Migraciones sets the authorised stay when it stamps your entry. A tourist can stay up to 183 calendar days, cumulative over a 365-day period counted from the first entry, unless a visa exemption agreement sets a different limit. If less is granted, the law provides for an extension up to 183 days, unless the agreement rules it out. In its information for tourists, Migraciones mentions only one online extension procedure, the one for Andean Community nationals (Bolivia, Colombia and Ecuador), up to 180 days a year.
