Entry Requirements for Chile

Requirements for International travelers who don’t reside permanently in Chile from May 18, 2023:
Chile’s Ministry of Health announced that the “Protected Borders Plan,” designed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been terminated. The resolution establishes that the request for the PCR test upon entering the country, the COVID-19 vaccination certificate, and the random testing of travelers have been eliminated. As a result, Chile no longer has sanitary requirements for passengers arriving from abroad.
