Chile Forum

No offense cause you know more details about what you want but so far none of this makes sense to me.... If you do not want to manufacture or sell in Chile then having an employee in Chile doing computer work accomplishes what exactly? I fully realize that in today's day and age where many work from home, communicating via videoconferencing is cheap, etc. it is easier but it seems to me you are adding untold layers of headaches by having people all over the world if they are not servicing needs in the markets they live in.

Best of luck though.

I would say that depends on where you are looking for land.

Operative word is *accessible*, which in my book excludes southern Chile because it's so remote from anywhere. At current exchange rates land has become really expensive in this country.[/quote]

true, if you go too far south. Otherwise for a lot of biz, it gets you cheaper labor and cheaper facilities. Really being anywhere on the panamerican highway for a manufacturing biz or something that needs internet, near any medium size city, with decent communications, and an airport amounts to the same thing in Chile.

People come visit us in Frutillar, and spend more time getting to the Santiago airport stuck in traffic than on the plane. So far we seem to have little trouble getting people to come see us in Frutillar, including clients that live near Temuco but almost never visited our offices there.

The most fun is when my wife is on the phone with one of the big law firms in Santiago, and the attorney asks why we are in Frutillar. We explain we can work anywhere, and you can hear them swear under their breath.

In the present case, it sounds like the OP is looking for an office in a place he can enjoy that also gets him the tax break for visiting Chile. Totally worthy cause in my book.
