Issue with Bolivian Tourist Visa

Hi everyone, actually I have a 6-month tourist visa for Bolivia, but a friend is telling me I can’t enter Bolivia with this visa. I don’t understand why—he says I need a transit visa instead. Could someone please clarify this for me? I’m really confused.

Hi there, Probably a transit visa for the country where you have a layover. Your flight isn’t going directly to Bolivia—where does it stop? In France?

Not in France, but in Brazil. But it seems Brazil is no longer accepting layovers according to some sources
