Chile Rentista Visa — residence on passive income
The rentista route grants Chilean residence to someone living on passive income — rent, dividends or a pension — and it is filed online, before you relocate. We prepare and coordinate the whole file.

The rentista route is Chile’s residence for people who live on passive income — rent, dividends or a pension. It asks the main applicant to show stable income of that kind; a spouse and minor children are included without needing income of their own. Unusually, the file is prepared and lodged online, so the process can begin before you ever move.
Being confirmed for your case
Conditions, income levels and the timing of permanent residence depend on your situation and on current Chilean rules. We confirm what applies to you at the consultation and prepare the file accordingly — the authorities decide the outcome.
How the rentista route works
- Passive income for the main applicant — rent, dividends, a pension or similar
- Family included — a spouse and minor children, without their own income
- Filed online — the application is lodged remotely, before you relocate
- Temporary residence for two years, with a path to permanent residence
- Mercosur — Chilean residence opens visa-free travel across the Mercosur bloc
Permanent residence — the next step
Temporary residence runs two years; permanent residence can follow after the required period of presence — commonly one to two years, and in some cases a shorter period can be requested. Once you hold permanent residence, it is kept with only minimal presence in the country. We prepare and coordinate the permanent-residence file when the time comes.
Permanent-residence support is €1,950 for the main applicant, plus €450 per family member. State fees, translations and legalisation are separate, paid directly.
