Week 1 — Your Path
- Residency/visa map; choosing the right path.
- Documents checklist; translations, notarization, apostilles.
- Key Spanish at counters: explaining your case, asking for forms.
Visas & Residency
For foreigners handling immigration in Bolivia. We’ll help you understand which visa/residency fits your case, prepare documents and translations, book appointments, and practice the Spanish you need to speak to Migración and other offices with confidence.
What you’ll do and learn
We’ll clarify the visa/residency pathways (tourist extensions, specific purpose, work/study, family, temporary/permanent), what each requires, and how to avoid common mistakes. In class you’ll use clear Spanish to ask questions, explain your situation, and handle documents and fees. We’ll walk through appointment booking steps, timelines, and how to follow up if something is delayed.
You’ll practice office dialogues (Matrícula Consular, Antecedentes, Apostilles, Notaries), what to bring, and how to ask for help at the counter. We’ll cover safety, copies, stamps, and payments — plus how to keep a simple paper trail that makes future renewals easier.
