Permanent residence: Residencia Definitiva
1 190 $
after 24 months of residency, or 12 with a Chilean-born child; the application window opens 90 days before the residence permit expires
Prices are in US dollars and are all-inclusive — nothing is added on top. Chilean government fees are paid separately and directly to the authority: $85 for a visa for Russian citizens, 138,974 pesos (approx. $152) for permanent residence, 38,697 pesos (approx. $42) for naturalisation. Fees are set in UTM and converted to pesos at the exchange rate on the day of payment. Chile’s 19% IVA is included in the service provider’s price and is not shown as a separate line item.

How it works in Chile
Cases are handled by the National Migration Service; applications are submitted electronically in your personal account. Once the visa is approved, it must be stamped and register with the investigative police at your place of residence, and only then obtain an identity document at the Registro Civil.
What we need from you to get started
- International passport and entry stamp
- Grounds: employment, income, study, family, or investment
- Criminal record check with apostille and translation
- Address in Chile
Where things most often go wrong
- —You got a visa but didn’t register with the police — nothing moves forward from here
- —Missed the visa stamp deadline after approval
- —Translation done without a sworn translator or without certification
- —Assumed that temporary residency immediately leads to permanent residency — this is a separate application to be filed later
The Chilean chain is longer than it looks: approval — stamp — police — ID card. People stop after approval, thinking the matter is done, and lose months.
Fees, processing times, and institutional requirements change several times per year, which is why they are not listed here: we verify and quote them as of the date of submission.
