Yeah, PDI these days is just swamped with immigrants (not just the PDI obviously). If it's possible to do some paperwork in a town outside of Santiago, it's usually advisable.........it could make the experience faster and less painful.

There's always been talk about changing immigration law, including from the current administration, but until a law is actually approved and signed, it's just talk. The old law is still current. The admin here knows plenty about the topic.

whereas "secondly whether I can even get a mortgage as a foreign contractor paid in another currency" is probably going to take a lot longer and involve traveling into town, queueing in the bank only to be told so and so is unexpectedly in the other location today, trying to find out how to get my ...

My information may be outdated, as it has been a few years, but as a US citizen with permanent residency in Chile and married to a Chilena, in my experience there never was a "marriage visa." I've seen this term "marriage visa" thrown around a few times with this particular thread and what I got bef...

America is only supporting them now, because Venezuela has defaulted on most of its bonds and the Oil has stopped flowing in any significant amount. The U.S. placing sanctions on Venezuelan oil exports, is pretty mea...

Yikes. Yeah I also think it would be better if anyone from the White House just says "paso."

Ironically enough I am in a similar situation (permanent resident for years in Chile, eligible to apply for citizenship, have a main job locally, now have a side job earning income online outside of Chile). Since my side job is paid in dollars and those dollars go to a US bank account (and never ent...

I'm not sure where everybody else here shops in Chilito but I see it happen here ALL. THE. TIME.

In my opinion, you should try La Parva. It is my favourite place of all. You will definitely have a fantastic time there. That has got to be spam. In fact, let me help you with that. here is there web site: https://www.laparva.cl Everyone have a look at the photos, and how they are super tight, at ...
