Applicant scope

Who this route generally serves

Generally designed for: Foreign representatives with an overseas institutional role, associated income, and recurring executive or directive duties connected to a company’s Chilean business or investments.
Legal basis named by the authority: Law 21.325, D.S. 177 subcategory 14, the applicable duration decree, and the current SERMIG multiple-entry business-management procedure.

Route lifecycle

What to confirm from application onward

Financial basis: The foreign institution must establish income associated with the business-management assignment. The current route publishes no universal numeric income or investment threshold.
Government service fees: Temporary-residence charges depend on nationality. Confirm the applicant-specific amount in the current SERMIG schedule and portal.
Initial status: Temporary residence for recurring entries, subject to the general statutory duration framework and the route-specific six-month annual stay ceiling.
Renewal: A holder may request an extension with evidence that the activities supporting the original grant continue. Each extension is a separate decision.
Dependents: A spouse or equivalent partner and qualifying children within Law 21.325 Article 74(1) and (2) may apply as dependents under the separate procedure; approval is not automatic.
Work rights: The route establishes recurring executive or directive business-management activity. It does not publish unrestricted local employment or professional-practice rights, and this guide does not infer them.
Presence considerations: Total visits under this status may not exceed six months in each calendar year.
Permanent residence: The route page does not establish automatic eligibility for definitive residence. Any later application is separate and must satisfy the then-current subcategory, residence-history, and absence rules.
Citizenship relationship: Chilean nationality is separate and is not conferred by recurring business-management residence.
