They are supposedly approving or rejecting with what you need to correct within 48 hours. So a week or so out. Also the medical alert comes up for review late September as it is set to expire at the end of that month. Fingers crossed that all this mandate madness ends then and there.

validity paso de movilidad - when the circus will end
"Mandate madness" indeed, I am in admiration of the cool blooded Chilean population who accepts this circus for more than 2,5 years now. This said, I was NEVER asked a paso de movilidad except for a domestic flight in February 2022 when Covid was at its peak. Getting the business was the main focus of all places. Tables have been everywhere well distances though.

paso de movilidad obsolete for travellers
From 1 September 2022 travellers bound for Chile need to be vaccinated * and upon boarding their flight to Chile only have to show the vaccination certificate of their country.
This cerificate along with the ID document will be valid as a paso de moviidad.
No C19 affidavit needed anymore.
48 hours PCR also does the trick
* whatever that means, second boosters in most EU countries are not yet available for the broad population, so it might be wise to get a PCR test 48 hours before traveling

The health insurance requirement was dropped weeks before the latest announcement.
And I'm hoping for them not renewing the Medical Alert which expires September 30 and dropping the whole mandate madness for everyone.

Thank you! For further the clarification. A US passport holder, traveling from Argentina will only require current vaccine status. I have my first 2+ a booster. No other forms to fill out nothing else? Appreciate your insight

Of course, remains to be seen if implementation is chaotic or not with this government of primarily youngsters in their first real jobs of responsibility.

If you have your vac certs, then they and your ID serves as your mobility pass as a tourist beginning 1 September. This is sure not to go down well with all Chileans as there is now a blatant lesser standard for tourists vs. citizens and residents when it comes to the Constitution and freedom of movement where supposedly all are equal or nearly equal under the law.

As a precaution I would get a PCR test 48 hours before final departure to Chile anyway.
Let's give the youngster communists a chance, the establishment abused too much the situation but the desillusion may be bigger than we all imagine and they are now desperate for cash. Best is to ignore Covid anyway how it is done now in Europe.

For Rapa Nui I am afraid that it will be a "no go" for the time being. Too much risk, too much uncertainity.

Rechazo is winning at the moment not because of old fascists but because of old center leftists, independents and the generation of the working class that actually did see improvements and upward mobility and now see through the wealthy communists lies and trap setting. Yes, it is mainly the young who are still living at home, still in school, indoctrinated over two decades and surprisingly of the upper middle class and above that are diehard Apruebo.
This vote is mandatory and I will indeed be voting again in Chile. I caution all tourists to not stay in Santiago Centro the night of September 4. Stay to the east of Costanera Center in El Golf.
