Visas

U.S. citizens do not need a visa to travel to Chile. There is, however, a $100 “reciprocity” fee for entrance into the country (Chileans are required to pay a $100 application fee for entry into the U.S.). Upon arrival in Santiago U.S. citizens are required to show their passport and pay a $100 fee. A stamp is given in the passport along with a receipt, which allows future entrance to the country for the life of the passport.

Each student will also need a notorized letter of permission for them to travel with us. We will arrange this letter in the coming months.
