Short answerMalaysian citizens can visit Chile without a visa. Up to 30 days per visit.

How long you can stay
Up to 30 days per visit.
What you need
  • Passport valid for the whole intended stay (the permit cannot run past the travel document's expiry)
  • Proof of sufficient means of support for the stay, if asked
  • Joint Aduana–SAG sworn declaration (Declaración Jurada) on arrival — the form says it must be filled out by every person entering Chile; adults (18+) include accompanying minors' baggage; digital version available for Santiago airport and land border crossings, or on paper
Good to know
Chile's Foreign Ministry visa table (PDF created 6 March 2026) lists MALASIA as 'NO' (no visa needed) but with a maximum stay ('plazo máximo estadía') of only 30 days for both single and multiple entry, fee US$0. Visitors from this country are therefore visa-free for up to 30 days per entry, not the usual 90. Whether the one-time SERMIG extension can take a 30-day visitor beyond 30 days is not stated specifically; the extension page says only 'hasta noventa días corridos', once, USD 100. General rules (Servicio Nacional de Migraciones, 'Permanencia Transitoria', updated 14 Oct 2025): visitors enter as holders of a Permanencia Transitoria permit, which allows a stay 'por hasta 90 días' and cannot run past the validity of the travel document; the PDI (Policía de Investigaciones) records the permitted period on the Tarjeta Única Migratoria (TUM) at entry; visitors must have 'los medios económicos suficientes para sustentar su estadía' and may not do paid work. Extension (SERMIG 'Prórroga de Permanencia Transitoria', updated 30 Jun 2026): 'hasta noventa días corridos', 'por una sola vez', applied for online in SERMIG's Portal de Trámites Digitales before the period on your TUM expires; fee USD 100 (children and adolescents exempt); you must show means of support for the extension period and explain the reasons. Arrival: the joint Aduana–SAG sworn declaration form states 'ESTA DECLARACIÓN DEBE SER LLENADA POR TODA PERSONA QUE INGRESE AL PAÍS' (adults 18+ sign and include minors' baggage); see the customs rows. The table's 'plazo máximo estadía' is the stay allowed on the permit; the 30/60/90-day figures are stated as days, not months.
