New members of the Chile forum, introduce yourselves here - 2024

Hi Everyone,

I'm currently living in Toronto, Canada and am looking to move to southern Chile to start a new career in conservation management and have therefore applied for a temporary visa under the rentista category. On the SMN portal, my application has been in the "analysis" stage for over 6 weeks, however I am unable to find information on how long the application process is expected to take. As most websites (including those of Chilean consulates!) haven't updated their information yet after the immigration law changed in 2022, I have currently no indication whatsoever how long it may take.

If anyone on this forum has applied for a temporary visa under the new immigration online system, I'm curious to hear how long it took for the application to be analysed and moved to the next "resolution" stage.

cheers,

Fleur

Hi everyone! I'm thrilled to have found this forum! You may call me Elenitita.

I'm hoping to move to Chile this year! My long distance partner of 6 years is Chilean, and we're finally closing the distance.

I have visited beautiful Chile twice now, a combined total of 6 months, and I am in love with the place. I'm ecstatic to begin this process of moving, and I look forward to being a part of this forum!
