moving to santiago to a chilean girlfriend-some questions

8 years ago
hello all, iv been living with my Chilean girlfriend for a few weeks in Santiago.
now im back in israel but we plan to start our life in chile at the end of April., that way we can live together .

luckily i have some help from her but she is not too strong with all that expat bureaucracy, so i hope to get some answers here...

what will be the best option for visa and work permit?
is it easy to get a job to an english speaker? my Spanish is still basic.

do someone knows about the DELE Spanish test? is it worth it?

how long till they give citizenship?

will i have any rights with a temporal residency?( pension, medical care...)

there is a lot more that im still not aware of becuse iv spent so little time in chile, i just want to live in peace with my girlfriend in the overall.

thanks for the helpers
