Money and Currency The Chilean Peso is currency in Chile. The EUR
is the best accepted currency for exchange. We accept traveller's cheques
and all Chilean banks. Cash EUR should be carried with which in some cases
can be paid and which can be exchanged at weekends. Almost all credit
cards are accepted. We know from experience that Visa, Mastercard and
American Express are the most accepted credit cards. You can draw cash
money with credit cards. Have your secret number ready; that saves long
procedures at your bank. Passport / Visa Make sure that your passport is valid for one year. You will get a visa on arrival at all borders respectively in the plane or at the airport. A stay of 90 days are given and the visa can be extended for another 90 or 180 days. In the visa application form, you will be asked for the address you are staying.

691822 Our German and English speaking team will give you
their advice and support. Please buy your films at home. You need 50-100
ASA films in the Andes. It is advisable to use a lens hood and an UV
filter for good pictures. Special film containers, e.g. "Filmshield",
protect your films against x-rays during luggage checks. Chile is like an island, the desert is in the north, the Antarctica is in the south, and the 4300 kilometres border runs along the huge Andes. Many typical South American diseases do not exist here. Amongst South American experts this country counts as a clean one and so are the restaurants. There are no inoculations required in Chile.
