Philippines to Chile visa requirements

Philippine ordinary passport holders need a tourist visa to enter Chile. Apply in advance at the Embassy of Chile in Manila before traveling; there is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa channel for Filipinos. Chile does not include the Philippines on its visa-waiver list, so Filipino ordinary passport holders must obtain a consular tourist visa before departure. This is confirmed by Chile's official migration service (SERMIG), which states that nationals of certain countries require prior authorization or a visa granted by a Chilean consulate abroad, and by Wikipedia's authoritative visa-policy and Philippine-passport pages, both of which list Chile as "visa required" for Philippine citizens. The visa is applied for in person at the Embassy of Chile in Manila (Liberty Center, Salcedo Village, Makati City). Applicants must show a valid passport, return/onward tickets, accommodation, a travel itinerary, and proof of funds (around USD 46 per day of stay). The tourist visa fee is approximately USD 30 for single entry or USD 60 for multiple entry. Once admitted, the tourist permit (Permanencia Transitoria) allows a stay of up to 90 days. Several commercial aggregator sites incorrectly claim Filipinos can enter visa-free; these conflict with official sources, so the conservative and correct answer is visa-required. Chile is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
