Brief overview of the program

Chile follows the principle of jus soli (right of the soil), meaning a child born in the country is entitled to Chilean citizenship. After the birth, the parents can apply for a residence permit, and after two years of permanent residence, become eligible for a Chilean passport. Siblings, as well as the child’s grandparents, can also obtain citizenship through a simplified process, making this program an optimal solution for family immigration.

Visa-free travel to 160+ countries, including:
The USA
The UAE
EU countries
Japan

Advantages of Chile citizenship

  • Free travel around the world

    Visa-free access to over 160 countries, including the USA, Canada, Japan, and all European Union countries. A Chilean passport offers maximum mobility for international travel.

  • Free education

    Citizens are entitled to free primary and secondary education and can apply for government-funded spots at Chilean universities. Tuition fees for higher education are also subsidized for citizens.

  • Migration opportunities

    A Chilean passport facilitates obtaining work visas in developed countries. For the USA, Chilean citizens can apply for the H-1B1 visa. It also grants access to mobility programs under MERCOSUR agreements.

  • Full access to the banking system

    Citizens can freely open bank accounts in Chile and use online banking without restrictions, conducting transactions at any time.

  • Possibility of dual citizenship

    Chile allows dual citizenship, enabling individuals to retain their original passport. This opens additional opportunities for global mobility and asset protection without losing prior status.

  • Citizenship by descent

    Children of Chilean passport holders acquire citizenship by right of blood (jus sanguinis), regardless of place of birth. Grandchildren also inherit this right, allowing citizenship to be passed down through generations.

*MERCOSUR is the common market of South American countries, established under an economic and political agreement between Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Venezuela, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Guyana, and Suriname.
