FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What English-speaking clients most often ask us about legal matters in Chile.

Do US citizens need a visa to travel to Chile?
US citizens do not need a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days in Chile. However, if you plan to live, work, retire, study or invest in Chile, you will need a temporary residence visa. We assess your case and manage the right application for you, entirely online.
How do I get residency in Chile?
Chile grants temporary residence permits based on work, family ties, investment, retirement income and other categories, which can later become permanent residency. Our lawyers prepare, file and track the entire application with the National Migration Service on your behalf — for most of the process you don't need to be in Chile.
Can I get Chilean citizenship or dual citizenship?
Yes. After holding permanent residency (generally 5 years of residence, less in some cases), you may apply for citizenship by naturalization. Chile allows dual citizenship, so US citizens keep their US nationality. Citizenship by descent is also available if you have a Chilean parent or grandparent.
Can a foreigner start a business or form a company in Chile?
Yes. Foreigners can fully own a Chilean company, and in most cases you don't need to live in Chile to incorporate one. We handle incorporation (including the fast-track "Empresa en un Día" regime), tax registration, bylaws and ongoing compliance — remotely.
Can you represent me in Chile if I live in the United States?
Yes. Through a power of attorney granted at a Chilean consulate or apostilled abroad, we can represent you before Chilean courts and government agencies without you traveling. This covers inheritance, property, lawsuits, immigration filings and company matters.
Do your lawyers speak English?
Yes. All client communication is available in English. Legal filings are prepared in Spanish as required by Chilean courts and agencies, and we explain every step to you in plain English.
How much does a lawyer in Chile cost?
Fees depend on the matter, but they are typically far lower than US legal fees. We quote a clear, fixed fee before you commit, with the scope of work confirmed in writing.
Where are your services provided?
All legal services are rendered in Chile, under Chilean law, by Chilean-licensed attorneys. You can hire and work with us from anywhere in the world — attention is 100% online, with in-person representation in Chile when your case requires it.
