Dried Passilla or even Ancho should do.

Depends. The only chipotles I've seen here are canned in adobo, which
implies different uses than a smoked, dried critter. Since y'r basic
chipotle is a smoked, dried jalapeno, alternate choices would have to
take into account whether the use emphasized the relative heat,
smokiness, or dry-chile-ness.

No, there really isn't. Not if you want the flavor of a smoked jalapeño.

Absolutely, but it is costly. If you reconstitute a dry chile of your choice
and sprinkle with liquid smoke, or add liquid smoke to your recipe (to taste)
you will arrive at an acceptable substitute.

Normally I would never recommend a bottled product as they tend to be junk,
but, Colgin brand Liquid Smoke does just what it is supposed to do. It is a
smoke essence bound in a water base.

Is the problem that canned chipotles en adobe do not exist in your country? If
so, you probably don't have liquid smoke either.

Here is another option, that I picked up in Afghanistan. When they are cooking
dal or other lentils, they like to put a small ramekin with some burning wood
into the pott of dal, cover it, and let the smoke infuse the dal. You could
probably use the ramekin trick if you recipe is a stew like recipe?

Some native american recipes also call for 'culinary ash', that is ash from
charred wood.

add a drop (not more) of liquid smoke.

Just get some Jalapenos, toast them over an open flame, remove the seeds (be
careful of what you touch afterwards, eyes, nose, etc. !)

If still to hot, use Anaheim's or poblanos & toast more.

Enjoy

Fiesta Mart, a texas grocery store chain, might sell mail order If you
ask the right person. They have stores in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio
and Houston. I got a pound of dried chipotle peppers for 4.99 Nice
mottled dark tan color with the small dark brown linear stripes. They
also have three different size cans of the canned in adobo sauce
chipotles.
