Tell me what you think of Chile! I know it's beautiful! Would you want to retire here?
yes its amazing!!
What about taxes?
@@22utoo There is a flat 19% tax in all purchases done on formal commerce. The tax is always incorporated in the advertised price. So sometime you do not even notice it. There is no tax on pensions. Tips are optional in restaurants and hotels, never compulsory.
@@gerardred8147 17%???
@@Pilar.1402 19%. Thank you. I have corrected it.
Algeria 🇩🇿 always stands with Chile 🇨🇱 United and amicable
Beautiful... the country and yourself.
Why does Algeria stand with Chile?
@@prayunceasingly2029 Why not?
Algeria is lovely
@@charleskristiansson1296 I don't know, I was curious. It just seems so random.
So many beautiful landscapes in Chile!.
Wow! I never knew how very beautiful Chile is - till now. Thank you.😊🌹❤️
Awesome presentation! Thank you!
I have been to 🇨🇱 twice. One through my job and the CONAMA. And a second time to attend a friends wedding. 🇨🇱 rocks!
You chose a photo of Valparaíso instead of Barrio Italia, but great video :)
Excellently prepared! Thank you. I found the information and the presentation thoughtful and interesting.
Looks beautiful!!!
Good job, great presentation
Thank you! Very informative and reassuring!
THANKS ,GOOD INFO , WELL DONE
Thanks sir for your useful information about Chile .you speak English very clearly and covering all aspects. God bless you 🙏
Good insight big ups
Great video.
Nice video and I have subscribed
I love the clear blue skies: you don't get too much of that here in England
From The center of chile to the south is a bether life in chile cheep food more lakes and rivers .
Fotos de 30 años atrás. Una foto de Valparaiso como si fuera el centro de Santiago. Muchos errores, y datos obsoletos.
I'm still waiting for election results, but am considering moving to Chile. Thank you for the info.
I’d love to move there regardless. Maybe we will meet one day.
If that’s your reasoning I hope you never move from where your at
So did you move to Chile?
If you voted for Biden just stay where you're at
If anyone on the left wins, wait 5 years to see what happens. Anyone with money is starting to pull out.
This is where I'm going to escape from the American Civil War. I hope they are accepting refugees.
That's why I'm watching this video 😂
Same lol
@@ericcampbell4526 me too..🤣
You will be welcome
@@pocketanime with the exception of the Mapuche in Pucón I have always been treated very well in Chile. In hotels they will not steal from you..but if you leave something in your room and check out they will take it; their thinking is "People from the US have so much..it is not stealing. Also..they will dig thru your trash. I quickly learned to take my trash with me and discreetly toss it in a can near the metro. In a 4 star hotel I threw away a shirt that was old..2 days later I saw a worker wearing it as a hostess for the breakfast!
Chile is SUPER AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to move there.
I am open to the move.
It’s just stunning
Thank you 😊 👍🏼
Wonderful just Subbed
Maravilloso
Great video man thank you really helpful as I want to move to chili
The crime , offenders and narco is wining more and more day by day here in Chile . The laws is very soft . It is beautiful, however , it is being invaded by the local crime and oversea crime . It is sad but true . The government has delayed too much in change the law.
Wow, the fearmongering
True
A certain type will whine about crime everywhere. Same fear mongering happens in the usa and canada
this is the typical opinion of the right wing people so dont take it seriously
Is that all over the country?
I want to live in Chile too but not retire there 🤣 pretty sure I'll be working at least passively my whole life.
Excellent video, you've shared information for all of the questions I would've asked. And your pics are on point.
@Mike B. I'm glad it was helpful!
hahahaha you are a liar
Can you update some of these videos? Would be nice as changes have happened in many places. 😊
He passed away.
Thanks 😃
@Kavia Victorine. You're welcome!
Im a tall Latino 6'4 230 lb.
I stick out . Feel like target anywhere in south American. Always have my guard up. Feel like im about to get roll up on😮
hey, im from Chile and now we have a lot of security problems, we are not far from Brazil or Colombia crime rates.
The beaches in Chile are not cool because the water is always so cold. Also, we have water problems in the central zone some towns dont have water, healthcare is a shit, even if you have money you cant cost private hospitals and you cant have securance if you are older than 60yold.
People are not friendly anymore since october 2019 (social outburst) , the people are alert and afraid for the crime rates.
Yeah, the healthcare is garbage, but hey!!! At least you wont go bankrupt like in the us!! (Help me) 🎉
do not believe this
Good informative video. I look to be in Chile to learn Spanish come January 2019 and plan to do the Tourist Visa then The Retirement Visa.
