 2018
Orlando Rei | Aug 22, 2018

The Greyhound Station is located 8 to 9 miles from the Consulate and in downtown L.A. and LAX International Airport 18 to 19 miles from the Consulate. The closest form of transportation to the consulate would be taking the subway service in which the metro purple line 805 goes and approaches 6 blocks from the consulate. The consulate is located in the middle of downtown koreatown
