Chile Passport — Schengen Travel Hub (2026)
As a Chilean Citizen, you can visit Europe's Schengen Area visa-free for tourism or business up to 90 days in any 180-day rolling window.
Schengen Travel Framework for Chilean Citizens
Under Regulation (EU) 2016/399 (Schengen Borders Code), citizens of Chile do not require a prior consular visa for short stays. However, total time spent across all 29 member states is subject to a strict 90/180-day rolling rule. Border control calculates this window continuously backwards from any reference date.
Pre-Schengen Bilateral Agreements

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Chilean Citizens travel freely between all 29 Schengen countries?
Yes. Under the Schengen Borders Code (Regulation EU 2016/399), Chilean Citizens can cross internal borders between all 29 member states without routine passport checks, provided their cumulative stay across the entire zone does not exceed 90 days in any 180-day rolling window.
What passport validity is required for Chilean Citizens entering Europe?
Valid for 3 months beyond the intended date of departure
How does the 90/180-day rolling window work for Chile citizens?
The Schengen limit operates on a backward-looking 180-day dynamic window. On every day you are present in any Schengen member state, authorities look back 180 days and count the total days stayed. Any days spent beyond 90 within that 180-day period constitute an overstay.
Do Chilean Citizens need an ETIAS travel authorisation?
ETIAS is not yet operational and no applications are currently being collected. Once the European Union officially launches ETIAS, Chilean Citizens will need an approved online authorisation (€7 fee, valid 3 years) before departure. Today, you enter visa-free using your valid biometric passport.
