I spent eight years in investment banking and lived in more than ten countries, from Stockholm to Shanghai, before moving to Chile in 2014. In 2016 I started Expat.cl, because every expat around me was fighting the same battles: a visa system in Spanish, landlords quoting foreigner prices, and advice that was outdated or simply wrong.
Since then I have guided expats from 50+ countries through Chilean visas, residency, citizenship, home searches, and everything in between, and wrote the 265-page Chile Handbook for Foreigners so nobody has to guess.
How I work: in English, French, or Spanish. In writing, so you can rely on my answers weeks later. You know the full price before we start, and I make no promises I cannot keep.

How I work
One expert, start to finish
Your case is handled personally by me, not split across a team where details slip through the cracks. One point of contact from first question to final ID card.
I've done it myself
I went through Chilean immigration from first visa to citizenship, and trained formally in property and valuation. I know the offices, the forms, and the traps.
Right the first time
A single sequencing mistake can cost months. I prepare and file your case correctly, so nothing surfaces missing halfway through the wait.
Fixed price, known upfront
You know the full price before we start (no hourly billing, no surprises), and the first consultation is credited toward your relocation.
What clients say
Permanent residency granted
I highly recommend Jérémie and Expat.cl to navigate the Chilean immigration system. I can't imagine attempting this process myself. I am thrilled to now be a permanent Chilean resident, thanks to his hard work, professionalism, and persistence!
Michelle Stone
2023Visa granted
Jérémie is knowledgeable, professional, and was extremely helpful and responsive during the visa process. It would have been impossible to get a visa without him.

2022Rentista visa
Excellent service for a very good price. He gave us an estimate for a Rentista Visa that was very reasonable, answered all my questions, and listed exactly what I needed to do to reach our goal.

Trusting someone on the other side of the world is hard, and some people will never be convinced. A prospect once told me Expat.cl had too many testimonials to be believable. You cannot win everyone over, and that is fine. But if you just want to confirm I am real before we talk, here are three things you can verify yourself.

Common questions
It depends on what you need. Most people start with a 1-hour consultation (USD 127, credited toward any service you book within 6 months) to map their situation. From there, each service, whether a visa, residency, housing search, or full settling-in, is quoted for your specific case. There is no hourly billing, and you always know the full price before we start.
If you're moving to (or already in) Chile and want visas, residency, citizenship, housing or settling-in handled properly, yes. I focus on people who want it done right rather than the cheapest possible route.
English, French, or Spanish. Mostly in writing, so you can rely on my answers weeks later and across time zones.