@sammie smith. That sounds like an excellent plan! I hope all goes well for you!
Would be well served to consider Bolivia. They speak a slower and much more proper spanish. Even Chilenas say their spanish sounds like birds singing compared to Chilena lengua. It is also much less expensive in Bolivia.
@@williameason1194 As a Chilean I have to admit that the Spanish that many Chileans use is very relaxed and full of slang words, also we speak fast and modulate poorly. However educated Chileans and teachers will always speak proper standard Spanish which is understood everywhere. And most Chileans - not all - will also speak correct and slow standard Spanish if faced with a foreigner. On the other hand once you learn the Chilean Spanish you will be able to understand every other Spanish variation with ease. Yes Bolivian speak good Spanish if their native tongue is Spanish, but many Bolivians use Spanish as a second language. The same can be said of Peruvians but to a less degree, as they have mostly abandoned their native language. From my experience, Venezuelans and Colombians do speak better Spanish in the American countries. With Peruvians in a close second place. But it will be easy for you to live in Chile than to live in any other South American country because the culture and the standard of living is much closer to the USA and you will be safe.
Chile is not the best to.learn correct spanish. You will need to learn a slang a side . Lots of it. Ah and the healthcare is not good period.

What is the weather temperature? It is beautiful. Great video thank you.
In santiago it can go to 30 degrees in summer and in winter it can get to -1 degrees celcius in the morning. 😊
I would like to retire here. Excellent information and images. The music was distracting (to me). Thanks!
I think I's nice place to retire specially it's situated in the southern hemisphere due to climate changes,
Nice video how about viña Del Mar
@Edgar Baquero. Have to look into that. Thanks for your suggestion!
All we can say is... We are the best country of Chile, brother
Can you do a video on buying larger acreages to retire on
🇨🇱❤️
I love what you did! Thanks. Can you tell me how to migrate there?
Hello Celena ist very easy into at Chile. But Chile is not the country more cheap of sudamerica because its a few more delopment than other countries from heare.
But Chile is very nice for to have a prety life. The normal food is heathy, we have the 4 wether stations.
I from sud of Chile and I think is more nice than Santiago for to life and cheap too .
In heathy we have 2 options of the state and private But the hospitalary sistems works joins.
If you have any cuestion you can write me 👍
@@jonathanvadir what are the best cities in chile ? Cheap cities with job opportunities
Where did You get those prices for rent of apartments, food, restaurants and so on? We are going to Chile regularly to visit our family there and the costs are rising year for year. It depends also
to the exchange rate of the chilean Peso. But Chile in fact is the most expensive country in South America! You're right, that the health system for people with a good asurance is very good, especially in Santiago and other bigger cities and it's cheap.
There is always cheaper zones even into the cities. Advice from a local it's suggested.
@@pocketanime nope, right now in all towns, rent is so expensive. This is because in Chile we are living a housing deficit.
@@florenciafinster5664 I'm moving to Barcelona next year. A room 1 hour far from Barcelona it's almost the twice as expensive to a student room in Valparaíso or Viña del Mar. Not even talking about ticket fares. The train triples the expense by fare. In fact, even with the housing crisis the rent it's nit high compared to other countries.
@@florenciafinster5664 Also: Santiago ppl complex of superiority and lack of regional awareness forgets that our little cities in other regions have more land space and cheaper rent.
@@pocketanime I live in other region 4 hours to Santiago. I know about this because I'm living here and I know the rent is expensive.
So, if I want to revise my tourist visa indefinitely, how long do I have to leave the country?
Can you explain the Tourist, Temporary and Permanent Resident visas?
Tourist 90 days
Temporary you can work, it expires in year and then you need to apply to the Permanent one
Ronin, Chile seems to be the perfect place to retire to (from an American's point of view). Close enough to the US yet inexpensive. One question: My wife is Chinese, and she would feel more comfortable knowing there is a thriving Asian community so she can get the food she likes to prepare. I read that there are about 200,000 Asian people, mostly Chinese and centered in Santiago. Have you seen that on the ground? THanks!
John Smythe I think you can find Chinese people anywhere in Chile but specially Santiago, many people live there and there are also Chinese stores/malls, restaurants, etc. (You can find places with chinese food, korean food and more)
You can be just walking out there and you’ll spot a Chinese person (most of the times)
@@anvv846 Thanks, Cherrygguk! That's good news.
@@johnsmythe1841 That's not good news...
Every thriving country on earth has a chinatiown...
There are Chinese people in every province here !!!
