Fulfillment
The Company provides two main services:

- relocation and immigration services: delivered electronically and in-person.
The following policies apply to these services:
Online Consulting Sessions
Cancellation and Refund Policy:
- The Client may cancel and receive a full refund for the consulting session if the cancellation is made at least 48 hours before the scheduled appointment time.
- For cancellations made within 48 hours of the appointment, no refund will be issued, but the Client may reschedule the session.
- In the event of a no-show at the agreed date/time without prior notification, no refund will be provided.
Relocation and Immigration Services
Service cost
The cost of each service is indicated in the quote provided by the Company. This fixed price applies only to the specific service requested and does not guarantee future pricing when renewing the service.
The Client acknowledges that the immigration fees charged by the Chilean immigration service are defined by the Ministry of Interior and accepts that the immigration fee amount indicated in the quote may vary without notice. The Company cannot guarantee that the immigration fees will remain the same for future immigration procedures / visa renewals.
Payment Terms
- Payment: The Client agrees to prepay 50% of the agreed-upon service cost before the start of any immigration or relocation service. The Company will not start any service until payment has been received. For visa applications, immigration fees must generally be paid when filing the application, so they are due at the beginning of the service, or at the latest, before filing the application. The company won't file a visa application until the visa fees have been paid. For permanent residency and citizenship application, the visa fees are due later during the process and the Company will inform the Client. The remaining part is due when reaching 50% completion of the service: immigration application approved / rental contract signed for example.
- Refund: The first 50% of each service is non-refundable. The immigration fees can be refunded by the Company if the application has not been sent. Once the application has been sent, refund shall be requested by the Client directly to the immigration service and the General Treasury of the Republic.
