Got it, thanks. I have decent enough Spanish and I was getting quite frustrated when researching about this, no one said anything directly about what exactly the reform is about. But it makes sense for me to not find much if it was meant to be opaque by design. I tend to treat government-mandated re...

Any thoughts on what's been proposed for the AFP reform? All I see are mentions of an extra 4% for the "pilar solidário", whatever that means, and I couldn't find a single source breaking it down in laymen terms.

I believe that most expats have some sort of policy against bad customer service, such as not returning to the store/restaurant or straight out walking out if they're not well served. It just happens that the passive-aggressiveness isn't as ingrained in other cultures as it is in Chileans, so immigr...

But Chilean (and Singaporean) citizens can apply for a separate H1B lottery. It's not like there isn't a way for her to get in. Gah!

My thoughts as well. I'm not happy that she lost her baby, and that's a terrible story. But it's not like she couldn't go after healthcare in Peru.

I know there's a jazz club right next to Mall Plaza Egaña. Might be worth a shot

$10,000 - $20,000 dollars is a reasonable per-person figure to cover living expenses for a year in Chile, depending on your lifestyle. So yeah, it isn't remotely close to being enough to start a farming business.

SII also seems to be chasing "influencers" due to possible tax evasion.