Hello, looks like a great video. Now my questions is how do you keep your Pentions, your Social Security and any investent you have in USA, I would like to move there, whould I still need an address in the USA to be able to collect my investments while leaving in Chile?
Thank you for your response
What do you need to move to chill. Thanks.
@Kavia Victorine. Hello! Point 8, in the vlog, should cover the basics for what may be required.
Interesting pronunciations sprinkled through the video
Can you talk about the real estate prices
👏👏👏👍
The music was American, ragtime-like, I suppose, and does not match. I prefer no music so I can focus on your excellently written narrative. Best wishes. Thanks!
What are the vaccine requirements to gain citizenship, if any?
WHERE CAN I RETIRE IF I WANT TO BUY 10 TO 20 ACRES IN WARM CLIMATE AWAY FROM CITY BUT CLOSE ENOUGH IT ISN'T A HASSLE TO GET STUFF..THX
Can you please do one video on Brazil
@Idgla Reinhard. Yes, actually Brazil is on the list for me to do. Just have a lot of vlogs before it, I'll make sure to make one for Brazil!
@@roninblue5885 I love Brazil, been there a few times. But affordability (at least currently) is an issue. EVERYTHING costs more in Brazil. So one thing you'd have to do is bring all your electronics down with you and when it's time to buy a new tablet, it might be cheaper to fly to Miami to get it (or whatever city you came from in the US), as they'll be twice as much in Brazil. Also, you wouldn't want to buy or rent a house in most of Brazil...you want a condo or apartment. Folks WILL do a home invasion (we know people who had their houses invaded and it's something everyone EXPECTS). Condos and apartments in cities like Sao Paulo and Rio are the way to go...you have a gate you get buzzed into, then the guard looks at you and the visitor's list and buzzes you into the buidling itself and THEN you're allowed to get on the elevators. Our friends down there call it 'The Cost to Live in Paradise'. LOL.
Great video. Thank you.
I'm retired and a US citizen living in the US. I'm investigating moving my retirement to Chile. I'm single. Would $5000 a month allow me to live comfortably anywhere in Chile?
Yeaj, thats like 10 times the minimum wage 😅
Why do you show Valparaiso when you're talking about the Barrio Italia?
Santiago is great for wine, food, safety, and overall quality of life. However I would not go there for the people.
where are you from? so i figure you out. where are you from.and where do you live? if you have the balls to tell the truth. would love to make you cry
I think the people is the best part of Chile, we are very close to each other and have solidarity towards others, we always greet people and are interested in how they're doing, maybe you have not meet the right Chileans
@@billmuno7191 hahaha did you just prove him right?
@@data_expung5d are you chilean ?
In what year was this report?
That country’s the longest drive on the straight line lol
Looking for assistance to obtain Chile visa.
Being that this video is 4 years old, how much have the prices changed?
Now we have first world prices in most products and services, except alcohol and tobacco maybe, they are cheaper here than Canada, NZ or Australia
It has changed a lot
@@miguelrobles4907 Tabacco is cheaper in Chile but not beer, it is cheaper in New Zealand, probably not Australia beer is expensive there, wine is normally cheaper in Chile. But like you say, nearly everything else is now about the same as many first world countries
Chile is living the worst economic crisis in almost 40 Years, the prices went up and show no sign of going down. With the coronavirus pandémic, the goverment allowed people take the 10% of their retirement of the AFP system, IT helped but then Allowed a second, third and fourth 10% retirement, so inflation went to the roof
@@camilamoll3343Thank you for your response. What I have read is that Chile has one of the counties with the lowest national debt and has a relatively high GDP. Furthermore, I was under the impression that the country has an export surplus. It's hard to believe the country is struggling financially .
🇨🇱💞💙
🇨🇱🇨🇱
How much do you pay for a 5 or 6 day maid for a month?
Chile is super expensive and politically unstable. A few years back mobs went on a rampage in Santiago destroying everything in sight even burning down the subway system. The sea water all along the coast is freezing 🥶 due to Humboldt current coming up from the Antarctic. Major socio-economic differences. I’m Chilean and won’t go back.
Where do you live now ?
@@souiritv8355 She lives in Baltimore
@@michaelkyne7880 ok
Just found your channel.
I looking for a retiring place even i have still 4 more years to work. If i can i want flee earlier from my Country. It has nothing to offer me anymore.
But i think about to prepare before. example. buy a property.
You made a lot of videos about living in.
The Country's on my list are. Costa Rica, Philippines, Chile, Paraguay or Slowenia.
But Slowenia is in the EU that makes it unattractive. Because EU is a bad construct.
2 of the mentioned Country's you already has a video, what about the others?
