While the rate is increasing, in my understanding, here in Chile there's a limit to the "Renta imponible" of about 2500€ per month. That limit doesn't exist in Portugal. Since my income is higher that that - even when accounting for "gastos presuntos" - te Chilean system is the cheaper option for m...

4) as a foreigner you can opt out of AFP, as long as you save into a similar program outside Chile (and can prove it).

I asked an opinion in ChileAtiende and was told that I can ask for a tourist visa extension in PDI at the last day of the visa, considering my circumstances.

When I get that letter, you can appeal the rise with the Superintendencia de Salud. You don't need a lawyer at all. You have to upload a pdf copy of your letter to the website and both sides of your cédula. You have to do this within a month of receiving the letter. While this trámite is in process...

---Someone told me you can negotiate the prices but it's time consuming and hardly worth it.

(And nothing has changed in 6 yrs) They are trying...

I use Uber all the time in Santiago. So far, no problems. I know that they are operating in a gray zone, but they are so much better than the taxis. No bitching and complaining, newer and more comfortable cars, lower prices, more cars available in outskirts (try getting a taxi in Chicureo or get a t...

Yes, last year was pretty dry in Santiago. However, no rain so far this year is pretty standard. Average in the last 30 years is 3.9mm to date. I am not going to worry about that yet. 2017 wasn't that bad. I remember hoping that the drought was over, but unfortunately it doesn't seem so. check https...

It is comparing to S&P Chile BMI, not S&P 500

I am leaving The States for 2-3 years and looking for a great city for my family. I have a wife, 2 kids that both speak Spanish decently well (the oldest near fluent), and are looking for a coastal (scenic if possible), mid-sized city with a good school for our kids and access to good health care. ...
