Testing requirements for travel back to your home country vary. We encourage you to refer to your country’s Embassy site.
You may need a negative covid test to return to your home country following the conference. For example, boarding a flight to the United States, you are required to show a negative COVID-19 test result taken no more than 1 day before travel.
Here are IWF’s recommendations for Testing in Chile
1) Option 1 – Buy a test ahead of time and bring it with you!
We recommend purchasing and packing the "Abbott BinaxNOW™ COVID-19 Ag Card Home Test with eMed Telehealth Services." An at-home test must include telehealth services in order to be accepted for re-entry to the United States.
You can purchase your kit here. IWF will not have any kits available for purchase on-site.
2) Option 2 – Reserve an appointment at Genosur
Location: Av Vitacura 2905, Las Condes, Región Metropolitana, Chile, 10 minute walk from W Santiago. Please click here to make your appointment. Turn around time: 4 hours Cost: $30 USD (CLP $25.000). Please note this fee is nonrefundable.
Note: Please note that English is not widely spoken at the clinic. When you arrive, you’ll see 4 very long lines with different timed groups. We recommend arriving 20 – 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment time. In our personal experience the timed groups move quickly. It is important that you bring your passport and appointment confirmation email with you.
If you are in need of English speaking medical staff, Clínica Alemana is what is recommended. It is a 10 minute drive from the W Santiago.
