More details
Chile residency is structured under Law 21.325 (the 2022 Migration Law), with all applications submitted digitally from abroad through the Servicio Nacional de Migraciones (SERMIG) Portal de Tramites. The Investor Visa requires USD 500,000 in productive goods or services with InvestChile approval. Alternative routes include the Rentista category (passive income benchmark of USD 1,000 to USD 1,500 monthly) and the Jubilado retirement category. Permanent residency follows after 12 or 24 months of Residencia Temporal, and Chilean citizenship is available after 5 years of continuous legal residence.
Chile combines OECD-member economic stability, a sophisticated banking system, and one of Latin America's strongest passports with visa-free access to approximately 174 countries including the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Japan. New foreign tax residents enjoy a 3-year exemption on foreign-source income, extendable by 3 additional years on application to the Servicio de Impuestos Internos.
