Shoot decision
Depends on setup
Casual personal photography needs no permit. Tripods, lighting, or crews on public land often need a municipal permit.
Permit
Conditional
Issuer: CONAF for national parks; municipalities and site managers for organized commercial shoots; no permit for casual photography
Cost: No permit for casual photography; commercial shoots and CONAF parks need prior authorization and fees
Casual personal photography needs no permit. Tripods, lighting, or crews on public land often need a municipal permit.
Drone / airspace
Regulated by the DGAC; urban and commercial aerial photography needs authorization, a registered drone, and a credentialed pilot
For category detail, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes to photograph, but an identifiable image is personal data and courts recognize a right to one's own image
Commercial or stock use effectively requires a model release; extra care with minors.
Freedom of panorama
Full
Law 17.336 makes reproduction by photography of architecture and of monuments and artworks permanently in public places free, with publication and sale lawful. It covers permanent works, not temporary installations or interiors, and excludes currency designs.
Practical notes
- CONAF requires authorization and fees for commercial film or photo in parks like Torres del Paine, though tourist snapshots are fine.
- Rapa Nui (Easter Island) moai are heritage-protected; CONAF and community rules restrict commercial photography and drones.
Guidance, not legal advice
