Frequently Asked Questions
A tourist visa generally does not allow you to engage in commercial activities or receive remuneration in Chile. If you are attending business meetings, conferences, or trade events, a business visa is the appropriate category.
The Chilean company issuing the invitation letter should preferably have it on official company letterhead with a signature and stamp. The embassy may request notarization or apostille depending on circumstances.
A business visa does not automatically convert to a work visa. If you intend to take up employment in Chile, you will need to apply for a work visa through the appropriate Chilean immigration channels.
