Visa information

It is the responsibility of all delegates to check if they require a visa to enter Chile or a transit visa for any countries they may be traveling through.

If a visa is required, the secretariat can assist in getting letters of support from the Chilean Government.

If you require a letter, please let the UNFCCC Secretariat know no later than 10 March 2023.

Chile has provided the following guidance:

  • Foreign citizens should hold a valid passport with six months validity to enter Chile.
  • Nationals of countries who require a visa to enter Chile must apply for a transitory stay visa, before their arrival in Chile through the following website: https://serviciosconsulares.cl/tramites/permiso-de-permanencia-transitoria
  • In order to facilitate the process, visa applicants are required to send an email to lperezr@minrel.gob.cl and erojas@minrel.gob.cl indicating the following information: name, passport type, passport number, and most importantly “SAC CIUDADANO” number (this is the number the system will provide to identify your application)
