Alas, my source for info is a private wiki so I can't link directly. I did read up on the application in the recent past, and the hardest part was the requirement to get letters from Chileans saying you've made a contribution to the country. As part of Startup Chile we've made contacts within the government so this likely wouldn't be too difficult for us. (and if you're doing an early stage startup, Startup Chile is one way to get a good immersion into Chile.)

But here's some links: http://www.spencerglobal.com/chile-immigration-law/32/120-ch... http://www.allchile.net/chilewiki/index.php?title=Immigratio...

Here's a good forum to ask questions about Chile: http://www.allchile.net/chileforum/
