Chile visa rules for Thai citizens
Thailand and Chile have a mutual short-stay tourist visa exemption, so Thai tourists do not need a visa for short visits; study, work or long-term residence requires a visa in advance through the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs online system.
Documents and translations
For long-stay visas, applicants prepare a passport, photo, financial evidence and purpose documents such as an acceptance letter or employment contract; Thai documents must be translated into English or Spanish and certified as required.
Applying from Thailand
Long-stay visas are lodged online through the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal, coordinating with the Chilean Embassy in Bangkok as required; check the current exemption terms and requirements before travelling.
