TEMPORARY RESIDENCE VISAS IN CHILE
We advise companies on work and temporary residence visa processes in Chile for foreign professionals and technicians, ensuring immigration compliance, operational continuity, and smooth onboarding.
TEMPORARY RESIDENCE VISAS IN CHILE
Chile has different immigration categories depending on the purpose of stay and the activity the foreign worker will perform in the country. Selecting the appropriate visa is key to avoiding rejections, issues, fines, or delays in hiring.
At FIC Visas, we support national and international companies in:
- Identifying the appropriate immigration category for each foreign worker.
- Reviewing corporate and personal requirements and documentation.
- Preparing and submitting applications in accordance with current immigration regulations.
- Monitoring the process until the visa or residence permit is approved.
TEMPORARY RESIDENCE VISA FROM ABROAD
Temporary Residence allows foreign professionals and technicians to legally enter and work in Chile under an employment contract with companies that have a registered office or branch in the country.
This permit can be granted for up to two years and also covers the holder’s dependents.
WE MANAGE IMMIGRATION PROCESSES FOR THE FOLLOWING CASES:
- Foreign professionals and specialized technicians with a contract or job offer in Chile.

EXTENSION OF TEMPORARY RESIDENCE FROM CHILE
Companies that employ foreign workers in Chile can request an extension of the temporary residence permit for the permit holder and their dependents for up to two additional years, depending on the corresponding immigration category.
Our team provides support in:
- Reviewing the validity and deadlines of the immigration permit.
- Updating and validating documentation.

PERMANENT RESIDENCE IN CHILE
Foreign workers with a valid Temporary Residence permit can subsequently apply for Permanent Residence in Chile, provided their immigration subcategory allows it according to current legislation.
A correct immigration assessment is essential to avoid rejections, loss of job continuity, or administrative delays that could affect the company and the foreign worker.
At FIC Visas, we advise international companies and professionals on:
