Do Finland passport holders need a visa to visit CL?
No visa required. Finnish (FI) ordinary passport holders can enter Chile visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days under Chile's Permanencia Transitoria (transitory stay) regime. As of 2026-05-30, Finland is on Chile's list of visa-exempt nationalities. A Finnish ordinary passport holder travelling for tourism does not need a visa and is granted a Permanencia Transitoria (transitory/tourist stay) of up to 90 days, confirmed by both Chile's Servicio Nacional de Migraciones (SERMIG) and the official government tourism authority Chile Travel. On arrival, the Policia de Investigaciones (PDI) issues a Tarjeta Unica Migratoria (tourist card) recording the authorised stay; keep it for the entire trip and present it on exit. There is no reciprocity fee for Finnish citizens (Chile abolished its reciprocity-fee scheme for the remaining affected nationalities years ago, and Finland was never subject to it). Chile is in South America and is NOT part of the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route. The 90-day permit can be extended once (a 'prorroga') for another 90 days through SERMIG for a fee, or by leaving and re-entering. Special note: stays in Rapa Nui (Easter Island) are capped at 30 days and are non-extendable, with a separate entry form (FUI). Travellers should hold a passport valid for the duration of stay, proof of onward/return travel, and evidence of sufficient funds (commonly cited as around USD 46 per day).
