The short answer
Nigerian citizens need a visa arranged in advance to enter Chile for stays of up to 90 days. A visa has to be obtained before travelling to Chile. This covers tourist and short business visits only, not work, study or residence, and a border officer makes the final decision on entry in every case. Entry rules change without notice, so the requirement is read again from the official source on a schedule and the date above is the last time that happened. The official source for this corridor is linked on this page and should be checked before booking. Where the destination government and the traveller's own government disagree, the destination government decides, because it is the one that writes the rule. This was last checked on 18 April 2026.
