Can I enter Chile just before my visa expires? Indian citizen
Chile tourist visa is issued on May 26th. It says "Duration of 30 days // To be used within 90 days of issue".
Can I enter Chile on August 22nd (89th day) and stay for 2 weeks?
I went to a Chilean Embassy to confirm this. The front desk assistant took my case in writing and later called me to say "It is fine as long as I enter Chile before expiry".
Still I am tensed because this is an immigration issue. I am on an Indian passport.
Best Answer
[Answering my own question]
I entered Chile on the 89th day without any issues. The immigration officer gave me an surprised look about the issue. But she stamped me for 20 days as was pointed out by the embassy official.
So Chile's visa is like 90 days to enter and another 2-4 weeks to stay.
