Bolivia Passenger Locator Form

Q: What is the Bolivia Passenger Locator Form?

The Bolivia Passenger Locator Form is the official DGAC passenger health and contact declaration for international arrivals. It collects your contact, flight and accommodation details and any relevant vaccination certificates. Complete it before departure using the DGAC PDF or let DoVisa guide you — DGAC passenger form (PDF) . Apply with guided support to avoid errors.

Q: Who needs the Bolivia Passenger Locator Form?

All international passengers who will clear Bolivian immigration must complete the declaration before arrival. Exemptions include Bolivian passport holders, crew on duty, diplomatic passport holders, and transit passengers who remain airside. Check country guidance on U.S. Embassy Bolivia and our Bolivia page at Bolivia visa information .

Q: What happens if I arrive without the declaration?

Arriving without the completed passenger locator/health declaration can cause delays at immigration, require you to complete the paper form at the airport, and may jeopardise onward transfers. Airlines may also check the declaration at departure — complete it online before travel to avoid delays. Apply now to have your details checked.

Q: Can I edit or correct my application after submission?

If you spot an error in your submitted data, correct it before your flight — use the DGAC guidance and reissue the confirmation PDF where possible. Contact DoVisa support for help correcting passenger details and reissuing a valid confirmation email before departure.

Q: Is a departure declaration also required for Bolivia Passenger Locator Form?

No — the passenger locator is an inbound health and contact declaration for arrival processing. There is no separate outbound departure declaration required for standard international departures; follow airline and DGAC instructions for any return documentation. For the official DGAC form see the PDF linked above.

Q: Which airports and seaports accept this document?

Present the completed declaration at immigration at all Bolivian international entry points, including El Alto International Airport (LPB), Viru Viru International Airport (VVI), and Jorge Wilstermann International Airport (CBB). If arriving by land or sea, show it at the port of entry during immigration processing.

Q: Can I apply from my mobile phone?

Yes. The DGAC PDF can be completed and saved on a mobile device and DoVisa supports guided mobile submission. Save a screenshot and the confirmation PDF offline in case airport Wi‑Fi is unreliable. Start on mobile and we’ll optimise your files for immigration checks.

Q: How far in advance should I apply for the declaration?

Submit the declaration shortly before departure — ideally 24–72 hours prior to your scheduled international flight so you can correct errors if needed. Airlines commonly verify the declaration at check-in; have your confirmation ready. Apply now to ensure everything is correct before you fly.

Q: What is the step-by-step application process?

The usual process is: 1) Gather passport, flight and accommodation details and vaccination certificates; 2) Complete the DGAC passenger locator/health form or use DoVisa to enter data; 3) Review and save the confirmation PDF/email; 4) Present confirmation to your airline at check-in and to immigration on arrival. Use the DGAC PDF for field guidance: DGAC passenger form (PDF) .

Q: Do children need their own Bolivia Passenger Locator Form?

Yes. Each traveller requires their own declaration or a completed entry for minors filled out by an accompanying adult. One adult in the family may complete forms for dependants but ensure each child’s passport and contact details are entered accurately.

What Is the Bolivia Passenger Locator Form?

The Bolivia Passenger Locator Form is an official international passenger health and contact declaration used by Bolivian authorities to collect arrival contact details, flight and accommodation information, and basic health screening data for incoming travellers. The paper-and-digital tool is issued and published by the Bolivian Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (DGAC) and the Ministry of Health for inbound international flights and is intended to support public-health tracing and immigration processing.

The form has been available in digital and printable PDF formats since health-screening measures were introduced for international travel. For international flights you can complete the DGAC passenger health form (PDF) ahead of departure or use a guided service like DoVisa to fill the fields, confirm data accuracy, and receive a clear confirmation to present to your airline and immigration authorities. On approval you receive a downloadable confirmation (PDF) or printed receipt — keep a copy for check-in and arrival checks.

This document is a pre-arrival contact & health declaration — it is not a visa or entry permit. Completion of the form does not guarantee admission; immigration officers decide final entry based on your passport, purpose of travel, vaccination certificates (where required), and on-the-spot checks. Recent policy updates emphasize digital completion for international flights and instruct one adult per family to complete the form for accompanying minors; the official DGAC PDF provides the current format and submission instructions.

For full Bolivia entry rules see Bolivia visa information and review the official passenger health form on the DGAC site (DGAC — International Flights passenger form (PDF)). When you're ready, Apply now to have your details checked and the declaration completed correctly before departure.

Bolivia Entry Requirements & Restrictions

Passport Validity

Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months from your date of arrival. You must also have a blank page available for entry/exit stamps and carry a copy of your onward or return travel itinerary. See the U.S. Embassy guidance at bo.usembassy.gov.

Yellow Fever & Vaccination Advice

Bolivia requires a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate for travellers arriving from or transiting through areas with yellow fever risk — follow CDC guidance and present the International Certificate of Vaccination when requested. The CDC also lists current travel health notices (chikungunya outbreaks, measles) at CDC Bolivia.

Customs, Prohibited & Restricted Items

Declare goods subject to duty and follow Bolivian customs rules — export of cultural or archaeological items is prohibited without authorisation. See Bolivia Customs and the GOV.UK entry guidance for the full list of restrictions and declaration procedures at GOV.UK — Bolivia entry requirements.

Passenger Locator & Health Declaration

International flights should submit the official passenger locator/health declaration before travel (one adult per family completes a form for dependants) — the DGAC PDF form contains the required fields and checklist: DGAC passenger form (PDF).

Health Insurance & Medical Advice

Travel insurance is strongly recommended. Medical care outside major cities is limited; serious cases may require evacuation to La Paz or transfer to neighbouring countries. Consult your doctor well before travel and carry prescription medicines with original prescriptions.

Travel Tips for Bolivia Visitors

Bolivia is a high-altitude country with diverse regions — the Andes highlands, the Amazon basin and the tropical lowlands. Main international arrival airports include El Alto International Airport (LPB) serving La Paz, Viru Viru International Airport (VVI) for Santa Cruz, and Jorge Wilstermann International Airport (CBB) in Cochabamba. Transfers from airports into city centres can be lengthy; allow extra time for altitude adjustment and transport disruptions from local strikes or roadblocks.

Currency: Boliviano (BOB). US dollars are often accepted in tourist areas — carry local cash for markets and regional services.
Language: Spanish is the principal official language; Aymara and Quechua are widely spoken. English is commonly available in hotels and tourist services but limited elsewhere.
Time zone: Bolivia Time is GMT-4 with no daylight saving.
Altitude: Many travellers experience altitude sickness — acclimatise in La Paz or take it easy on arrival, stay hydrated, and avoid heavy exertion the first 24–48 hours.
Roadblocks & demonstrations: Roadblocks and strikes can cause delays to airport transfers — monitor local news and confirm flights with your airline.
Documentation: Keep your passenger locator confirmation and vaccination certificates handy for check-in and arrival checks; one adult should complete forms for children.
Safety: Use reputable taxi services, avoid displaying valuables, and register travel plans with your embassy if required.
