Let me guide you through the process of applying for residency in Chile. Everything you need to know to get started is right here. It's very much a DIY process that just about anyone with patience can do. There really isn't much benefit into paying someone to help you since all the information is online.
One of the benefits of obtaining residency in Chile is that it provides you with visa-free access to the US. Additionally, Chile is a developed country with excellent infrastructure, healthcare, and education systems, making it a great place to live, work, and raise a family. But, keep in mind the future of the country. Uncertainty is a common theme of South American countries so thread carefully.
I hope you enjoy!

this went under the radar, i was thinking about argentina
edit: broke my heart when you said it takes 5-7 years to get the passport, guess AR is the best in this case
Just for getting the passport? Yeah, I guess Argentina will be the fastest and more linear path to it.
Wow man, what a great video you make and give us. Chili is on our list and your vid surely helped. Thank you. I subscribed.
Super helpful thank you.
This is a great video but what about having mom or grandparents born in chile.
I think of your mom is from Chile then you should qualify for citizenship
Thank you for posting
Love how you said “things just work”.
I’m from the US, my wife is from Colombia, and she still has her passport & cedula. We live in the US and considering a move to South America. While going to Colombia makes sense for ease of entry and citizenship for me… she’s not convinced because things don’t “just work” in Colombia. Therefore Chile is our second choice. This was very nice to hear you talk about Chile and see the process.
In my own personal opinion, if I were choosing to retire in LATAM then I would pick Chile.
The problem with living in a new country is the daily stuff (going to the bank, lining up at grocery stores, waiting for delivery people) like the boring stuff no bloggers can/will cover because no clicks.
To truly appreciate Chile, spend 3-6 months in Argentina/Colombia/Ecuador then go to Chile ;)
If you have this visa would that qualify you as “no transeúnte” if you have a child born there so that they can become a citizen at birth?
@@RC94332 I'm actually not sure of the answer to be honest
I'm a Chilean, so I will give some advice if you decide to go to Chile:
- Don't live in the downtown of Santiago, it's kind of ruined after the massive protests(more crime, dirty, very ugly now) in 2019, live either in Ñuñoa(the northern part), Providencia, Las Condes (El Golf is a good place), or Vitacura and Lo Barnechea, but these 2 are very residential like more for families.
- Santiago is much more expensive than Buenos Aires or any Colombian city, so you will have to spend at least 30% more.
- Chileans are not as sociable as people in other latam countries, we are nice but we are more introverted specially when knowing someone the first time, this makes it more difficult for people specially "gringos" who don't know spanish to feel integrated, we also smile less in general so a lot of americans who get used to be treated like that in other latam countries think we are mean or too serious, which is not the case, it's just that we are slower to open and we usually keep to ourselves in our already established friend groups, but if you put some effort I think you would be okay.
- If you know Spanish and want to live somewhere definitely I could recommend living in the south of Chile, the climate is more into the colder side but not so bad, cities like Valdivia, Pucon, Villarrica, Frutillar, Punta Arenas, have a high quality of living, very very low crime rates, decently affordable prices, these are mostly small cities so keep that in mind, very close to nature, lakes, trekking, mountains, some interesting mix with german culture (food, oktoberfest, architecture, german schools, beer brewing etc), good private schools and hospitals.
-I don't like the north of Chile, heavy illegal immigration, medium crime levels, too hot, arid environment, almost no trees, the south is much better (unless you go to the touristic places and not to live there like San Pedro de Atacama, Salares de Atacama, geysers del tatio, Valle de la luna, etc).
-The bad part about living anywhere but Santiago is that you won't find many or any gringos or europeans, most of them are in Santiago.
- we constantly have earthquakes but everything is built keeping that in mind, so don't panic and just wait for it to end, the worse thing you can do is run, buildings don't fall down lol
-as you said in the video I agree that Chile is better to live long-term, lower corruption, decent politics, stable economy, good banking, things work in general (if you have money lol) but if you're an expat or some digital nomad type who wants to have fun, move around, etc, I feel like you get more out of Argentina, Colombia or Brazil (in terms of social life, women, low cost of living, more relaxed latino culture, food culture, etc)
@@straussbolkonsky good info.
Good video. Could I get a permanent residency right away?
How long do I need to reside physically to get a Chilean citizenship?
Probably need to live there 6-8 years. Case by case but don't expect an easy path to citizenship.
@@NearShoreLiving Does Chile give PR or do I start with a Temporary Residency?
How about Mexico? I believe I don’t need to be in Mexico physically to get a passport.
@@RichFreedomDragon You'll start with a temporary and then move on to PR/citizenship
merci beaucoup , je suis curieuse de savoir en quoi consiste exactement l'examen médical ??
Doesn't the Chile two year renewable retirement visa have the same easy requirements as the one for Uruguay? Does that website require the personal documents to be apostiled, or are they flexible about it like Mexican consulates?
I'm not sure. To be honest, because Chile is one of those countries where people can just do it themselves, I've never really looked too deeply into the process.
