Chile visa for British citizens

Chilean passport holders planning a visit to the United Kingdom will soon require an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) for short stays, permitting a maximum duration of 90 days under the standard tourist visa type. When preparing your journey from Santiago, anticipate flights to London often include a layover in major European or North American hubs, making the typical eight-hour time difference something to consider upon arrival. Adjusting from Chile's Southern Hemisphere seasons to the UK's often milder climate will be part of the experience, ensuring you pack appropriately for your visit.
