Discover Chile, a unique and vibrant destination in South America! To visit our spectacular country, you only need to know our entry requirements and present your identification document (ID card or passport). Depending on your place of origin, you might require a visa.
If you are a citizen of South America, the European Union, the United States, Canada, or Australia, you will not need a visa to enter as a tourist.
It is mandatory to declare any animal or plant products you bring into our country. This is done on the Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG) form, which will be provided to you upon entering Chile. Failing to declare a product is a serious offense: you risk the confiscation of the product and potentially very high fines. When in doubt, always declare!
