After welcoming international travelers again on October 1, the Chilean government announced changes to its Protected Borders Plan.

As a result of the "very low" COVID-19 infection rates reported over the last week, officials in Chile revealed the five-day isolation period previously announced is no longer mandatory for fully vaccinated travelers who provide a negative coronavirus test, starting on November 1.

International tourists can enter the country through dedicated airports in Santiago, Iquique and Antofagasta. To enter the country, visitors must provide a negative test result, fill out the country's "Travelers' Affidavit" and show proof of travel insurance.

For those visiting before November 1, they will be required to complete the full five-day isolation period announced in September or temporarily isolate until receiving a negative COVID test in Chile.

In both cases, travelers will also have to present proof of an approved vaccination.

Regardless of the coronavirus-related protocol changes, all tourists arriving in the country must still comply with the traveler's follow-up process, which is done over a period of 14 days and consists of daily self-reporting of health status, current location and testing via email.
