On February 15, 2022, the Chilean government issued an extension of its border restrictions through the end of March 2022. Specifically, the government issued Decree No. 34, modifying Decree No. 295 of 2021, to continue the government’s legal authorization to impose restrictions on the entry and exit of individuals through the country’s borders. In issuing the new decree, the government emphasized that further modifications may be made in response to the changing nature of the pandemic around the world.
