Where the application starts

Normally outside Chile.

Key documents and conditions

  • General temporary-residence documents.
  • Evidence of ownership of the relevant real estate or financial assets.
  • Rental agreements and receipts, or records of income produced by financial assets, as applicable.

This is a preparation overview. Use the official checklist for the complete requirements and current forms.

Before you make plans

  • Salary or freelance earnings should not be relabeled as passive income.
  • A bank balance alone does not establish the required recurring income.

Prepare your next step

Check your nationality, current location, and the evidence supporting your purpose of stay. Organize documents before making firm travel commitments. If you would like administrative support, send an inquiry about this route and we’ll confirm what we can help with.

Government fees vary by route and circumstances. Service fees and third-party costs are quoted separately; no fixed processing time or outcome is promised.
