Bolivia situation guide
Temporary vs permanent
Here you practise the language of time and renewal: how long an option lasts, whether it can be renewed or extended, what extra requirements it carries, and whether you could change category later. These are questions about duration and verification, not legal interpretation, let the office tell you the vigencia and the plazo rather than working out the legal effect yourself. Keep your phrasing neutral and ask for confirmation. The app helps you ask and verify; it makes no claims about how a category affects your legal status.
