I received my visa in tramite letter but it oddly says No to my work permit(maybe an error?). I know I signed that I wanted a work permit. I've been submitting boletas for the last month since I was switching from one visa to another and already had a RUT & clave...is that okay or am I going to have tax/government issues at the end of the year since I am technically working "illegally?"

could be an error... i think we need more information, like you are switching from which visa to what, and why etc ...

yea, more information needed.

Also, immigration is making more errors these days than they are getting things right. Even if you ask someone at immigration, there is a good chance you will get the wrong answer.

How to qualify for a work visa, and if you qualify for one, are becoming more of an art than a science depending on which office you apply at and which immigration official is processing your application. Some just issue them. Some will make you prove you have a job offer. Some will want a professional degree, legalized, officially translated, and so on. It is not a given just for checking the box any more.

also where are you from? how long you been here...

my advice if sii is setup to take your money, and your new visa allows you to take boletas... (subject to contracto does not), i would just keep working , but thats not without knowing anything and who knows if its illegal....
