Chile has no direct flight from the UAE, so most travelers connect through São Paulo or a US gateway before the final leg into Santiago. Entry is visa-free for 90 days, stamped on arrival with nothing to arrange beforehand.
Chile's shape, a long, narrow strip running from the driest desert on earth in the north to glaciers and fjords in the south, means most trips pick one end or the other rather than attempting both, and Santiago's position roughly in the middle works as a base for either direction.
