Best for: Santiago for stability + infrastructure; the most 'developed' South American base.

Chile is structurally the most-developed Latin American country — internet, healthcare, and bureaucracy work better than most of the region. There's no formal DNV but the Temporary Residency Profesional path is well-trodden. Santiago is the only real nomad city; Valparaíso and Viña del Mar are weekend-trip distance.

Visa story

Tourist 90 days; Temporary Residency (Profesional / Mercosur) for longer.

Open the per-city visa cards on each city page for the specific income tests, durations, and program names. None of this is legal advice — confirm with the consulate before booking.
