Entry Procedures for Quintero , Chile
Regardless of what you may have heard to the contrary, a Visa is not required ahead of arrival. Likewise, a cruising permit is not needed to cruise the coast of Chile . All procedures are straightforward. According to Chilean regulations concerning the legal stay and use of pleasure vessels in Chile, all boats must have a Temporary Importation Permit ( Permiso de Importación Temporal) issued by the Customs Department.
Please note that the harbor entrance is clear and not buoyed, except for the “monoboya” of the Oil Company. There are not currents in the area.
