One reply on “BMT 85: Ask Jackie Session 6 – Apartments, Insurance, Transportation, Beer, and More”
Hi Chris! Are you in the BMT Community on Facebook? This would be a good question to ask there to get experiences from people who have done it. You should not need to get it this far in advance if you can’t even use it yet, which seems strange to me. Just wait and get it later – you can most likely get it on arrival (just check closer to the date and make sure you can do this, make sure you have all your proper paperwork), or you can always find a Bolivian embassy once you are on the road and get a visa issued there. I haven’t been to Bolivia yet, but I believe that as a US citizen, you can get it at any airport or land border crossing upon entry to Bolivia, just don’t forget your proof of Yellow Fever Vaccination! 😉
