FAQ about Chile
Do Mercosur citizens have a simplified path in Chile?
Yes. Membership in Mercosur simplifies the immigration framework compared with nationals from outside the bloc. This does not remove requirements — it only makes the path more direct for the right profile.
Does Chile have a tax benefit for newcomers?
Chilean law provides differentiated treatment for certain foreign-source income during an initial period of residency. The parameters and duration are verified against the rules in force in each analysis, because they change.
Can I buy property in Chile without being a resident?
Chile is open to foreign investment and property purchase by non-residents is possible. The relevant issue is the structure of the acquisition and its tax and succession effects — which we assess before the purchase, not after.
Is Chile worth it instead of Uruguay?
It depends entirely on the objective. Chile tends to favor those who prioritize capital markets and business environment; Uruguay, those who prioritize predictability and succession. We prepare a detailed comparison of the three countries for that decision.
