Hi there, my name is Greg, I am a Canadian citizen who has traveled the world in search of the perfect place to start my life. Though I have never been to Chile, all of my intuitions are pointing me there at the moment.
Out of all of the places I have traveled I really think my own province in Canada, BC, is the most beautiful perfect place for me to settle down, start my life and my family, unfortunately, living in BC has lost all of its luster over the last 20 years, with some of the highest costs of living in the entire world, outrageously high taxes as well as taxation without representation, beauocracy up to the eyeballs, even on a civic level, and the highest levels of corruption in government both federally and provincially that we have ever seen with no signs of change for the better in our future.
Please, anybody reading this, correct me if I am wrong on this assumption, but according to my research parts of Southern Chile really resemble BC in a way don't they? Mountains you can snowboard on, not far from the ocean, Hundreds of beautiful islands all along the coast, four seasons where the leaves on the trees actually change colors, snow in the winter, and it never gets absurdly hot and humid like places closer to the equator.
What I am looking to do specifically is to purchase a 40-100acre piece of property, close to snowboarding, close to a lake, or not far from the ocean in southern chile, and begin to develop the land. I would like to have a small hotel/ hostel, as well as a very large space for farms and greenhouses.
What are some important things I should consider before making the trip to Chile?
What is it like for a foriengner to own land and to start a small business in Chile?
How does an expat acquire a permanent residency card or become a Chilean citizen?
