Important Information for International Visitors
International visitors have the benefit of being exempt from the Value Added Tax (VAT) as long as they meet the following requirements:
- Show a foreign passport
- Have spent fewer than 59 days in the country
- Show the immigration card (PDI) which will be provided by the immigration officer when the visitor enters the country. Make sure to retain this document since the paper looks like a ballot and many people throw it away.
- Payment in US dollars (USD)
- Hotel invoice is in the name of the guest
Failure to comply with any of these requirements leaves the guest subject to paying the VAT of 19% on the total cost of their hotel stay.
Exchange rate
All charges are subject to the exchange rate at check out. When the guest makes a reservation, the hotel provides an estimated cost in Chilean Pesos (CLP). On the day of check-out, the hotel will convert the cost to USD using the current exchange rate.
