General requirements for a Chilean tourist visa include: a passport valid at least 6 months with blank pages, the completed application form, recent photo(s) on a white background, proof of sufficient financial means (bank statements), a round-trip ticket, proof of accommodation, and possibly travel insurance and an invitation letter. Since the Algiers consular section does not publish a precise checklist, confirm it directly with them. Note too that all travelers must complete the online Single Immigration Form (FUI) before arrival, separate from the visa. A consular visa fee applies: we quote no exact figure, confirm it directly with the consulate in Algiers.

Travelers should have a valid passport for the duration of their stay, along with proof of return or onward tickets. It is also recommended to carry travel insurance covering the entire stay. Visa applications must be submitted at a Chilean embassy or consulate prior to departure, with all required documents.

You don't have to go through a third country: Chile maintains an embassy with a consular section in Algiers (Hydra district), with jurisdiction over the whole of Algeria. That is where you lodge your tourist visa application. The contact details shown on Chile's official sites vary slightly from one page to another (two Hydra addresses appear), so call or email the consular section ([email protected]) to confirm the exact address, opening hours and appointment booking before you go.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Algeria, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Algeria but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Chile does run a simplified-entry policy for holders of a valid US visa, but it is limited to a short, specific list of nationalities (notably India, the Dominican Republic and China, under conditions). Algerians are not on that list. Holding a US, Canadian or Schengen visa therefore does not waive Chile's visa requirement: the consular application remains mandatory. Don't trust commercial sites mentioning an 'e-Visa' for Algerians either, no official Chilean source confirms it; the correct route is the consular section in Algiers.
