Don't waste your first weeks in Chile on paperwork

Opening a bank account, getting a phone contract, setting up gas, electricity, and internet: each sounds simple until you discover that almost everything requires a RUT number you may not have yet, and that most counters and call centers operate only in Spanish. We know what needs to be done, in which order, and who to contact. Instead of spending your first weeks figuring it out by trial and error, you land with a working phone, get your accounts and contracts set up within days, and focus on actually settling in.

This service is for you if

You are about to arrive in Chile and want your phone, bank account, and home services working from day one

You don't speak Spanish well enough to deal with banks, providers, and call centers with confidence

You are an HR team relocating an employee to Chile and want the arrival logistics handled end to end

You would rather spend your first weeks discovering your new city than queuing at service counters

One point of contact for everything your first weeks in Chile require, from the SIM card to the internet contract.
