PDI Immigration Information

Tourist Card & 19% VAT Exemption

Upon entering Chile, the Investigative Police (PDI) provides international travelers with a Tourist Card (Tarjeta Única Migratoria). This paper slip is vital and must be safely kept with your passport throughout your entire journey.

Presenting this valid Tourist Card grants international visitors an exemption from Chile's 19% VAT (IVA) on lodging and designated hospitality services. If not presented, the 19% tax surcharge must be charged as required by law.
