Bolivia situation guide
Understanding the options
Residence categories are something you ask about, they are not a decision the app makes for you. In this mission you ask which options exist, request an explanation of the difference between temporary and permanent, and ask which category might fit your case and what each one requires. It is fine to say you are unsure; that invites the office to guide you. Keep every line as an open question and do not pick a route on your own. The app helps you ask and verify with officials, never recommends a specific category.
