Jérémie Le Pévédic

Jérémie Le Pévédic is the founder of Expat.cl, a paid immigration and relocation practice based in Santiago. He is a French and Chilean citizen. After eight years in investment banking and a life across more than ten countries, he moved to Chile in 2014 and founded Expat.cl in 2016 to give foreigners one expert who would handle visas, housing, and settling-in without outdated advice or surprise fees.

Methodology

Every case starts with the facts of your situation: nationality, family, timeline, work or investment plan, and where you will actually live. Chilean immigration under Ley 21.325 is highly case-specific; generic checklists miss the category that fits and the documents SERMIG expects. Jérémie answers in writing whenever possible so you can rely on the same guidance weeks later, states the full price before work begins, and does not promise outcomes the law does not support.

Work is delivered in English, French, and Spanish. Most filings can be prepared remotely before you land. When a file is rejected after Expat.cl filed it, reapplication of the service work is handled under the firm’s published guarantee terms on the relevant service page.

Credentials and first-hand path

  • Naturalized Chilean citizen (2022) after completing the full path himself: first temporary residence, permanent residence, then citizenship and passport.
  • Real estate brokerage credential (ACOP, Santiago, 2016) and property valuation training (PUC Valparaíso, 2019, graded 7/7).
  • Author of the 265-page Chile Handbook for Foreigners — practical orientation on visas, housing, healthcare, banking, and daily life (not a substitute for case-specific filing).
  • Operator since 2016, guiding expats and families from 50+ countries, with corporate clients that have included organisations such as Airbus, FAO, Novo Nordisk, and Vinci (see testimonials and Trustpilot reviews for Expat.cl).
