Saudi Arabia Visa Eligibility for Citizens of the Republic of Chile

The travel connection between the Southern Cone of South America and the Arabian Peninsula has reached a milestone of efficiency in 2026. For citizens of the Republic of Chile, the doors to Saudi Arabia are open through a streamlined digital infrastructure. Whether you are traveling from Santiago to explore the heritage sites of Hegra or to participate in the burgeoning business landscape of Riyadh, the process is designed to be as seamless as the journey itself. As a Chilean passport holder, you are part of a select group of nationalities eligible for the Kingdom's most advanced entry systems.

2026 Eligibility: The Direct E-Visa Advantage

The Republic of Chile is officially recognized as an eligible nation for the Saudi electronic visa (e-visa). This designation allows Chilean citizens to manage their entire visa application online, eliminating the need for physical paperwork or consulate visits.

• Eligibility Status: Full Electronic Visa (e-visa) and Visa on Arrival access.

• Approved Travel Purposes: Leisure tourism, visiting family and friends, attending professional conferences, and performing the Umrah pilgrimage.

• Ports of Entry: Valid for arrival via all Saudi international airports, land borders, and seaports.

Stay Flexibility and Annual Validity

The entry framework for Chilean nationals is designed to accommodate both brief business trips and extensive cultural explorations:

• One-Year Validity: Once your e-visa is approved, it remains active for a total of 12 months, allowing you to plan your visit at your convenience.

• Multiple-Entry Privilege: Chilean travelers can enter and exit the Kingdom multiple times within the visa's one-year validity period.

• 90-Day Stay Limit: Each individual entry allows for a stay of up to 90 days, providing ample time to experience the diverse regions of the Kingdom.

• Umrah Access: Chilean citizens can utilize their tourist e-visa to perform the Umrah pilgrimage throughout the year (excluding the Hajj season), offering a direct path for spiritual visitors.

Professional Verification and All-Inclusive Pricing

To ensure that your application is processed without administrative errors and that your mandatory 2026 health insurance is correctly activated, we provide a dedicated verification service. This manual review ensures that all personal data is synchronized with the Kingdom’s immigration systems.

• Standard Eligibility Path: The total all-inclusive fee for our service is 175 dollars. This final price encompasses the official government visa fee, the 2026 mandatory medical insurance policy, and our professional document audit. Most authorizations are finalized within 3 to 5 business days.

• Express Priority Path: For travelers with an immediate departure from Chile, we offer an expedited pathway for 225 dollars, prioritizing your file for a response within 24 business hours.

Specialized Entry: Careers and Long-Term Residency

It is important for citizens of the Republic of Chile to note that tourist and electronic visas do not grant the right to engage in paid labor. If your goal is professional relocation or a long-term career in the Kingdom, a specific Consular Work Visa must be obtained through the Saudi Embassy in Santiago. This process requires a local Saudi sponsor and the verification of academic and medical records. We recommend a preliminary document check to ensure all credentials meet the Kingdom's 2026 standards before initiating the embassy process.

Essential Requirements for Chilean Applicants

To finalize your digital authorization, please ensure the following items are ready:

1. Passport: A valid Chilean passport with at least six months of remaining validity.

2. Digital Profile: A clear, recent biometric photograph with a plain white background.

3. Communication: A valid email address to receive your official PDF authorization.
