WHY DO OUR CLIENTS CHOOSE CHILE?
There are not many countries where you can get citizenship by right of soil. The USA is rightfully considered the most prestigious country.
However, you will be surprised that the comparison can be in favor of Chile! We will prove it to you now!
GETTING A VISA
The theater begins with a coat rack, a trip to the country begins with getting a visa, which, in the case of the USA, is associated with a lot of time and effort. Queues for an interview for a US visa, unjustified refusals and complete uncertainty. It is not the best situation for a pregnant woman.
The entry to Chile is visa-free. You can live without a permanent visa for up to six months! At the same time, there are special convenient conditions for pregnant women to apply for a resident visa, the so-called resident visa for pregnancy.
To live in Chile for six months, foreigners do not need a visa!
Like the United States, Chile is not a cheap country. But you will be pleasantly surprised by the quality of life: in new houses, where you will most likely rent housing, a concierge is always on call 24 hours a day, there is a swimming pool, a gym, a beautiful flowering patio, BBQ equipment, parking, a hall for parties, etc. Often the complex has a children’s playroom and a sauna.
HOW ARE RUSSIANS RECEIVED?
The attitude towards visiting Russians in Chile and the United States is simply heaven and earth.
The Mecca of birth tourism in the United States is Miami. It is absolutely convenient that, having arrived there, you find yourself in a practically Russian-speaking environment. You can find any services in Russian: from a gynecologist to a hairdresser.
However, be prepared for an atmosphere of… How can I call it? Heightened businesslike activity. In other words, according to reviews of women who gave birth in Miami, they could not shake the feeling that everyone, including random passers-by, wanted to profit from them. At the same time, many former compatriots broadcast intolerance and negativity towards Russians.
In Chile, a Russian is a white man. The general attitude is positive, welcoming. Chileans are very far from world politics, but even those who understand it, in most cases sympathize with Russia.
CLIMATE. The Mediterranean climate of Chile is absolutely wonderful for pregnant women, especially if they live on the coast. Mild winters, moderately hot summers (no more than 35 degrees) and a fresh sea breeze…
In Miami, the period of comfortable weather is short-lived; for a significant part of the year, visitors are greeted either by high humidity and stuffiness (from May to October), or by scorching heat, and, as a result, the mass use of air conditioners.
FOOD. Chile is a country with developed agriculture. According to many gourmets, the fish, meat, fruits and vegetables here are of the freshest and highest quality.
As for the USA, farmers’ markets in the tourist area are a rarity. You can eat in restaurants or buy food in a supermarket.
LIFE RHYTHM. Miami is a huge metropolis, which has its pros and cons.
Viña-del-Mar is a small resort town, calm, safe, bourgeois. We are all different, but during pregnancy, many women would prefer to be away from the too intense bustle of the city.
If we talk about medical care in good clinics and the quality of housing, it is about the same.
Leisurely resort life, quiet walks along the ocean, smiling people … at the same time – all the benefits of civilization, including excellent clinics!
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. ЧWhat does American and Chilean citizenship give to a newborn?
Both passports provide freedom of movement throughout most of the civilized world. For example, for Chileans, as well as for Americans, a visa to European countries is not required. But at the same time, US citizens are obliged to pay taxes to their “second homeland” for the rest of their lives or at least report to the tax service. There is no such law in Chile.
The choice is yours, but you must admit that a narrow strip of land near the Pacific Ocean, called Chile, holds unexpectedly wide opportunities for expectant mothers and their babies!
