Transit in Viru Viru/Bolivia

Hello there,

I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with an international to international transit at Viru Viru International Airport in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. My nationality requires a visa to enter Bolivia, and I am planning to purchase a LATAM flight between Lima and Santiago with a 4-hour early morning layover in VVI. I was just wondering it there is an international transit area, and if one needs to go land side to do an international to international transit.

Thank you in advance

It's hard to say since we need more information, like nationality. You should use TIMATIC to check if you need a Visa for transit or not https://www.united.com/web/en-us/app...aspx?i=TIMATIC

Also, It's really worth to do this? A 4 hour layover for a O&D that has many direct flights seems overkill to me

I've used TIMATIC, and I know I don't need a transit visa given that I am connecting to another flight to a third country within 24 hours provided that I stay in the international transit area (airside). This leads back to my question, if there is an international transit area/procedure in Viru Viru, without going landside?

I will be connecting from another flight, and this one fits my schedule best without leaving me arriving in SCL in the early hours of the morning.
