Chile: o que saber antes da viagem

O essencial

  • Declare plant and animal products to SAG, including food and handicrafts. The declaration is free; failing to declare can bring fines.
  • Rapa Nui requires its own entry form, return ticket and approved accommodation; normal tourist stays are limited to 30 days.
  • Prepare for regional differences: Atacama nights can freeze, central winters are wet and the south can be rainy year-round.

Entrada e vistos

Visa eligibility depends on nationality. The tourism authority identifies US and EU tourists as visa-exempt; check the consular requirements for other passports. Carry accommodation, onward travel and funds evidence. Rapa Nui has additional entry controls, approved accommodation requirements and a 30-day tourist limit.
