Get Chile travel documents for Argentine citizens

No, Argentine citizens do not need a visa for tourism or business stays of up to 90 days. What every traveller over 18 must do is file the Customs SAG Declaration, a free customs form and not a visa, covering the goods and currency they bring in.

Yes. The declaration applies at all of Chile's border controls, the land crossings included, not just airports. QR codes are posted at the crossings and the form works offline once you have opened the portal while still connected, so it can be completed even on the mountain passes. Every traveller over 18 files their own.

The digital form opens only 24 hours before arrival, the shortest window of any travel document, so it cannot be prepared earlier on the government site. Applying through iVisa means your details are ready the moment the window opens. It can also be completed on arrival: QR codes are posted at the entry points and the form works offline once you have opened the portal while still connected.

No, under-18s don't need their own form. Every traveler over 18 files their own declaration, but under-18s aren't left out of the process: the accompanying adult includes them on their own form and takes responsibility for their baggage.

Failing to declare plant or animal products or merchandise, or declaring falsely, carries sanctions and fines under Chilean law. Money is a separate Customs rule on the same form: you declare cash and bearer instruments once they pass US$10,000 or the equivalent in another currency. Handicrafts of plant or animal origin count too, which surprises travellers carrying souvenirs. Baggage is inspected by canine units, X-ray or manual checks.

Yes. The obligation is to complete the declaration itself, not to have something to declare. Every traveller over 18 files, including those carrying nothing declarable, and including Chileans returning home.
