Tourist Visa & Visit Visa - Chile

A Tourist Visa and Visit Visa for Chile allow foreign nationals to enter the country for leisure, family visits, or short-term stays. The Tourist Visa is designed for travelers who want to explore Chile's natural wonders—such as Patagonia, the Atacama Desert, and vibrant cities like Santiago and Valparaíso. The Visit Visa is typically granted to those visiting family or friends, or for brief business engagements and cultural exchanges.

Both visas generally allow stays of up to 30 to 90 days, depending on nationality and purpose. In some cases, extensions may be requested through Chilean immigration. Visa processing times range from 5 to 10 working days, so it is recommended to apply at least 3 to 4 weeks before your intended travel date.
