Chile Temporary Residency Visa

Hi Clarissa,

I would recommend to wait for the extension fo your visitor visa before you make the next step as you are illegal in the country at present.

All visa application have to be sent to Santiago at present. 

If your mum has a good pension she might be accepted as a pensioner. However, she needs to have all documents in English or Spanish  and legalized in the correct form.

You and your partner will not be accepted as dependents from your mum,  as you both are adults and no students any more that need support.

You can only apply within the "rentista" category if you have a permanent source of income for example from renting a house/apartment, dividens, bank interest etc. It is not sufficient if you just have an amount of money in your bank account.

The current immigration law is in the process to be changed. We have already a new law. However, this is more a frame work that needs to be filled with detailed rules and regulations. It is supposed to be complete within the coming year. Once it will be in place people are not allowed anymore to apply within Chile.
