CHILE

International tourists must submit their travel documents, i.e.valid identity card, passport and, depending on your country of origin, the duly stamped visa.

Citizens from other southamerican countries, European Union, U.S, Canada and Australia don't need a tourist visa. Nevertheless, some nationals must pay a Reciprocity Tax before going through the International Police security checkpoint.

Criminal/police records can cause international visitors to be refused entry in Chile (as in many other countries). Chile has the legitimate right to expel any immigrant due to police or criminal backgrounds.

Remember that you must declare all products of plant and animal origin you are entering into Chile by filling in the Customs/SAG Affidavit Form that will be submitted to SAG. In this way you are helping to protect the plants and animals in Chile's fertile ecosystem.

Upon entering Chile (at every airport and/or border crossing point) your police backgrounds will be checked at the International Police security checkpoints.

Chile stretches over 4,300 km (2,670 mi) north to south and you can enter the country using diverse modes of transportation including air travel, land and cruise arrivals.
