Ireland announces new visa requirement for Bolivian nationals

On 8 September 2023, the Irish Department of Justice announced that effective 12 September 2023, all Bolivian nationals will be required to obtain a visa before traveling to Ireland. In addition, Bolivian nationals who travel through Ireland en route to another destination will be required to obtain a transit visa. The introduction of a visa requirement for Bolivian nationals is aimed at aligning Ireland's immigration regulations with the current visa rules in the UK and Schengen Area.
