Latin America
🇨🇱 Chile
Santiago is South America's most 'orderly' big-city base: solid infrastructure, four seasons, wine-country weekends, and a professional remote-work scene that feels closer to Europe than backpacker LatAm.
Chile in short
We cover 1 city in Chile. A mid-range solo month in Santiago is about $1,600 (our planning estimate, method). No remote-work scheme for Chile is in the audited visa tracker yet, so plan around the ordinary visitor rules and check them with the official immigration authority before you book.
How this page is built: visa rows are read from the audited tracker, which links each figure to an official page and dates the check; city figures are editorial planning estimates (method). Rules change, so confirm with the authority before you apply. Researched from official immigration pages and the site's cost dataset.
