Tourist visa (prior authorisation)：尼日利亚 → 智利
Nigerian citizens need a prior authorisation (tourist visa) to enter Chile as transitory-stay visitors — apply online via the official Sistema de Atención Consular (SAC); if approved you pay the fee within 30 days and receive the visa by email, for a stay of up to 30 days (single entry) or 60 days (multiple entry).
Chile's prior authorisation / consular tourist visa for transitory stays — short visits for tourism, business, family or similar, applied for online via the official consular platform (SAC) and issued electronically by email.
- 有效期
- Single-entry: stay up to 30 days; multiple-entry: up to 60 days (official per-country table). The permit cannot outlast your passport's validity.
- 入境次数
- Single or multiple entry (multiple entries must be justified in the application)
- 单次最长停留
- 30 days (single entry) / 60 days (multiple entry); extendable by 90 days inside Chile via the National Migration Service
何时开始办理
建议在出行前 21 天 至 45 天 开始办理。
The official per-country table of the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists Nigeria ordinary passports as requiring a visa (¿Requiere visa?: SI): to enter Chile as a transitory-stay (Permanencia Transitoria) visitor — tourism, business, family or similar, for less than 90 days — you must obtain a prior authorisation or visa before travelling.
Complete the application form online on the official Servicios Consulares en línea platform (SAC, tramites.minrel.gov.cl), explaining the reason for your trip and length of stay, and upload the required documents in PDF (file names without symbols or special characters).
The Chilean consulate serving your place of residence reviews your file. It may request additional documents — including an apostilled or legalised criminal-record certificate — and may call you to a personal interview, which you attend with all your original documents.
The application can be approved or rejected; in both cases the decision is notified to you by email. Submitting your documents does not oblige the consular authority to grant the authorisation.
If the application is approved, the consulate emails payment instructions and gives you 30 days to pay the visa fee — for Nigeria ordinary passports the tourist-visa fee is US$ 200 for a single entry / US$ 208 for multiple entries. Where the fee is collected in local currency, a 10% surcharge applies.
The visa is sent electronically from the consulate's official email account to the personal email address in your application. Print it and carry it together with your valid passport when you enter Chile — the visa does not guarantee entry; the migration authority makes the final decision at the border.
