Attend

OpenRIT 6G Workshop 2025 will be held as a live event (onsite only). Some presentations might be held online (in the venue).

We thank Nicolás Navarro-Guerrero (L3S Research Center, Leibniz University) and LACORO for the valuable inspiration on local information to consider when visiting the country (About Chile, Currency, VISA).

About Chile

Chile extends over 4.300 km (2.672 mi) from north to south. This narrow country has the driest desert up north, enormous forest, and rainy weather down south, ending in eternal glaciers at Patagonia. The World Travel Award has recognized this diversity with beautiful landscapes as the 2019 winner of the World’s Best Green Destination and the World’s Best Adventure Tourism Destination.

The country’s heterogeneity supports a broad and expanding set of exported Chilean products recognized by their quality, such as wines, seafood, fruits, wood, lithium, and copper as the most relevant outcome.

Currency

Peso is the official currency in Chile (CLP from Chilean Peso). Images of bills and coins. The exchange rate is around 1 US dollar = 928 pesos, see a current estimate on https://si3.bcentral.cl/Indicadoressiete/secure/Indicadoresdiarios.aspx.

While most places accept credit cards such as Visa, Master Card, Diners Club, and American Express, the use of foreign currency is unlikely in almost every place except for some hotels. Cash can be retrieved from ATMs, banks or money exchange houses. However, exchanging some cash (Chilean pesos) is recommended before travelling.

VISA

To enter Chile, you must present your identification documents, like your passport. Moreover, depending on your country of origin, a stamped VISA. The following map presents the VISA policies per country.

Citizens from South America can use their ID cards. Citizens from the European Union, the USA, Canada, Mexico, and Australia do not need tourist VISAs. Australian citizens can use their passports and pay a reciprocity fee at the Airport.

VISA information per country can be found here (2020), published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Chile. Current year information, in lower resolution, can be found here.
