Tourist Card

If you have not already arranged to obtain one, you will receive a Tourist Card upon entering Chile. This card is issued at the immigration desk at the Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport in Santiago. Citizens of Australia , New Zealand , Great Britain , Canada , the USA , South Africa , as well as most EU countries do not need a visa , just their passport. Upon entry, they will receive a "Tarjeta de Turismo" (Tourist Card) which is valid for 90 days and has to be presented when leaving the country. The card is free for citizens of most countries, but Americans pay $61 USD, Australians pay $30 USD and Canadians pay $55 USD. The Tourist Card is valid for 90 days. It can be extended for a fee.

Find a safe place for this inconspicuous piece of paper! If you do loose it, get a replacement in plenty of time before your departure (Policía Internacional in Santiago, General Borgoño 1052, or at a police station in one of the regions.) Those trying to leave without the card will most likely miss their flight or be kept waiting at the border for a long time.

Citizens of most African , Asian and formerly Soviet States will need a tourist visa that can be applied for at any Chilean Consulate.

Fees

Citizens of the USA, Canada, Australia and Mexico have to pay an entry fee when travelling through Santiago airport (not at any other point) that corresponds to the amount Chileans are charged when travelling to the respective country: US citizens USD 100.00, Canadians USD 55.00, Australians USD 34.00, Mexicans USD 15.00.

Extension

The Tourist Card is easiest extended by leaving and re-entering the country (can be done on the same day.) Many foreigners use this loophole to extend their stay in Chile with this totally legal procedure that can be repeated virtually forever. However, there have been cases in which the border officials became suspicious the third or fourth time, started asking uncomfortable questions, and renewed the Tourist Card only for 30 days.

An official extension through a police station (without leaving the country) is only meant to be done once for another 90 days, and it has to be applied for one month before the card expires from the Extranjer�a in Santiago or any regional capital. The price is USD 100.00; Santiago address: San Antonio 580, 2nd floor, Santiago Centro, Metro Santa Lucía, Mon to Fri 8:30 am to 2 pm. Bring plenty of time!
