Bolivia situation guide
Presenting your case
A good case is short and factual: who you are, how you work and live, and what proof you can show. In this mission you practise saying these in plain Spanish and then asking which document fits each point, for example, “I work independently” or “I entered Bolivia on [date]”. Use placeholder ideas in your head, never real income, address, or personal figures in the app. End by inviting the office to tell you what is missing. The app helps you ask and verify with officials; it gives no legal advice and stores no real personal data.
