  A growing number of countries are turning down asylum requests from NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
 
  These countries include India, Austria and Brazil.
 
  Ecuador is also on-record saying it can't consider Snowden's asylum request until he reaches their territory.
 
  Wikileaks, which is offering legal help to Snowden, says he has requests before 21 different countries for save harbor.
 
  He's also reportedly withdrawn his asylum request with Russia.
 
  The Bolivian government says it will consider an appeal from Snowden.
 
  Bolivian Vice President Alvaro Linera.
 
  "We have not received an official request. What I understand is that this list which has come out on the internet is a list of the possible countries where he could request asylum. But officially, no request has been made. But if it does, President Morales has given a reply regarding the study that will be undertaken."
 
  Snowden remains stuck in the international transit lounge at Moscow's main airport.
 
  He's unable to travel, as the US government has revoked his passport.
