Egypt to Chile visa requirements

Q: Where do I apply for the Chile tourist visa in Egypt?

Apply by appointment at the Embassy of Chile in Cairo. Consular support is also available in Alexandria and Port Said.

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

Chile's short-stay (Permanencia Transitoria) permit allows admitted visitors up to 90 days, though the visa sticker is often issued for a shorter period at consular discretion.

Q: Is Chile part of the Schengen Area?

No. Chile is in South America and is not a Schengen country, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Chile has its own entry rules.

Q: How much does the Chile tourist visa cost?

The tourist visa fee is approximately USD 100, though it can vary by reciprocity. Confirm the current amount with the Embassy of Chile in Cairo.

Q: What documents do I need?

A passport valid 6+ months, application form, photos, bank statements showing sufficient funds, accommodation booking, return flight reservation, and travel insurance.

Yes, Egyptian ordinary passport holders need a visa to visit Chile. There is no visa-free, visa-on-arrival, or eVisa channel for tourism. You must apply for a consular tourist visa in advance at the Chilean Embassy in Cairo before you travel. Chile does not grant visa-free entry to holders of Egyptian ordinary passports. Only Egyptian diplomatic and official/service passport holders are visa-exempt; ordinary passport holders traveling for tourism must obtain a consular short-stay (Permanencia Transitoria / tourist) visa before arrival. Chile does not currently operate an eVisa or visa-on-arrival scheme for Egyptian nationals, so the application is made in person by appointment at the Embassy of Chile in Cairo (with honorary/consular support also in Alexandria and Port Said). The visa is typically issued as a passport sticker for a short tourist stay. Chile is not part of the Schengen Area, so the European Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply here; Chilean short-stay permits separately allow up to 90 days for admitted visitors. Applicants should plan for documentation proving sufficient funds, accommodation, return travel, and travel insurance. Because no no-visa channel exists, travelers should secure the visa well ahead of departure.
