90 days VISA but leaving for 6 months
Hi all,
I have a pb.
Cannot find the answer anywhere on the HUBB.
I will leave from either London or Paris.
I want to travel 6 months around SA.
Not sure when I would want to return
Probably starting in Chile.
Chile only gives 90 days VISA same as other countries of SA.
The airline and/or Chilean Custom is very likely to refuse me entry if I cannot prove to them that I intent to leave the country withing the 90 days VISA.
This makes it hard for me to buy a flight.
Options:
1) Buy an 12 months "open return" ticket with the initial return date within the 90 days period and change it once in SA.
But it cost more than normal ticket and also penalties for changing date.
2) COntact the Chilean Embassy to try and get 6 months VISA. Anyone ever tried that?
3) Book an "internal SA" flight, say to Argentina for cheap and not use it. just to prove that you intent to leave the country. But if my return ticket back to Europe is after 5 months...
Not sure this would be sufficient proof for the Airline.
Anyone done that?
So the question is really, how can I make sure that I wont get refused by the airline? How did you do it?
