Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit CL?

Indonesian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Chile. Entry is visa-free, but the permitted stay is capped at 30 days per entry (Indonesia carries Chile's "footnote 1" restriction, unlike the standard 90-day exemption most countries receive). Chile grants visa-free entry to Indonesian ordinary passport holders for tourism and short visits. However, unlike most visa-exempt nationalities (who receive up to 90 days), Indonesia is subject to Chile's reduced exemption: a maximum stay of 30 days per entry, the same category as Malaysia, Singapore and Macao. On arrival, travelers are admitted under the "Permanencia Transitoria" (transitory stay) permit issued by the Investigations Police (PDI) and receive a Tarjeta Única Migratoria (Tourist Card) which must be kept and surrendered on departure. No advance application, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is needed. Travelers must hold a passport valid for at least six months, proof of onward/return travel, evidence of sufficient funds, and accommodation details. The exemption covers tourism, business meetings, family visits and similar non-remunerated activities only; paid work requires a separate work permit. Reciprocally, Indonesia grants Chilean citizens 30 days visa-free, reflecting a reciprocity-based arrangement. There were no changes to this status verified as of mid-2026; Chile does not operate an ETA or ETIAS-type pre-authorization and is not part of the Schengen area.
