Bolivia Suspends Israel Visa Exemption
Bolivia Suspends Israel Visa Exemption
By Staff Writers, teleSUR
Sunday, Aug 31, 2014
Bolivia now categorizes Israel as a "terrorist state" after its assault on Gaza.
Israelis wanting to visit Bolivia will now have to request a visa, effective from August 30, said an official source from the Migration Office.
In July President Evo Morales announced “the firm decision to revoke the visa agreement with Israel of August 17, 1972, signed during the Bolivian dictatorship and that allowed Israeli citizens to enter Bolivia freely without even an entry visa."
Between 10,000 and 12,000 Israeli tourists visit Bolivia each year, according to the Migration Office.
