Brazil to Chile visa requirements

Q: Can I enter Chile with only my Brazilian ID card (RG)?

Yes. Under the Mercosur/UNASUR agreement, Brazilians may enter Chile with a valid national/state ID card in good condition. However, a passport is recommended for air travel and any onward international connections.

Q: How long can I stay in Chile as a Brazilian tourist?

Up to 90 days per entry. You can request an extension (prorroga) of up to 90 additional days at the Servicio Nacional de Migraciones, or do a short border exit and re-entry.

Q: Is there a reciprocity or entry fee for Brazilians?

No. Chile does not charge Brazilian citizens any reciprocity or entry fee. The former reciprocity fee applied only to certain nationalities and was abolished in 2014.

Q: What do I need to show at Chilean immigration?

A valid passport or ID card, proof of onward/return travel, accommodation details, and evidence of sufficient funds (about USD 46 per day). You should also complete the SAG agricultural declaration.

Q: Can I work in Chile on this visa-free entry?

No. Visa-free entry is for tourism and short visits only. To work or reside, apply for a Mercosur residence/temporary visa, which requires a background check and other documentation.

Brazilian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa to visit Chile for tourism. They can stay up to 90 days visa-free under the Mercosur/freedom-of-movement framework and may enter with either a valid passport or a Brazilian national ID card. Brazil is a founding member of Mercosur and Chile is an associate member, so Brazilian citizens enjoy visa-free entry to Chile for tourism. On arrival, travelers are granted a tourist stay of up to 90 days. Because of the Mercosur/UNASUR freedom-of-movement arrangement, Brazilians may enter Chile using either a valid ordinary passport or a current Brazilian national/state identity card (RG), though a passport is recommended for air travel and onward connections. No tourist visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required, and there is no reciprocity fee for Brazilian nationals (Chile abolished its US-only reciprocity fee in 2014). On entry, immigration issues a Tarjeta Unica Migratoria (digital entry record) that should be kept until departure. Travelers should carry proof of onward/return travel, proof of accommodation, and evidence of sufficient funds (roughly USD 46 per day). The 90-day stay can generally be extended once for an additional 90 days at the Servicio Nacional de Migraciones for a fee, or by a short border exit and re-entry. There is no Schengen rule applicable, as Chile is in South America. As of 2026-05-30 there is no eVisa, ETA, or ETIAS-type pre-travel authorization required of Brazilian tourists.
