Quick review for Australian travelers
La Moneda Palace, Presidential Building, Santiago
Ordinary Australian Passport holders do not require a visa to enter Chile (but Diplomatic and Official Passport holders do need).
Upon arrival, Australians will be issued a Tourist Card that will allow them entry into Chile for 90 days, and will be charged a U.S.$ 61 arrival fee (valid for multiple entries provided the passport is valid).
Passengers passports should be valid for six months beyond the period of intended stay.
Travelers should also be able to show documentation confirming their ability to financially maintain themselves during their stay, as well as tickets and entry documents for their next destination.
Those wishing to stay longer than 90 days can renew their tourist card at the immigration desk of any regional government office in Chile for an additional 90 days at a cost of U.S.$ 100.
Furthermore, any child under the age of 18 years old, foreigners included, traveling without one or both of their parents, both arriving or leaving the Chilean territory, should show documentation proving both parents (or the one not traveling with him or her), previously authorized his or her trip in writing, giving as details as possible. Please contact the nearest Chilean Consul in order to get an Authorization for Minor to Travel in due time.
