Even though Chile and Brazil are part of Mercosur, many Brazilians have doubts about the documents they need to bring to enter Chile. Just like any other international trip, you need to be organized.

Therefore, even if there is a diplomatic agreement between the countries, take the time to check the documentation. So, do you want to know what you need to do to travel to this enchanting country? We will help you.

Passport

Although many tourists feel safer traveling with a passport to Chile, this document is not actually necessary. If you go to another country after visiting Chile, you can take it in your suitcase without any problems.

Vaccination card

Even though most airlines no longer require proof of vaccination against Covid-19, it's a good idea to take it with you. Many establishments in Chile still ask for a Mobility Pass, and you will need to prove your vaccination.

Identity document

Unlike your passport, taking your ID with you to travel to Chile is mandatory. This is the one you will present at immigration, ok? In fact, pay attention to those who intend to take their driver's license! This document is not accepted upon entry into the country!

Visa

Although neither a passport nor a visa are required to visit Chile, it is important to keep an eye on the total time of your visit. If you are going as a tourist, you have a limit of up to 90 days to stay in the country.

Do I need Travel Insurance to enter the country?

First of all, it is important to highlight that Travel Insurance is very important regardless of the requirements of each country. After all, it is what will protect your trip against any unforeseen events that may happen.

That said, it is common for many countries to require a Travel Insurance policy upon immigration, as is the case in many European destinations. Although this is not the case in Chile, hiring it is recommended.
