Vietnam visa for Chilean citizens – 90 days visa exemption and conditions
From 15 August 2025, Chilean citizens will be exempt from obtaining a Vietnam visa if they stay in the country for less than 90 days, along with other Vietnam visa free nationals.

- Hold a passport valid for at least six months from the date of entry.
- Have at least two blank pages in the passport for entry and exit stamps.
- Be prepared to present proof of an onward or return flight ticket upon entry into Vietnam.
