Visa requirements for Chilean citizens
Administrative entry restrictions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Visa requirements for Chilean citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Chile entering with a Chilean passport.

As of 2026, Chilean citizens have visa-free or visa on arrival access to 174 countries and territories, ranking the Chilean passport 13rd in the world according to the Henley Passport Index.[1] The Chilean passport is the most powerful passport in Latin America and is the 3rd most powerful overall in the Americas, according to the Henley Passport Index.[2]
As of 2026, the passports of Chile, Brunei, South Korea, and Israel are the only ones to allow visa-free access to all G8 countries.
Chile is also currently the only Latin American country that has both visa-waiver access to the United States and visa-free access to Canada. In addition, citizens of Chile do not need a passport when traveling to Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, or Uruguay, where they may just use their Cédula de Identidad or identity cards.[3]

Visa requirements
Visa requirements for holders of normal passports travelling for tourist purposes:
Chile is an associated member of Mercosur. As such, its citizens enjoy unlimited access to any of the Mercosur full members countries of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay or Uruguay and the other associated member countries of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru with the right to residence and work, with no requirement other than nationality.
Citizens of these nine countries (including Chile) may apply for a grant of "temporary residence" for up to 2 years in another country of the bloc.[4] Then, they may apply for "permanent residence" just before the term of their "temporary residence" expires.[5][6]

Non-visa restrictions
Blank passport pages
Many countries require a minimum number of blank pages to be available in the passport being presented, typically one or two pages.[432] Endorsement pages, which often appear after the visa pages, are not counted as being valid or available.
Vaccination

The African countries of Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Sierra Leone and Togo, South Sudan and Uganda, along with French Guiana in South America, require all incoming passengers older than nine months to one year[433], to have a current International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis.[434]
Some other countries require vaccination only if the passenger is coming from an infected area or has visited one recently or has transited for 12 hours in those countries: Algeria, Botswana, Cabo Verde, Chad, Djibouti, Egypt, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Lesotho, Libya, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, Seychelles, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Tunisia, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.[435][436]
Passport validity length
Very few countries, such as Paraguay, just require a valid passport on arrival.
However many countries and groupings now require only an identity card – especially from their neighbours. Other countries may have special bilateral arrangements that depart from the generality of their passport validity length policies to shorten the period of passport validity required for each other's citizens[437][438] or even accept passports that have already expired (but not been cancelled).[439]
Some countries, such as Japan,[440] Ireland and the United Kingdom,[441] require a passport valid throughout the period of the intended stay.
In the absence of specific bilateral agreements, countries requiring passports to be valid for at least 6 more months on arrival include Afghanistan, Algeria, Anguilla, Bahrain,[442] Bhutan, Botswana, British Virgin Islands, Brunei, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Cayman Islands, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Costa Rica, Côte d'Ivoire, Curaçao, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Fiji, Gabon, Guinea Bissau, Guyana, Haiti, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel,[443] Jordan, Kenya, Kiribati, Kuwait, Laos, Madagascar, Malaysia, Marshall Islands, Mongolia, Myanmar, Namibia, Nepal, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Oman, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Peru,[444] Philippines,[445] Qatar, Rwanda, Samoa, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Suriname, Tanzania, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Tokelau, Tonga, Turkey, Tuvalu, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, Vanuatu, Venezuela, and Vietnam.[446]
Countries requiring passports valid for at least 4 months on arrival include Micronesia and Zambia.
Countries requiring passports with a validity of at least 3 months beyond the date of intended departure include Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Honduras, Montenegro, Nauru, Moldova and New Zealand. Similarly, the EEA countries of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, all European Union countries (except Ireland) together with Switzerland also require 3 months validity beyond the date of the bearer's intended departure unless the bearer is an EEA or Swiss national.
Countries requiring passports valid for at least 3 months on arrival include Albania, North Macedonia, Panama, and Senegal.
Bermuda requires passports to be valid for at least 45 days upon entry.
Countries that require a passport validity of at least one month beyond the date of intended departure include Eritrea, Hong Kong, Lebanon, Macau, the Maldives[447] and South Africa.
Maximum passport age
Countries of the Schengen area require non-EU passports to be less than 10 years old upon entry.[448]
Criminal record
Some countries, including Australia, Canada, Fiji, New Zealand and the United States,[449] routinely deny entry to non-citizens who have a criminal record, while others impose restrictions depending on the type of conviction and the length of the sentence.
Persona non grata
The government of a country can declare a diplomat persona non grata, banning them from entering the country or expelling them if they have already entered. In non-diplomatic use, the authorities of a country may also declare a foreigner persona non grata permanently or temporarily, usually because of unlawful activity.[450]
Israeli stamps
Kuwait,[451] Lebanon,[452] Libya,[453] and Yemen[454] do not allow entry to people with passport stamps from Israel or whose passports have either a used or an unused Israeli visa, or where there is evidence of previous travel to Israel such as entry or exit stamps from neighbouring border posts in transit countries such as Jordan and Egypt.
To circumvent this Arab League boycott of Israel, the Israeli immigration services have now mostly ceased to stamp foreign nationals' passports on either entry to or exit from Israel (unless the entry is for some work-related purposes). Since 15 January 2013, Israel no longer stamps foreign passports at Ben Gurion Airport. Passports are still (as of 22 June 2017[update]) stamped at Erez when passing into and out of Gaza.[citation needed]
Iran refuses admission to holders of passports containing an Israeli visa or stamp that is less than 12 months old.
Biometrics
Several countries mandate that all travellers, or all foreign travellers, be fingerprinted on arrival and will refuse admission to or even arrest travellers who refuse to comply. In some countries, such as the United States, this may apply even to transit passengers who merely wish to change planes rather than go landside.[455]
Fingerprinting countries/regions include Afghanistan,[456][457] Argentina,[458] Brunei, Cambodia,[459] China,[460] Ethiopia,[461] Ghana, Guinea,[462] India, Japan,[463][464] Kenya (both fingerprints and a photo are taken),[465] Malaysia upon entry and departure,[466] Mongolia, Saudi Arabia,[467] the Schengen Area,[468] Singapore, South Korea,[469] Taiwan, Thailand,[470] Uganda,[471] the United Arab Emirates and the United States.
Many countries also require a photo be taken of people entering the country. The United States, which does not fully implement exit control formalities at its land frontiers (although long mandated by its own legislation),[472][473][474] intends to implement facial recognition for passengers departing from international airports to identify people who overstay their visa.[475]
Together with fingerprint and face recognition, iris scanning is one of three biometric identification technologies internationally standardised since 2006 by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for use in e-passports[476] and the United Arab Emirates conducts iris scanning on visitors who need to apply for a visa.[477][478] The United States Department of Homeland Security has announced plans to greatly increase the biometric data it collects at US borders.[479] In 2018, Singapore began trials of iris scanning at three land and maritime immigration checkpoints.[480][481]
