HUMANITARIAN REASONS

Special permit for foreign women in situation of pregnancy

Mujer migrante embarazada

You will be granted this permit if you are a foreign woman who is in the national territory by virtue of a Permanencia Transitoria permit or a Residencia Temporal permit, and you have a certificate stating that you are pregnant.

Where can I submit this application?

The application can be made on the SERMIG’s Portal de Trámites Digitales by logging in “Solicitud de Residencias Temporales para extranjeros dentro de Chile“.

* Procedure available only from within Chile.

The foreign woman herself can make the application or the corresponding Servicio de Salud, through SERMIG's Portal de Trámites Digitales.

  1. Passport or identification document.
  2. Certificate of criminal record or equivalent document issued by the competent authority of their country of origin or the country in which they have resided in the last 5 years (required to applicants over 18 years old).
  3. Recent photo:
    • In color, with a white background.
    • Looking directly at the camera, covering the entire face, with a neutral expression and open eyes.
    • Do not wear accessories such as glasses or a hat.
    • It must be taken on a current date, as close as possible to the time of application.
    • Upload to the platform in JPG or PNG format.
  4. Pregnancy certificate issued by a professional belonging to the Red Asistencial (Health Care Network) of any of the Services regulated by the Ministry of Health. Said certificate must be legalized before a notary public with Firma Electrónica Avanzada.
  5. In cases where the application is submitted by the Servicio de Salud, it must be accompanied by the express authorization of the interested party, unless they are unable to do so.

Once the Residencia Temporal is granted, you must pay the corresponding fees and download the Estampado Electrónico that certifies the immigration benefit. Later, you must request an appointment at the Servicio de Registro Civil e Identificación (Civil Registry and Identification Service) to obtain the Cédula de Identidad (Identity Card).

If you do not request the appointment within 30 days after downloading the Estampado Electrónico, you must first be sanctioned according to Art. 106 of Law No. 21.325 of Migraciones y Extranjería.
