Hi Martin,
Bike is parked in covered secure parking space at my sons rental apartment in Providencia. He doesn’t have a car so it’s vacant.
I have booked flights today, arriving SCL 30th January
Cheers
Andrew

Hey Andrew,

Are you able to share the links you used to extend TVIP?

Did you extend your visa as well or just get a new one?

Fellow Aussie trying to do the same thing - this thread has been super helpful!

Hey Xav,

unfortunately Andrew has passed away. The extension can be done online.
Use this link for information:

https://www.aduana.cl/prorroga-de-pe...16/132903.html

The online form didn’t work at the time we tried in Andrews case. Maybe it is fixed now. Alternatively you would have to look up an e-mail address and reach out directly to aduanas.

The visa can also be extended online. In general it is easier (and at times cheaper) to do a border run towards Argentina.

Ride safe!

Martin

Oh my... Terribly sorry to hear that

Thanks for the reply Martin.

The online form is not working for me either (TVIP number doesn't seem to match my passport number... although the writing on the form is incredibly hard to make out so I could be entering the wrong values).

I'm going to email the Arica Customs office and see what comes of it.

Unfortunately, border runs do not work for Aussies as we need to get visa's prior to arrival.

I will request another visa prior to my return in January to save some $$$.

Will keep you posted with how it pans out.

Appreciate your help!!

Xav

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
