By: Hernan Claro - 26 February, 2025

If you are keen on coming to Chile from a European country, you must know the entry requirements for our country. We will answer your questions!
If you are from Spain, Germany, France, Italy or from the United Kingdom, and you are planning on traveling to Chile this year, it is necessary that you know every entry requirement for Chile, with attractive nature located at the end of the world.
Do I need a VISA for Chile?
While some countries from around the world need previous authorization to enter Chile or a VISA, the majority of the nations of the European Union don’t need it if the stay is up to 90 days.
As a result of this, if you have a Spanish, German, French, Italian, or British passport, you won’t have to go through any additional procedure.
Bear in mind that if you want to stay for more than 90 days in the country, you may ask for an extension for your stay at the Servicio Nacional de Migraciones, dependent on the Home Office.
