Arrival Formalities

Passengers have to present their required travel documents, i.e. passport or identity card and the duly stamped visa if necessary, when they enter Chile.

Entering Chile, tourists are required to fill out a Tourist Card (typically handed out in the aircraft, otherwise the Tourist Cards are also available at the airport in Santiago). This Tourist Card has to be returned when leaving the country..

Please note that Chilean citizens and residents do not need a Tourist Card. For further information, please click here

Incoming passengers who hold an Australian or Mexican passport should pay a "Reciprocity Fee" before going through the International Police security checkpoint at the airport, and then continue to the Immigration Control.
