Which citizenship, status or regional agreement creates the person's right to move/reside?

The right to reside comes from an international agreement concluded by Chile and in force: nationals or, as applicable, residents of the States party to such agreements may apply for this permit where the agreement requires that those persons be authorised to reside temporarily in Chile. The requirements and effects of these permits are those established in the agreement or treaty applicable to the foreign applicant.

Under which circumstances can the person reside: worker, self-employed, student, jobseeker, self-funded person or another recognised basis?

One recognised basis named on the page is a Working Holiday agreement: these arise from a bilateral agreement between countries and allow the foreign national who applies to live and work in Chile for a limited period. The countries with agreements in place are Germany, Australia, Austria, Canada (Youth Mobility), Korea, Denmark, France, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Japan, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Sweden (suspended) and Switzerland (Work Agreement for Interns), together with the Pacific Alliance Working and Holiday Programme covering Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru.

Limits of the record
  • The route-specific capture does not establish every legal consequence, current processing time or guaranteed approval outcome.

Which non-member-country family members can accompany or join, and what broad rights do they receive?

A Temporary Residence permit may be granted as a dependant of the holder of this subcategory where the person's situation falls within numerals 1 and 2 of article 74 of Law No 21.325. The official source does not state which family relationships these numerals cover or the rights the dependant receives.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The captured page does not list which family relationships numerals 1 and 2 of article 74 cover, nor the rights the dependant receives.
  • The sentence that begins to state an exception for the Working Holiday agreement is cut off in the capture, so that exception is unknown.
  • chars 2848-3072
    Sí, se te podrá otorgar un permiso de Residencia Temporal en calidad de dependiente del titular de esta subcategoría migratoria, si es que tu condición se comprende en los numerales 1 y 2 del artículo 74 de la ley N° 21.325.

When do permanent/long-term rights arise and what continuity, absence or retention conditions matter?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm when permanent rights arise and the continuity or absence rules.

Limits of the record
