On June 20, 2019, the Ministry of Interior and Public Security, through Decree N°237, “Established the need of a Consular Tourist Visa for Venezuelan nationals”, indicating that as of June 22, 2019, citizens of Venezuela who wish to travel to Chile for tourist purposes, will require a consular tourist visa to be requested before the corresponding Chilean consulates abroad, prior entry to Chile.

The Decree has an exclusive article, which states:

“To be established as a requirement for entry to Chile for recreational, sports, religious or similar others, the request of a consular tourist visa with right of entry and stay in Chile in such status, for a maximum period of 90 days, for all Venezuelan nationals who wish to enter the country, without purpose of immigrating, residing or carrying out remunerated activities.”
