SKILL 01 · Immigration
Find the right residency route
Compare possible Chilean residency routes using your actual location, current permission and purpose. Produce a decision checklist, not a promise of eligibility.
What you need
- Nationality, current country and intended move or travel plans
- Current Chilean immigration document, if any, with issue and expiry dates
- Purpose: family, paid activity, study, investment or another documented reason
- Evidence of family relationship, job offer, admission or other relevant connection
- Previous Chilean applications and decisions, supplied without account credentials
What you can prepare
- Evidence inventory separating supplied documents, personal statements and missing facts
- Route comparison marked DRAFT NOT SUBMITTED, with location-of-application checks and unresolved conditions
- An editable question list for SERMIG or a qualified adviser
FICTIONAL PRACTICE CASE
Try it before using real records.
Fictional case: Amina, a Kenyan citizen living in Nairobi, has an offer from a Chilean employer. She wants to compare a paid-activity route with a study option before booking travel. The result identifies the evidence needed for each route and leaves eligibility unresolved until current requirements are checked.
Check the result
- The applicant's location and present permission are recorded rather than inferred from nationality
- Every suggested route links to its relevant official subcategory and lists unresolved conditions
- Statements of eligibility are clearly distinguished from evidence and authority decisions
- The result includes the review date and no unverified numerical fee, deadline or statutory citation
Keep preparation and filing separate.
Documents produced are DRAFT — NOT SUBMITTED until reviewed and actually filed. The skill does not access accounts, submit applications, pay fees or represent you. Current official requirements and the actual notice must be checked for your case. English materials are not certified translations.
