About the Chile Passport
Chile earns a strong ranking of 8th for its passport. Holders enter 113 destinations visa-free, and total mobility reaches 174 when visa on arrival and e-Visa access are added. Europe is the standout region with 45 visa-free destinations, while Oceania is the smallest at six. Visa on arrival applies to 35 more destinations and e-Visa to 26, so only a small share of the world remains closed without advance approval for Chilean holders.
Chilean travelers can go to France and the Schengen area, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore and Brazil without a visa. The United Kingdom, the United States and Canada require only an eTA. Australia requires an e-Visa, and China is one of the 23 countries where a visa is required. Since access is already wide, a second citizenship such as Malta Citizenship by Merit could add up to nine destinations, and residency may serve other goals better.
