    Chile: named ordinary passports exempt from transient-stay visa

    Chile’s current consular transient-stay schedule expressly marks these named nationality rows “NO” under whether a transient-stay visa is required. This is a visa-free short-visitor baseline, not an ETA, eVisa or visa-on-arrival route.

    • The current schedule directly assigns these nationality rows “NO” under the column asking whether a transient-stay visa is required; it is not an inferred complement.
    • The schedule’s maximum stay and any note vary by nationality. This candidate records only the ordinary-passport short-visitor access status and does not impose a uniform duration.
    • The Tourist Card is issued by PDI to people who have already entered as tourists; it is not an ETA, eVisa or visa on arrival.
    • Residence, third-country-visa, work, study, transit, crew, diplomatic, official, service, territory, special-document and final-admission cases are excluded.

  2. Current official routeVisa required

    Chile: named ordinary passports require advance transient-stay visa

    Chile’s current consular transient-stay schedule expressly marks these named nationality rows “SI” under whether a transient-stay visa is required. The authoritative process says a prior authorization or visa is granted by Chilean consulates, so the normalized baseline is visa_required rather than eVisa or visa on arrival.

    • The current schedule directly assigns these nationality rows “SI” under the column asking whether a transient-stay visa is required; it is not an inferred complement.
    • Chile’s authority describes the authorization or visa as granted by a Chilean consulate. Submitting material through the consular platform does not by itself make the route an eVisa.
    • The schedule’s conditional exemptions for specified holders of foreign visas, Green Cards or permanent residence are not used to change a passport-wide baseline.
    • No nationality-wide visa-on-arrival, ETA or eVisa route is established by the cited schedule. Residence, work, study, transit, crew, diplomatic, official, service, territory, special-document and final-admission cases are excluded.

  3. Current official routeCitizenship

    Chilean citizens: citizenship entry status

    Chile's Foreign Ministry provides Chileans abroad without valid identity documents a safe-conduct document to travel to Chile. An ordinary Chilean passport therefore represents citizenship, not a foreign visitor-visa route.

    • This is supported by the Foreign Ministry's direct Chilean return-document route, rather than inferred solely from matching catalog codes.
    • It does not determine treatment of a dual national presenting a different passport, an individual document-validity issue, departure controls, or any foreign visitor status.

    Kosovo ordinary passports: Chile prior transient-stay visa

    Chile's current 6 March 2026 transient-stay table expressly marks Kosovo [12] ‘SI’ in response to whether a visa is required. Chile's consular process requires application before travel and delivers an approved visa electronically for presentation with the current travel document.

    • The current table's Kosovo row is ‘KOSOVO [12] SI’, under the heading ‘¿REQUIERE VISA DE PERMANENCIA TRANSITORIA?’, with a maximum 90-day stay shown for simple and multiple visas.
    • Footnote [12] says Chile does not recognise the Republic of Kosovo as a subject of international law; the same table nevertheless expressly assigns the Kosovo row the prior-visa result.
    • The traveler applies through Chile's online Consular Services, uploads the current passport's personal-data page and other required documents, and is notified whether the application is approved or refused.
    • After approval and payment instructions, the consulate sends the visa electronically; the traveler must print it and carry it with a valid travel document at entry. Final admission remains subject to Chilean immigration control.
    • Work, residence, diplomatic, official, service, transit, invitation, third-country-document and other special routes remain outside this ordinary short-visitor classification.
