It is your responsibility to ensure that you and all members of your party are in possession of all necessary travel documents, and in compliance with any other immigration requirements, before you travel.
Chile has removed all its sanitary requirements. The government determined that travelers entering Chile are no longer required to complete a vaccination affidavit or present travel medical insurance.
