Tourist Visa from Nigeria to Chile
- A visitor’s visa is required for tourist visits to Chile.
- The Chilean visa application process has become simplified but you must apply for and secure this visa in your home country before travelling. It is not possible to apply for this visa in Chile.
- You can visit this PAGE to see what the application form looks like.
- Fill all required spaces and upload all the documents in the checklist and then submit your visa.
- Be sure not to miss any document.
- This is a summary of all you will need:
- A scanned copy of your passport (only the photo page is needed). The passport must be valid for at least 18 months. If your passport will expire soon, we recommend you renew it before applying.
- A professional passport-size photo. This must be recent.
- A cover letter. In the letter, introduce yourself, explain who you are, what you do, and state your reasons for planning to visit Chile. Also explain if you have any bond in Chile before.
- An invitation letter from a contact person in Chile detailing the address you will live in. Please provide full name and phone number of your contact person in Chile.
- A criminal record certificate from the appropriate ministry in your country showing you have not been convicted of a crime before.
- A contagious disease clearance certificate. This must be signed by a registered medical practitioner and dated within 30 days prior to your application. The certificate must certify you are free of any contagious diseases and in good health for your upcoming travel to Chile. Do not submit the medical results, just the letter of the medical practitioner/centre confirming that you are free of contagious diseases. No X-rays are required.
- A certificate of kinship. You need to submit this in case you already have a relative living in Chile (child or spouse).
- Proof of funds or income. Your visa might allow you to get a job in Chile, however, you need to show proof that you have enough funds to finance your trip.
- Flight ticket/flight itinerary. There is no need to confirm flight tickets before the visa has been granted. You can provide a one-way flight booking. However, you need to provide a valid itinerary.
- Visa fees vary according to country and the type of visa you are applying for. It is always best to ask about the fee directly at [email protected] once your application has been submitted.
- All visas take from 15 to 20 working days to be processed and approved by the Immigration of Chile.
- You are advised to start your application well in advance, like 30 - 60 days prior to your travel date.
