Citizens of ALL countries: To enter Chile, your passport must be valid for a minimum of 6 months after your travel dates. For example, if you are traveling to Chile in March, your passport must be valid through September of that year.

We strongly recommend making copies of your passport. Keep your original passport locked away in the safe of your hotel and carry a photocopy of your passport with you during your travels. You might also consider purchasing a passport holder to keep all your documents safe.
Always make sure to check for Chile Passport and Chile Visa requirements.

Traveling with Children:

Children under the age of 18, who are leaving Chile with only one parent, with friends or family, alone, or with a group MUST obtain an official authorization to travel from a Chilean notaria.
