Consulado De Bolivia

Along with Chile, the Bolivian consulate is among the very best I have encountered in my travels. Located on the 10^th floor, the office is physically small, about the size of a large apartment, but the staff more than make up with warmth and hospitality. There is no air of arrogance or impatience — common sights in consulates and embassies — and the paperwork was explained to me with a great deal of patience. While I was there telephone calls were answered in person and the officer attending my visa application paid a great deal of personal attention to resolve a couple of tiny wrinkles. You get the impression the consular staff really care about making an impression and encouraging visitors. Overall, a first class experience and something other countries (including my own) would do well to emulate.