My self is German and my Wife is Philippina.
Nice to meet you, yes there are so many countries to choose from, I hope you find your gem! I should be out there@
Hello, please consider Frutillar in Chile. It's a beautiful town among a gigantic lake with heavy German heritage. Even a German museum. Cheers!
the weather is too cold..
But you have Easter Island
Iquique is sunny all year round
The country is thousands of kilotmeters long on a vertical líne, the Weather changes un every part. The north is desertic, then a dry hot weather, then moving south there are more rain and cold heathers and the austral zone is a big, beautiful, block of ice
As soon as Covid 19 finishes I am travelling to Chile and I am very interested in retiring there, a little bit worried about having enough money to retire though. I wonder in the cities outside Santiago how easy/ tough it would be to get a part time job or small business.?
I think you should try the south, if you like volcanos, forest and lakes
I think as a gringo you should be right for work with so many tourists heading over there now and you will also have a different input and ideas for the locals everything American does very well there.
You have to know that the minimum wage here is around 400 us dolars.
@@danielortega5877 It's like you said the keywords of what I am looking for
Is not easy, the minimum wage is about 400 dollars wich explains why Most chileans are in debt, the housing is way to expensive (most wage goes to paying a house that is not even yours, but a rent) and little, in Chile, a normal house is a two bedroom one bathroom house with a few square meters of patio. The calefaction outside Santiago, moving south is primarely wood (moving to parafin and pellets, but mostly wood) wich is expensive and you need to know your trees because some doesnt give good heat. For retirement age is 65, and the retirement fond is delivered every month and for the 60% of people is about 200 dollars so is common to see old people working part time little Jobs or basically being aid by the sons and daughters. But, as hard as it is, people get though, so you can too
Can you explain what a RUT is?
Is like a DNI, u can search it
Rol único tributario. Unique number that allows you to sign contracts, have bank accounts, and things like that
RUT is the national ID number
ID basically
Food in Chile is more expensive than Brasil l
How do I go in buying a house, ?country side for me,.
@Kavia Victorine. Hi. Point 6 briefly covers the topic.
Getting a lawyer in your local area that understands the specific laws in this country would be what is recommended however.
I was searching palestinians and chileans and i arrived here XD.
my research shows that chile suffers from even more earthquakes than freaking japan!
True but the death rate from earthquakes is actually quite low, also the architecture is built to withstand even the strongest earthquakes .... usually the newer the architecture the safer the building and better building code.
Yes, but the construction technologies and infraestructure here are awesome. Even bridges are prepared for an earthquake.
It trembles every day. You’re having lunch and the chandelier is swinging above your head.
All medications?
Oxy? MS Contin?
Been on the stuff 16 years, I'm not a druggo, I'm legit.
Make sure you realize very few people speak English and Chilean Spanish is not understood by native Spanish speakers from other country in Latin America. There is great uncertainty and violence now because of social unrest. Santiago looks like a war zone in most of the communes. Although the metro is efficient..it is dangerous now with the social unrest. Tourists are targeted. I do not agree with you about Chile being a good place to retire.
Santiago it's pretty bad to retire but what do you think about Frutillar, Puerto varas and Valdivia? Those places are awesome and very safe.
@@pocketanime The Mapuches are the indigenous people in Los Lagos and there is quite of bit of bitterness towards others buying up "their" land. With the new government turnover in March, Chile has been downgraded in terms of international investment; there is great uncertainty now that I believe will last for at least 5 years. Chile is not a cheap place to live..and again in those areas you mentioned very few people speak English. In addition if you drive to Los Lagos Región from STGO there is one way to get there..an expensive toll road. There are blockages where they set tires on fire to prevent people from passing and people are robbed. They come out of nowhere. This is not narcotrafficing..just robbery.
@@ksmith2852 The Mapuches will not take over Frutillar and Puerto Varas. Those are really peaceful
@@ksmith2852 Chile is not expensive. Just average. Anyone from the US or Europe with good savings can live a peaceful life here.
@@pocketanime There is resentment and battles over rights to land. And personally I did have a problem with a Mapuche man in Pucón. It took place in front of a local and he was afraid to confront the Mapuche.
are you sure now?
I would NOT want to retire at all….
And Chile doesn't have poisonius snakes or dangerous carnivorous animals for humans
@Roberto Vilches. Thank god there are no poisonous snake! Do you go hiking?
There’s only a venomous spider (araña de rincón) that has a natural predator spider (araña tigre)
Beware of spiders
100 percent agree..never been bitten or stung by anything in Chile. In Mexico and Costa Rica everything wants to eat you!
