Chile has announced it will open the country's borders since July 26 for vaccinated nationals and foreign residents. The country completely closed its borders last April and has so far required anyone allowed in to observe a mandatory quarantine at a sanitary hotel, a measure which will remain in force for the unvaccinated.

The country completely closed its borders last April and has so far required anyone allowed in to observe a mandatory quarantine at a sanitary hotel, a measure which will remain in force for the unvaccinated.

Currently 86% of the target population has received at least one dose and 11.9 of the 19 million inhabitants already have had the full treatment, mainly with Coronavac, and to a lesser extent with the Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Cansino drugs.

Those benefitted with the new decision must have been vaccinated more than 14 days prior to arrival. The entry of foreign travelers will continue to be banned, barring a few exceptions.

Chilean nationals and foreign residents, who are not vaccinated, will remain subject to the rules already in force. But leaving Chile is only permitted for those who are going to reside permanently abroad, those who are going to carry out fundamental tasks for the country, or perform humanitarian work elsewhere or travel for health reasons.
