Relocate to Spain from Chile

Moving to Spain can be an attractive option for Chileans looking for work or even business opportunities. For some immigrants, the decision may very well be motivated by a family reunification purpose, when one of the spouses is a Spanish national.

In order to relocate to Spain from Chile, individuals will need to apply for and obtain a type of visa that will suit their purpose of stay. The application is submitted with the Embassy of Spain in Santiago (or with another representation) and the applicant will be required to provide a number of documents that will support his application.
