Overview
Bolivia maintains a Consulate General in Geneva rather than an embassy in Switzerland — bilateral diplomatic relations are handled from other European posts. The Geneva consulate serves as the primary consular point for Bolivian nationals in Switzerland and provides visa services for Swiss residents. Geneva is also home to a separate Bolivian Permanent Mission to the United Nations and other international organisations (located at Rue de Lausanne 139), reflecting the city's role as a major multilateral hub. The consulate is situated on Rue de Lausanne 72 with entrance via Rue Rothschild 50 on the second floor.
Visa Services
The consulate processes visa applications for Swiss citizens and residents travelling to Bolivia. Requirements vary by purpose — tourism, business, work, study — and applicants should consult the consulate website for current documentation and fee schedules before applying.
Consular Services
The consulate provides civil registry services, passport issuance and renewal, document legalisation, notarial acts and consular protection for Bolivian nationals in Switzerland.
Service Area
Serves the Swiss Confederation. Bolivia also maintains a Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Geneva at Rue de Lausanne 139 for multilateral affairs.
Appointment Information
