Chile has drastically restricted the visas that one can get while in Chile. However, if you are applying for a visa due to a family link with a Chilean, it is possible to file an application in Chile. Otherwise, we recommend initiating the process before coming to Chile.

The number and type of documents required depend on the visa type. Therefore, we can make one list of documents that fits everyone.

While no one can guarantee visa approval (as final decisions rest with Chilean immigration), we guarantee that if your first application is rejected due to documentation or process errors, we'll assist with reapplication at no additional cost. Our approval rate exceeds 95%.

While we cannot speed up government processing times, we can recommend the fastest visa based on your situation, and prioritize document preparation and submission to minimize delays on our end. Emergency work permits can be obtained faster than regular visas, which allows you to legally enter Chile, notably if you need to start working.

After approval, we help with obtaining your Chilean ID card (cédula). We also provide guidance on next steps like permanent residency and citizenship applications, as well as family reunification procedures when relevant.

Yes, it's possible to change visa categories in certain circumstances, such as between the different categories of temporary visa, or from family member (dependiente) to main applicant (titular) status. However, this requires meeting new criteria and going through the application process again. Considering the long visa application period, it may not be always interesting to change type. Please note that you can not change from tourist visa to temporary visa, except for family reunification.

If your situation changes (new job, marriage, etc.), we can help modify your application if still possible, or recommend the best course of action. Sometimes a new application may be more appropriate than continuing with the original one.
