Chile Unique Entry Form

Q: What is the Chile Unique Entry Form?

The Chile Unique Entry Form (FUI) is the official online entry registration required by the Chilean Interior Ministry for travelers to Rapa Nui (Easter Island). Complete the FUI at the official portal ingresorapanui.interior.gob.cl — you will receive an electronic confirmation to present at PDI and boarding.

Q: Who needs the Chile Unique Entry Form?

Most tourists and short-stay visitors to Rapa Nui must submit the entry form. Exemptions include Chilean nationals, Rapa Nui residents registered with CONADI, airline crew on duty and diplomatic passport holders. Check local rules and see gob.cl for specifics.

Q: What happens if I arrive without a valid entry confirmation?

If you arrive at the airport without a completed entry confirmation you may be refused boarding for flights to Rapa Nui or delayed at the PDI counter while staff verify accommodation and return ticket details. Airlines often check the confirmation at departure — we recommend applying before travel to avoid denial of boarding.

Q: Can I edit or correct my application after submission?

You can usually correct small errors before your scheduled boarding time using the official portal’s edit function or by contacting PDI if the change relates to reservation details. For significant changes contact the issuing portal at ingresorapanui.interior.gob.cl or use DoVisa support to help submit an amendment.

Q: Is a departure entry form also required when leaving Rapa Nui?

No separate departure form is required. The online entry registration is an inbound requirement tied to boarding and island entry; departures follow standard Chilean exit procedures. Confirm current rules at the official Rapa Nui page: gob.cl .

Q: Which airports and seaports accept this document?

Present your confirmation at the PDI counter and immigration at your departure airport and on arrival. Major international and domestic hubs include Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez (SCL) in Santiago and domestic gateways that operate flights to regional destinations. For Rapa Nui flights you will present documents at the PDI counter before boarding; always carry the PDF confirmation.

Q: Can I apply from my mobile phone?

Yes — the official portal supports mobile submissions and DoVisa’s guided flow is mobile-friendly. Save or print the confirmation PDF after approval and keep both digital and printed copies for check-in and PDI checks at your departure airport.

Q: How far in advance should I apply for the island entry?

Submit the entry registration as early as 21 days before arrival and no later than your boarding time — this is the official window for the Rapa Nui portal. We recommend applying 3–21 days before travel to allow time for document checks and to resolve any booking registration issues. Start your application now .

Q: What is the step-by-step application process?

1) Go to the official portal at ingresorapanui.interior.gob.cl or use DoVisa. 2) Enter passport and traveler details, upload SERNATUR-registered accommodation confirmation and return ticket. 3) Submit and save the PDF/email confirmation. 4) Present the confirmation at PDI before boarding and at arrival. DoVisa can guide you through each step.

Q: Do children need their own Chile Unique Entry Form?

Yes — each traveler, including infants and minors, requires their own entry registration submitted by a parent or guardian. In addition, children travelling with only one parent must carry notarised permission from the non-travelling parent and an original birth certificate; check child travel rules on GOV.UK .

What Is the Chile Unique Entry Form?

The Chile Unique Entry Form (commonly referred to by its Spanish acronym FUI) is the mandatory online entry registration required for most visitors traveling to Rapa Nui (Easter Island). The Chilean Interior Ministry rolled out the online system to protect the island’s fragile environment and improve immigration checks; it replaced paper-only local submissions and onsite-only declarations for non-residents. The official form is hosted by the Rapa Nui entry portal and collects arrival information, accommodation details and proof of return travel.

Apply online via the official portal at ingresorapanui.interior.gob.cl or use DoVisa for guided completion and document checks. Upon approval you receive an electronic confirmation you can print or save — many travelers are asked to show the confirmation and reservation at the PDI (Policía de Investigaciones) counter before boarding or on arrival. Expect to provide your passport data, SERNATUR-registered accommodation booking details, and your return ticket when requested.

The Chile Unique Entry Form does not replace your immigration stamp or any visa required by your nationality — it is a trip-specific entry authorization for Rapa Nui that must be presented alongside travel documents. Recent policy updates make the FUI mandatory for most tourists and guests; failure to complete the online process and present required evidence at boarding or at the PDI counter can prevent travel to the island. Residents registered with CONADI are handled under a different process.

For full Chile entry rules see Chile visa information and the official Rapa Nui portal at ingresorapanui.interior.gob.cl. Apply for your Chile Unique Entry Form now.

Vaccination & Health Advice

No vaccinations are currently required for entry to Chile, but routine vaccines and Hepatitis A are recommended. Check the CDC country page for the latest health guidance: CDC — Chile.

Declare agricultural goods and items subject to duty. Chile restricts or prohibits firearms, ammunition, explosives and certain agricultural products and chemicals. Review import rules at the official customs and trade guidance: trade.gov — Chile imports.

The FUI must be submitted online from up to 21 days before arrival until boarding time. Tourists may only stay at SERNATUR-accredited accommodations and the island’s maximum tourist stay is 30 days. See the official Rapa Nui page: gob.cl — Rapa Nui entry.

Travel Tips for Chile Visitors

Chile combines long Pacific coastline, Andean highlands and remote Rapa Nui. Most international flights land in Santiago before domestic connections to other regions or to Easter Island.

Currency: Chilean Peso (CLP) is the local currency; carry CLP for small purchases — US dollars (USD) may be accepted in some tourist businesses but CLP is standard.
Language: Spanish is the official language; English is commonly spoken in hotels and tourist services on Rapa Nui and in major cities.
Time zone: Mainland Chile typically observes GMT-3 (UTC−3); time zones vary in overseas territories—check local schedules before travel.
Main international airport: Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez (SCL) in Santiago — connect there for domestic flights to the regions and to Rapa Nui.
Rapa Nui transfers: Flights to Easter Island often depart from Santiago — book well in advance and ensure your SERNATUR-accredited hotel is confirmed for the FUI.
Safety: Demonstrations can affect transportation in Santiago and other cities — monitor local advisories and avoid demonstrations.
Customs: Declare agricultural items and follow strict rules on food and plant products — confiscations and fines apply.
Documentation: Save a copy of your FUI confirmation and accommodation booking offline; you may need to present printed documents at the PDI counter before boarding.
