Duration temporary visa application under new immigration law

9 months ago

I've recently applied for a temporary visa under the rentista category. On the SMN portal, my application has been in the "analysis" stage for over 6 weeks, however I am unable to find information on how long the application process is expected to take. As most websites (including those of Chilean consulates!) haven't updated their information yet after the immigration law changed in 2022, I have currently no indication whatsoever how long it may take.

If anyone on this forum has applied for a temporary visa under the new immigration online system, I'm curious to hear how long it took for the application to be analysed and moved to the next "resolution" stage.
