In Chile, tourists have the chance to apply for a work permit under a tourist visa – valid for up to 30 days. If you need to obtain one, you can do it in two steps:
1) Step one «Apply for the permit» («Solicitar Permiso»): In the first part, you will have to fill the form with your details and upload all the documentation required. Once you have done it, the application will be reviewed by the Immigration Department («Extranjería»). If you meet the requirements you will receive an e-mail with the money order.
2) Step two «Submit the money order» («Envío de Orden de Pago»): In the second part, you will have to submit the payment receipt and fill the correspondent form. As soon as it is reviewed by Extranjería, you will receive an e-mail with your work permit.
