Begining this March, American citizens traveling to Bolivia will require a visa. Bolivian President Evo Morales said the decision was an issue of reciprocity because the United States requires Bolivian tourists to apply for a visa. Many believe that the act will cause the already impoverished country to lose millions in tourist revenue, but Morales is defiant.
The visas would be issued by Bolivia's 13 consulates in the United States, and Bolivia is taking suggestions from the U.S. Embassy in La Paz so the new requirement can be implemented efficiently, No word on any cost of the visa.
