We need to get more info on how it is transmitted before we can really understand how big of a problem this is. It seems that it can be transmitted like a flu and it's highly transmissible, so a widespread epidemy is actually possible. Given enough people being infected, the death count can soar pre...

I went to Registro Civil in Colina and it all worked out in the end. It seems that they have been getting way more people than usual due to them being one of the closest to Santiago that doesn't require you to get a time in advance, so I was on the line for about 2 hours. But the actual procedure wa...

Quick question on this point: is it possible to renew your cédula at any registro civil, or does it have to be at the one nearest to where you live? The government's website wasn't really helpful on this.

For Spanish food, I like going to Txipirón in Viña del Mar. They have very good tapas and paellas.
Banchan Nara is a nice Korean dig in Santiago. It's on Loreto street, in Recoleta.

They have an office at Santiago airport where you can get the fines calculated so you can pay them. They only do that there is you have a flight on the same day (or a weekend flight, if you go there on a Friday). You'll need to pay the fine at a bank, and Chilean banks open from 9 am to 2 pm. So it ...

Conspiracy theory: the plan was to always appear weak so that the end in in fact will be mano dura. Not like there is anything wrong with that... Gov is shit theory: there is no plan, of course the end result is mano dura see line one. SÍ/Left wins: I'm glad I don't own real estate in Chile. "NO" w...

Actually, I was ready to start deleting posts when I saw the amount of threads kicked to the top by the same poster. Initially looked like a Friday night spam attack :P But...

Chile does have anti money-laundering laws, and you need to declare anything over USD $10,000 in cash when you enter the country. It's very common to withdraw cash in Chilean pesos at ATMs (there are fees, discussed at another topic. TL;DR Banco Estado is your friend), and I'm not aware about any li...

Thank you all for your contributions to this newcomer butting in. Changing the subject to why Chile over any other place in the world , including my hometown... It sounds like Chile is suitable if you like the 'great outdoors' (I am a small city man). I live in British Columbia and I can see the wi...

You might want to start by reading the "Opening a bank account" topic in this same sundown subforum. It will work best for you if you do your research instead of asking open-ended questions.

You're looking at the wrong place if you want to find facts about Argentina. Very few here have lived in Argentina recently (as opposed to visit), so you're better off checking an Argentinean forum. If you do have a figure that you would like to ask about Chile, then you're in the right place. But y...
