🇰🇷South Korea🇨🇱ChileKR-CL South Korea to Chile visa requirements
South Korean ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Chile. They may enter visa-free and stay up to 90 days per visit. Chile grants visa-free entry to holders of South Korean ordinary passports for tourism, business, family visits and other short stays of up to 90 days. The traveler simply presents a valid passport at the port of entry (most arrive at Santiago's Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport) and is admitted by Servicio Nacional de Migraciones / PDI border police. Chile is in South America, not the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply, and there is no eVisa, visa-on-arrival or electronic travel authorization to obtain in advance. Chile previously charged a "reciprocity fee" to a few nationalities (notably US citizens), but that fee was abolished in 2014 and never applied to South Korean nationals. Best practice: carry a passport valid for at least 6 months, hold proof of onward/return travel and evidence of sufficient funds, and the 90-day period can generally be extended once for a further 90 days by paying a fee at Servicio Nacional de Migraciones. Always reconfirm with the Chilean Embassy in Seoul before travel, as policies can change.
