Pakistani nationals need a prior authorisation or visa before travelling to Chile. The consular fee table marks Pakistan as visa-required and, unlike India and the Dominican Republic, Pakistan has no exemption for holders of a US visa or Green Card. The application is filed online through Chile’s Servicios Consulares en línea platform, decided by a Chilean consulate, and the approved visa is emailed to you to print and carry. The consulate can still ask for a police certificate or call you to an interview with original documents. For Pakistan, the Chilean embassy is concurrent with the Embassy of Chile in the United Arab Emirates. A single-entry visa costs US$122 (30 days) and a multiple-entry visa US$202 (90 days).

Chile sits on the Pacific side of South America, a long journey from Pakistan, and planning a visit starts with paperwork. As a Pakistani passport holder you need a prior authorisation or visa, known in Spanish as an autorización previa o visa, before boarding. There is no visa on arrival for Pakistanis, and the whole application is handled online.

Chile’s consular fee table, updated in March 2026, lists Pakistan as a visa-required nationality. Some travellers assume a US visa will help, because Chile does waive the visa for certain nationalities who hold one. That waiver is tied to India and the Dominican Republic in the table, with a separate rule for China, and does not extend to Pakistan.

You apply on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs platform, Servicios Consulares en línea, filling in the form and uploading each document as a PDF. A Chilean consulate reviews the file and emails its decision. If you are approved, you get payment instructions and 30 days to pay, after which the visa itself is emailed to you. Print it and carry it with your passport. For Pakistan, Chile’s embassy is concurrent with its embassy in the United Arab Emirates.

The paperwork is short but specific: a 5 x 5 cm colour photo on a white background with no glasses or head covering, your passport data page, and proof of your own money in the form of three recent payslips and three months of bank statements. Ask for multiple entries only if you can justify them. The consulate may also want an apostilled police certificate or an interview where you bring originals.

A single-entry visa costs US$122 and allows up to 30 days, and a multiple-entry visa costs US$202 and allows up to 90 days. You can extend once in Chile by 90 days through the Servicio Nacional de Migraciones, but paid work is not allowed. Chile publishes no official approval rate or processing time, and a visa does not guarantee entry, so apply early and travel with your supporting papers.

Visa ratio

Not officially published

Chile does not publish an official approval or refusal rate for Pakistani applicants. Submitting the documents does not oblige the consulate to grant the visa, and a visa does not guarantee entry at the border.

Quick answers

FAQ

Do Pakistanis need a visa for Chile?

Yes. Chile’s consular visa and fee table marks Pakistan as requiring a visa, so you need a prior authorisation or visa before you fly, even for a short holiday.

Can I enter Chile with a US visa or Green Card?

Not on a Pakistani passport. In the March 2026 fee table, the exemption for holders of a US visa or permanent residence is attached only to India and the Dominican Republic, with a separate rule for China. Pakistan has no such note.

Is the Chile visa really an e-visa?

In practice, yes. You apply on the Servicios Consulares en línea website, upload PDFs, and get the decision by email. If approved and paid, the consulate emails the visa, which you print and carry with your passport. The consulate can, however, ask you to attend an interview.

Which Chilean embassy covers Pakistan?

Chile’s official embassy page for Pakistan says it is concurrent with the Embassy of Chile in the United Arab Emirates. That page is several years old, so confirm the responsible consulate when you open your online application.

How much does a Chilean visa cost for Pakistanis?

US$122 for a single-entry visa allowing up to 30 days, or US$202 for a multiple-entry visa allowing up to 90 days, according to the consular fee table dated March 2026. You pay only after approval, within 30 days.

How long can I stay in Chile?

Up to 30 days on the single-entry visa and up to 90 days on the multiple-entry visa. Once in Chile you can ask the Servicio Nacional de Migraciones to extend your stay by 90 days.

What financial proof does Chile ask for?

Your own funds, shown by your last three payslips and three months of bank statements. A host’s money only counts if they are a close family member such as a spouse, civil partner, parent or qualifying child, with proof of the relationship.

Can I work in Chile on this visa?

No. Visitors on a temporary stay cannot do paid work, except in the limited cases in Article 50 of Law 21.325, and even then a work permit from the Servicio Nacional de Migraciones is needed first.

How long does processing take?

No fixed processing time is published. Apply well ahead of your flight, since the consulate may ask for extra documents such as a police certificate, or for an interview.

Does an approved visa guarantee entry?

No. Chile’s consular service states that the visa does not guarantee entry, and border officers can refuse travellers who do not meet the legal conditions. Carry the printed visa, your passport and supporting documents.
