Your code is not what Austin recommended.
As I understand it, bootstrapping panel data must produce samples that
no longer look like panels, as sampling with replacement naturally
implies that some observations will occur twice or more. Unless there is
some extra white magic, such samples will be indigestible to commands
expecting panel data.

Thanks Austin:
Yes, lag operator might have been a cause and seems intuitive as well
but problem still remains the same. Same error message again with
bootstrap
ivprobit dependent x y l.z (zz = mz pz), twostep
vce(bootstrap,cluster(country))
repeated time values within panel
the most likely cause for this error is misspecifying the
cluster(),idcluster(), or group() option
r(451);
The only thing that comes to my mind is that data structure is defined
as panel before ivprobit but even in that case why it would produce
cluster-robust vce but not cluster-robust bootstrapped vce.
