Bolivia Declaracion Jurada de Domicilio
Complete your Bolivia Declaracion Jurada de Domicilio online before arrival — submit your sworn domicile declaration and present it to Bolivian customs on entry.
What Is the Bolivia Declaracion Jurada de Domicilio?
The Bolivia Declaracion Jurada de Domicilio is a sworn statement of address (declaración jurada) travellers are required to complete and present to Bolivian authorities on arrival when requested. The document collects the traveller’s local accommodation address, contact details, and a short declaration confirming the place where the visitor will be staying while in Bolivia. Many travelers complete it to meet immigration and customs checks at entry points.
Bolivia’s arrival and customs systems have shifted towards digital and printable pre‑arrival documents used alongside passport and vaccination checks. You can complete the declaration through official channels (Bolivia’s immigration and customs portals) or via DoVisa for guided completion, checks for common errors, and a downloadable confirmation PDF or email receipt to present at border control. After submission you typically receive a confirmation you can print or save on your phone — bring the printed copy or the email to immigration or customs counters.
This declaration is not a visa or an entry permit — it is an administrative sworn statement about your place of residence during your visit. Immigration decisions (entry stamp and permitted length of stay) continue to be made by border officials. Recent guidance from Bolivian authorities and international travel advisories emphasise that travellers should have a confirmed accommodation address and, where required, proof of yellow fever vaccination. The Bolivia Declaracion Jurada de Domicilio helps immigration and customs officers verify accommodation details and supports customs processing for some arriving travellers.

Bolivia Entry Requirements & Restrictions
Passport Validity
Your passport should have at least 6 months validity from the date of arrival and at least one blank page for the entry stamp. See the Bolivian Department of Immigration at migracion.gob.bo.
Vaccination Requirements
You must carry an International Certificate of Yellow Fever Vaccination if arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission — check official lists before travel; the CDC and GOV.UK advise checking risk-country lists.
Customs & Prohibited Items
Bolivia restricts and prohibits certain imports — including illegal drugs, weapons and harmful biological products. Declare items subject to duty using Bolivia’s customs forms. See the official list at Aduana Bolivia and the U.S. ITA summary on prohibited and restricted imports.
Currency Declaration Limits
Bolivia requires declaration of large sums of foreign currency on entry and exit. Official guidance notes currency declaration thresholds — for example, authorities list entry declarations for amounts in the tens of thousands of USD and exit reporting requirements; check embassy guidance before travel.
Travel Insurance & Accommodation
Carry proof of accommodation for your first night and recommended travel insurance. Immigration officers commonly ask for a booked hotel address or host details when reviewing the sworn domicile statement.
Travel Tips for Bolivia Visitors
Bolivia is a high‑altitude Andean nation with a range of climates from the altiplano around La Paz to tropical lowlands in Santa Cruz. Main international airports are Viru Viru International Airport (VVI) in Santa Cruz, El Alto / La Paz (LPB), and Jorge Wilstermann International Airport (CBB) in Cochabamba. Plan transfers carefully — overland connections can be slow due to roadblocks and demonstrations.
- Currency: Boliviano (BOB). USD may be accepted in tourist areas, but carry local currency for markets and taxis.
- Language: Spanish is the official language; English is limited outside major hotels and airports.
- Time zone: Bolivia Time (BOT) — GMT‑4.
- Altitude: La Paz and the altiplano are high altitude — acclimatise, stay hydrated, and avoid strenuous activity on day one.
- Safety: Roadblocks and strikes can happen with little notice — monitor local news and allow extra time to reach airports.
- Documentation: Have your accommodation address ready for your sworn domicile declaration and carry a printed confirmation.
- Transport: Use reputable taxi services or hotel-arranged transfers, especially at night; check flight status before travelling to the airport during periods of civil unrest.
- Local customs: Dress modestly for visits to religious or rural sites and follow guidance from hosts when visiting indigenous communities.
