What is an extension of Residencia Temporal permit?
An extension is a request made by a foreigner to renew their current Residencia Temporal permit without changing its subcategory nor its status.
Where can I apply for an extension of my Residencia Temporal?
This application must be made from within Chile, by logging in with ClaveÚnica or with the account created by the applicant for this purpose, in the Portal de Trámites Digitales of Servicio Nacional de Migraciones (SERMIG).
* Only available from within Chile.
Requirements
Each subcategory of Residencia Temporal has requirements for its extension. In general terms, you must certify by means of current documentation that you maintain the same conditions for which the residence permit was initially granted.
You will also have to attach general and specific documentation, which is detailed below:
Important!
- Documents issued in any language other than Spanish and English must be submitted together with their respective translation, which must be authorized by a certified body.
- All documents issued abroad or by the respective consular representation in Chile must be apostilled or duly legalized, as stipulated in Articles 345 and 345 bis of the Code of Civil Procedure.
- Documents issued by private parties must be submitted within 30 days from the date of issuance. Those issued by public institutions and agencies must be presented within 60 days from the date of issuance unless the validity of the document is expressly stated.
