๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ด Does a Bolivian need a visa for the Gambia ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฒ?

Visa required

Yes. Bolivian passport holders need a visa for the Gambia, applied for at an embassy or consulate of the Gambia before travelling.

What this means for your trip

You apply at an embassy, consulate or authorised visa centre of the destination, usually with an application form, passport photos, bank statements, travel itinerary and accommodation bookings.

Processing takes days to weeks, and some embassies require an interview; start the application well before your trip.

Your passport should normally be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and have blank pages for stamps; many countries apply this rule.
