Who is this permit intended for?
This subcategory is aimed at those official residents who have completed their duties in a mission recognized by the Chilean State. This permit, granted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, expires thirty days after the end of the official missions carried out in the country.
Before this period expires, the official resident may request a Permanencia Transitoria for former official residents as holder or dependent.
The Permanencia Transitoria permit shall be valid for a period of up to 90 calendar days, which may be extended. The above is without prejudice to the provisions of Sections 64 and 65 of Law No. 21.325, referring to the change of immigration category of official residents and dependents, respectively.
Where can I apply for this Permanencia Transitoria permit?
This permit will be granted automatically if the person is a national of a country that does not require prior authorization or visa. It will come into force once the official residence has expired.
The application must be made by logging in with the account created by the applicant for these purposes or with ClaveÚnica, in the Portal de Trámites Digitales of Servicio Nacional de Migraciones (SERMIG) by entering to “Permanencia Transitoria para Ex-Residentes Oficiales“.
Is prior a previous authorization or visa to obtain a Permanencia Transitoria once the Residencia Oficial has expired?
If you are a national of a country to which Chile requires prior authorization or visa, you must apply for such document under the conditions of Art. 27 of Law No. 21.325 of Migraciones y Extranjería.
If the interested person applies for it without having left the national territory at the end of their Residencia Oficial, they may request the authorization at the Dirección General de Asuntos Consulares of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Remember!
Without prejudice to the requirements established for each subcategory, if you enter Chile as a Permanencia Transitoria holder, you will have to certify your lawful means of livelihood that will allow you to remain in the country.
