Many people considering applying for residency in Chile are told they must submit an FBI background check, police record, or similar official criminal background report to apply for a visa to Chile. This is only partially true, and only if you apply for a temporary residency visa, student visa, or work visa to Chile through one of the Chilean consulates outside of Chile. Even people that have never committed a crime or only small crimes, may be discouraged from moving to Chile because of this requirement.  We would like to explain when exactly a criminal background check is required for a visa in Chile, and when it is not.
