What is the Chile Tourist Card?

It is the Tarjeta de Turismo issued by the Investigative Police (PDI) to visa-free visitors on arrival, granting a stay of up to 90 days. There is no eVisa for eligible nationalities.

Can a US or Canadian visa help me enter Chile?

Yes. Citizens of certain countries, including China and India, may enter visa-free if they hold a valid US or Canadian visa (with at least six months validity) or a US green card.

What documents do I need?

A passport valid for at least six months from arrival, proof of onward or return travel and proof of accommodation. We review each document before you travel.

How long can I stay in Chile?

The Tourist Card usually grants up to 90 days, which can be extended once at the Servicio Nacional de Migraciones.

How much does a Chile visa cost?

A Chile Tourist Card costs $65 through VisitsVisa. The $65 price is all-inclusive — the government fee and our service fee are already bundled in, so there are no hidden charges at checkout. Every traveller on the trip — including children and infants — needs their own Chile visa, and you can add multiple applicants to a single order and pay together in one checkout.

How long does Chile visa processing take?

Standard Chile visa processing usually takes 3 days. If you are travelling soon, choose Express at checkout and we prioritise your application, with delivery typically within 24 hours. We recommend applying a few days before departure so your Chile eVisa is confirmed well ahead of your flight.

How long is a Chile visa valid and how long can I stay?

The Chile Tourist Card permits a stay of Up to 90 days and is valid for 90 days from issue (single entry). Make sure your passport has at least six months of validity remaining from your date of arrival, as this is the most common reason Chile applications are refused.