@@pocketanime I do know of 2 people in Stgo who got bitten by a spider...
What’s it like if you don’t speak Spanish?
Very few people speak any English..even in hotels in Stgo. And it is Chilean Spanish
Almost no one speaks english, is not that the english education is bad, but the people show very little interest on it
I am from Chile. And I can tell you first had that Chile is not a place I would choose to live in. Chile is supper expensive. I live in California and when I go to visit my family I am just shocked at the cost of living in Chile. Plus, it's not a safe place. Unless you live in an apartment with security. Let's not forget the social unrest in the 2019. That has never really gone away.
Chile is a little "retirado,"..
I was born in Santiago Chile and I am happy I got out of there just before the Pinochet Military Coup. I would NOT recommend to retire into a country that is getting like Venezuela with the same corruption and communism in which the occupy your house or they burn it if they want and justice does nothing and let criminals and marxists go free and rampant to continue their crimes. I used to go yearly there and enjoy it as a tourist but I stopped visiting in 2019. You have to be stupid to live there with bad efficiency, bad medical service (I am a Doctor) and bureaucracy corrupt and cost of living very high and rising price of Dollars.
Are you saying Chile is a communist country? You clearly are incrediblt ignorant and gullible. That is pure right-wing fearmongering. Chile is not at all a communist country, nor will it ever be.
@@Pyps0403
Recently they voted in a socialist government. A stock I was considering buying went down 20% because their main mine is in Chile and they voted in that government!
@@Pyps0403
Gabriel Boric won and he was the socialist candidate
@@prayunceasingly2029 I am Chilean and live in Santiago dude, Boric is not a socialist
@@Pyps0403
All the news about him says he's socialist.
For me to live in a country, i must be able to own guns. Hunt animals with those guns and not have my right ever be threatened!
I do not care about food.
I care about the economy and how it's going in that country. Also, history is very important. Chile has been chile for a very long time and other countries do not want to take it over.
I do not want to go to war for a monarch so, they country has to be neutral in a sense. Or far away from everything or politically chill.
Cost of living is the next most important thing, but not how you think.
Cost of living for me is the ability to grow your own food, because inflation.
The ability to own large plots of land and this comes with low property taxes.
Further more the total tax for it's citizens is important too.
The most important in terms of cost of living is the ability to make money without the governments eye. Just in case i need to.
That's pretty much all i need. So, not norway because wildlife can't be killed.
Not canada because its almost impossible to own a gun... or new zealand.
Not extremely small islands because i think you can't really hunt there.
We have beavers and wild boars in the south of Chile. Invasive species, they can be killed.
No sticking around, lazy !
I am from Chile I will never live there no way
Why would you not want to live there? Or did you mean "leave", not "live"?
😂🤣😂
Why don’t you want to live in Chile?
Awesome, stay away from Chile, we don’t want anymore Communists in here. Aweonao.
Learn Spanish and respect Hispanic Culture or nothing.
You need to retire that hair cut bruh
@Louise Saint Martine. Haha, yes I have. Was going through a phase of wanting to grow it once.
@@roninblue5885 lol thanks for being cool about it...I was just flipping you shit. Thanks for making this video...very informative sir. God speed in your adventures.
Louise Saint Martine you are a disgusting bully and he’s another level of education that can’t compare with your miserable life. Do you have a mirror ? I bet your fucking ugly or your life is just very miserable for your stupid comment.
@@sheilagonzalez4768 chill tfo, he wasn't offended. Why are you?
Terrible pronunciation of place names.
I wanted to retire to Chile, but after left-wing rioters destroyed the country I cancelled my plans, I already have that at home. I will be looking for a country that uses peaceful democratic means to express political opinions.
Very true. The Left is destroying Chile and have covered Santiago in graffiti.
Greetings. The country hasn't been destroyed. Ever heard of the French revolution? Or the American one? Sometimes, change needs to be spurred, or won't happen. In Chile, social inequalities had become unbearable. This video is addressed to people with lots of money; life is quite different when you don't have a house in Las Condes, but in La Pintana, and your retirement pension, privately managed, gives the owners of the insurance companies profits even during international economic crises, whereas your pension won't allow you to eat the whole month.
We Chileans are very patient. There were decades of injustice what are being addressed now.
Come, if you are brave. This is like America in the XVIII century. No mass shootings.
Things might change is Kast wins this Novembers presidential election.
Wow, the amount of ignorance and idiocy in these three comments is astonishing!
Actually Puerto Varas, Frutillar and Valdivia are very peaceful to live and there is a lot of culture, nature and european migrants.
