Is easter island part of Chile??

Hi

Does anybody know what the entry formalities are when flying from
Chile to Easter Island?

The reason for asking is that my wife and I are shortly treating
ourselves to a "once in a lifetime" trip which includes flying from
Santiago (Chile) to Easter Island then on to Tahiti and NZ.

However, my British passport still has four years to run but is
already becoming worryingly short of space. I have contacted the UK
passport office, but apparently it is not possible to add pages to an
existing passport, it will mean buying a new one (If I had any sense I
should have bought a passport with more pages last time I renewed it,
but it is too late now).

If Easter Island is classed as part of Chile and I do not get another
stamp in my passport (i.e. I enter Chile via Santiago and exit Chile
at Easter Island) then I should have enough pages left for this trip;
but if Easter island requires a separate stamp in my passport, then I
am pushing things a bit close for comfort - I am assuming that each
countries entry stamp on our trip will require a double page in my
passport.

But this newsgroup is supposed to be full of friends too.

It's supposed to be a place where someone can go to find people who've
already experienced the situation they're asking about and provide
first-hand help.

I have visited countries where a passport stamp was a formality, and
other documentation proved your rights to visit.

That's with a US passport. I have no idea with a UK passport. I know
that your own country tends to scrutinise your activites on your re-
entry to Britain, but to answer your question about a visit to Easter
Island, Google may not have any information, but perhaps you could
send an e-mail to the consular off for Chile in your country.

I'll try to investigate further this morning. I'm new here, but I like
the content of this group.

Cheers

Easter Island is considered a special territory of Chile, and is governed
as if it is a province of hte country. Holders of British passports don't
need a visa to enter Chile, and there are no special entry requirements to
visit Easter Island from Chile.

Chile owns Easter Island, yes. You will probably need a visa.
