Or at least from March it will be once more for UK passport holders. Having lashed out GBP150 for a new 10 year red passport in January as mine was soon to expire, it is a relief to receive confirmation that I will be able to use it until 2030.

Chilean Peso weaker but unruffled at 807 to USD 1. Caramba!
