Service Overview

What exactly is included in the Settling-in Package?

Our package includes immediate connectivity tools (Chilean SIM card, mobile phone activation, power adapters), personal registration assistance (bank account, mobile contract, healthcare system overview), and home utility setup (gas, electricity, water, internet, TV, insurance). Everything you need to start your life in Chile.

How long does the settling-in process typically take?

Most services can be completed within 1-2 weeks of your arrival. We coordinate everything to minimize your time investment and maximize efficiency.

Do you provide ongoing support after the initial setup?

Yes, the package includes follow-up support for 30 days to ensure everything is working correctly. We also provide guidance on next steps and can connect you with our ongoing Expat Support service for continued assistance with daily needs.

Can the package be customized based on our specific needs?

Absolutely. While we have a standard package covering essentials, we can add or remove services based on your situation. For example, families might need additional services.

Technical Setup

What mobile network and internet providers do you work with?

We work with all major Chilean providers (Movistar, Claro, Entel, WOM) for mobile services, and internet providers like VTR, Movistar, and GTD. We recommend the best option based on your location, usage needs, and budget requirements.

Are the utility connections guaranteed to work on our move-in date?

We coordinate with utility companies to ensure services are active when you arrive. However, final activation sometimes depends on building management and technical factors beyond our control. We handle all complications and provide backup solutions if needed.

What if we need additional power adapters or technical equipment?

The package includes 3 power socket adapters, but we can provide more if needed. We also help source other technical equipment like voltage converters, cable adapters, or specific electronics you might need for your devices.
