Hola Gary,
Not sure about Easter Island as I have never done that but I am pretty sure you would be clearing out of there for 'high seas' or where ever. I once reset the clock by clearing from Montt for
Peru but a
medical emergency ( I had half a tooth ( big filling ) fall out ) so we re-entered at Antofagasta and were given a new 'Declaracion de Admisión Temporal'.
They are good for 12 months and by application can be renewed for another 12 months so you get 2 years 'in country'.
Crew are only good for 90 days however. Simple fix there... plenty of places where you can do a visa run into RG land.
Putting the boat
on the hard does not stop the clock. At least I know of no one who has done it.
I prefer Montt to Valdivia ( that said I have only land cruised into Valdivia )
Club Nautico Reloncavi is the
destination of choice at present... good rates , good people, good
hardstand, all services available. Handy for an
airport.
Oxxean is geared to permanents these days and Marina del Sur has no hard stand and is $$$$$$.
Huelmo is
remote... the one near Castro is said to be expensive and is also
remote..
Cheers
Ping

For tourists, the rules seem simple. Boats... not so much.
I've found limited info on Temporary Import permits but non of it is official and it seems to range from 90 days to 2 years. Can anyone point me to something official?
Would the arrival at Easter island start the clock?
Does putting the boat on the hard stop the clock?
Chile is a big cruising ground, its a pain to get to and we dont want to rush it.
Thanks for any info...
Gary