My educated guess is that Chile is a lot more professional so I would assume that everything needs to be apostilled.
@@NearShoreLiving I presume a person should start by going to the Chilean consultate or mailing it in, with financial paperwork and apostilled birth and marriage certificates plus the police certificate?
@@dovygoodguy1296 Actually, Chile centralized their immigration process so consulates don't do it anymore (this is a good thing since it's what in my opinion, it's what makes it so straight forward)
You basically have to upload all the documents on their portal, make the payment, etc -> the one shown on the video and then wait.
@@NearShoreLiving Wow.... that's called user-friendly for sure. How long will it take for other countries to do it?! Can they guarantee that the signatures, stamps, etc. are all authentic that way? I guess if something is done incorrectly they reject it pretty quickly, such as a document without an apostile?
@@dovygoodguy1296 hahaha I am not sure how quickly but if you do, I would be curious to know the results.
Thanks for making the video. Two questions:
1- The minimum passive income per month to qualify for the Rentista Visa of Chile? Or is it possible to show Chilean Embassies some bank savings instead of monthly passive income to obtain this visa?
2- (After obtaining the permanent residency) Under the new inmigration law of Chile, it seems that the Chilean authorities do not require the minimum days (per year) of physical stay in Chile to be able to qualify for the Chilean citizenship. However, in practice applicants cannot acquire Chilean citizenship without residing in Chile after obtaining permanent residency?
Thank you, sir.
1- The process is no longer done through the embassy. But, yes. You should be able to show savings instead of income (but like always, this might vary depending on your passport) but in practice, yes.
2- Correct. Chilean citizenship isn't something that you will easily get. It does require living in the country and building serious ties to culture/country.
@@NearShoreLiving Thank you, sir.
@@NearShoreLiving However, (for the first question) under the current inmigration law are there any exact requirements for minimum monthly passive income or minimum bank deposit to qualify for the Rentista Visa?
@@4AM-4AM That’s the actual answer I’m looking for too.
My sister in law has been in contact with an immigration attorney, and it seems that $3000 is the preferred monthly income. I think that amount is for a couple or small family, but it's probably a safe number for an individual too.
Interesting I attempted to register a profile and in the drop down to make an account they do not list the USA / United States as an option. I guess us westerners can't apply?
Maybe under "Estados Unidos" or something along those lines? or EEUU?
Hello NearSure, How long does it take to get Chile Citizenship? And how do I apply for residence whilst on a tourist Visa?
You can apply for it online and then have to go to Chile to finish the process.
Give it 6-8 years to get.
Is there a minimum age requirement for the Argentinian "pensionado" visa?
Off top of my head (I could be wrong) -> No. But you will need to prove that you are legally retired of sorts.
Is Chile require me to make certain amount of money per month as expat?
Yeah, it should be a few thousands dollars
@@NearShoreLiving Do you know the exact amount or should I ask the consulate?
@@Rain-ec4jj The consulate doesn't deal with this anymore. It's all done directly online (see the video for the link) -> I think it's around $2-3k/month but you might want to double check in expat groups or something along those lines.
are there any stay requirements in order to maintain your residency?
Not really but if you don't stay in Chile, you will never move forward with PR or citizenship
more than 183 days (in total) outside for a year (twelve months) and you'll loose it
Do you have to pay both US and Chilean taxes if you’re a US citizen and have residency in Chile?
If you live in Chile, you have to report taxes in Chile and it you're American then you'll have to report taxes in the US BUT keep in mind that there are tax treaties and tax breaks for Americana that live abroad
Should the passport, background certificate and other document be legalized or apostilled by the Chilean consulate in my country?
You might want to check with Chilean immigration directly
@@NearShoreLiving hmmm thought u went through the same process ?
Because it will take long time to get residency in Chile, I may have to go back to US after my tourist card expire in 90 days. I'm currently paying my rent in US. When I'm applying for residency I have to stay in Chile long period of time. If I have to stay I will have to give up my apartment in US. Do you know what can I do?
Application is done online and then you go to Chile to transfer into a temporary residency of sorts.
Are you planning to move to Chile?
@@NearShoreLiving Hello, thanks for reply. I'm not sure yet. Can i get permanent residency instead of temporary ones?
In Chile, you have to live there for a few years to get PR
Did you share the link for the website? I can’t find it
It’s the top pinned comment on the video
Thank you for your insightful content 🙏
I wonder if you’d recommend Chile for digital nomads. I work for a US startup, but live in Asia. I wonder if I could work from Chile, and maybe get a residency.
Where in Asia do you live? Chile is great but depending on where you're coming from, you might have to get used to certain things About this part of the world
@@NearShoreLiving I'm a digital nomad so I've lived in a few places (Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Dubai). I'm from Pakistan though.
I wonder if I could qualify as a Rentista (a few thousand USD in salary, and some savings).
Can I come back to Chile as many times I want as US tourist? If it is, can I go back in 2 days?
Not 100% sure - there might be some limitations. Check the visa requirements on Wikipedia.
Can tourist get residence permit in chile.?
Depends on the type of residency
