It follows the resignation of president Evo Morales after a near 14-year tenure and a number of senior officials on Sunday (10 November) following a disputed election result.


There have been violent clashes in capital La Paz and the neighbouring district of El Alto where Bolivia’s main international airport is situated.


The FCO has warned of disruption to airport access and flights in recent weeks where “increased levels of disruption” are possible.
