Working in Chile
Chile recently emerged as a popular destination for multi-national corporations in South America and attracts foreign talent from all over the globe. Most foreign nationals do not require a visa to enter the country for short-term business activities, but long-term assignments and employment in Chile typically require a work visa.
Citizens from more than 89 countries, including EU member states, Canada and the U.S. can visit Chile without a visa and can extend their stay an additional 90 days while in the country.
Foreign nationals from certain countries who hold an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Business Travel Card (ABTC) and foreign nationals who travel to Chile on business trips can enter the country for 90 days without a visa.
For paid employment and for business trips lasting more than 90 days, foreign nationals must apply for and secure a visa that includes authorization to work, typically a temporary residence visa.
