1. International Police

Passengers must submit their travel documents, i.e. passport or identity card, and the duly stamped visa as necessary, at International Police every time they fly into the country.

International tourists are required to fill out a Tourist Card and hand in a copy of this document when leaving the country. Foreign residents in Chile must hand in a copy of this document upon their return.

Please note that Chilean nationals are not required to fill out a Tourist Card when traveling.

2. Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG) Affidavit.

Every person over 18 years of age who enters Chile through Santiago Airport (SCL), must fill out the Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG) Affidavit and indicate whether he or she is carrying vegetable and/or animal products in order to avoid the entry of pests and diseases that could harm agriculture.

To avoid physical contact, the SAG has provided a Digital Affidavit available to passengers at sagingresoachile.cl or by a QR code available at the airport.

Schedule your entry to Chile: declare before starting your trip or when entering the country through your mobile device.

Procedures

Passengers should go to the International Departures area, located on the third level, west end of the passenger terminal.

After checking in at the airport ticket counter or online, passengers should go to the Immigration counters, where their travel documents (identity card or passport, stamped visa for the country of destination, and boarding pass) will be checked by the International Police. If you are traveling with minors, you must carry additional documents such as a legalized parental authorization, certificates and/or family record book, as required.

Finally, passengers must go through the airport security checkpoint (AVSEC) before entering the Departures Lounge.

Please remember that if you are on a temporary visit to Chile as an international tourist, you must hand in the copy of your tourist card upon your return to your country of origin. Foreign residents in Chile, on the other hand, you should fill out a tourist card before traveling.

Departing passengers who have to re-enter Chile in the near future and are taking any valuables out of the country can make a Declaration on the Temporary Exit of Goods (DST) at a Customs Service office located on the right-hand side of the airport security checkpoint.
