Do Canada passport holders need a visa to visit CL?

Canadian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Chile. You may enter visa-free and stay up to 90 days. There is no reciprocity fee (the former US$132 fee was abolished). You receive a tourist card (PDI tarjeta de turismo) at entry that you must keep and show on departure. As of 2026-05-31, Canadian citizens holding an ordinary passport can travel to Chile for tourism without a visa, entering under Chile's "Permanencia Transitoria" (short-stay) regime for up to 90 days. Chile's migration authority (SERMIG) confirms that no prior authorization or visa is required for nationals of visa-exempt countries including Canada. The reciprocity entry fee that Canadians (and US/Australian travelers) once paid on arrival at Santiago airport was eliminated, so there is no government fee for a tourist entry. At the border the International Police (PDI) issue a paper or electronic tourist card; you must retain it and present it when leaving Chile. Paid work is not permitted on this status. Travelers should hold a passport valid for the stay, proof of onward/return travel, and evidence of sufficient funds (roughly US$46/day). Stays can be extended once for a further 90 days online via SERMIG for a fee (about US$100). Chile is not in the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
