Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Chile visa requirements

Taiwan ordinary passport holders can enter Chile visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days. No visa or eVisa is required before travel. Holders of an ordinary Republic of China (Taiwan) passport do not need a visa to visit Chile for tourism, business, family visits or similar short stays. The visa-free arrangement has been in effect since 1 January 2016 and permits a stay of up to 90 days per entry. On arrival, travelers are issued a Tarjeta de Turismo (Tourist Card / PDI card) by the Investigations Police (PDI), which must be kept and surrendered on departure. The passport should be valid for at least six months. Chile is not part of the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. The visa-free entry covers tourism, business and visiting relatives but excludes paid work, study, immigration or long-term residence, which require the appropriate visa from the Chilean immigration authority (Servicio Nacional de Migraciones) or a Chilean consulate. The 90-day stay can be extended once for a further 90 days inside Chile for a fee. Border officials may ask for proof of onward/return travel and sufficient funds.
