This is the latest challenge getting to Chile from Nigeria especially if you want to fly TAAG Angola Airlines. It's actually because the Chilean Visa is not also a sticker visa, so they doubt it's authenticity even if it has all the details

Exactly but the return visa stuff is actually a new requirement. This was confirmed from qatar head office. Even while at the brazilian airport, the person met other nigerians seeking asylum in brazil.

The person should book sky airline ticket from Brazil to Chile. They only need to snap the visa and send to the national Migration service in Chile for confirmation before approval to board can be made. I don't know the kind of jobs those seeking asylum in Brazil want to do especially when you don't speak Portuguese

He was allowed to board but he missed his first flight. The connecting flight is LATAM airways and imagine them saying they don't know how to verify his visa. LATAM airways is Chilean owned and their headquarters is in Santiago Chile. Dude was just discriminated against.

That is why I said the person should use sky. Getting to Chile from Nigeria is very hectic and the national Migration service don't have email to contact them if anything goes wrong.

Don't come back yet o if not you will need a transit visa to go back. Is it possible to convert the e-visa to a sticker visa? The worst part we don't have Chilean embassy in Nigeria and the consulate in Ghana are not helping matters

I have a residency card now. So I don't need a sticker visa but I can't risk coming to Nigeria with what I heard today. God forbid.

Good for you. Plan well if you want to visit Nigeria. My Kenyan friend travelled through Paris without transit visa. I don't know if it's because of our passport.

America is the only country in the world better than Chile. Chile Is better than every single country in Europe and can match what every country in Europe has to offer. Open your mind and explore the world.

Don't be a novice man. Their lot of South American migrate to the west, especially Spain. I lived in Spain for more than a year and the South Americans have very large communities in Spain. They have one of the largest communities in Spain apart form the Native Spanish.

All of my South American classmate and seniors did not return to South America after graduation, they all stayed back in Europe. I don't get where your claim that South Americans don't migrate to Europe is coming from.

Also don't be naive by comparing Scandinavian countries with UK. Apart from language barrier, their are more opportunities in Scandinavian countries compared to UK.

Chile is a good place for you, but don't compare the standard of living in the South America to Europe. They are miles apart. Chile of course is a very good country compared to Nigeria and whatever Country someone lives doesn't matter so much. Knowing how to tap into opportunities is the most important thing in this digital age.

This is the koko. Honestly, if you are a professional Chile is a much better deal. I am not a senior level programmer. I am more mid level and I have gotten offers equivalent to 4000 usd here in Chile. Tax here is just 15 percent. In Europe to get what you are getting here as net with the crazy taxes, you need to be earning like 80000 euros. How many jobs in Europe pay that. People work for years and only get like 50000 euros annually. The only thing I will say is that Chile isn't an ideal place to do hustle jobs as those pay minimum wage.

I say again man, you are very exposed and I respect you a lot man. But don't shit on other Countries just because you live in a particular Country.

I'm living in my 4th European Country in 2 years and I tell you man, nothing special in living in o particular geographical location of the world. All humans no matter the location they are all huzzling for money. So to me its no big deal. I won't hide the fact that living in some geographical location of the world opens door for more opportunities but you can make it in life no matter the location and migration is not particular to any tribe or race.

Europeans, American and Asians migrate also to Nigeria to exploit our resources and economy so its no big deal, every body in this world is huzzling for money in one way or the other.

You saying there are no jobs paying 4k dollars to people in Europe shows is either you are naive or biase about salary in Europe, especially considering the fact that you are into tech.

Also let me ask you what is the median salary of people living in Chile? So everybody living in Chile will have the opportunity to be paid 4K dollars per month.

It all depends on how skilled you are man, if you are well skilled you will make money regardless of your geographical location in the world.

Most of the best guys from my set in OAU are into software and they are all balling. Just of recent one of my classmate in Ife got promoted to a Senior Software engineer role in a US based company. Although I don't know how much he would be paid but maybe he will be paid more than 4K dollars and he is based in Nigeria. So what are we talking about.?

Its a know fact that software engineering is one of the highest paid profession in the world, so it has nothing to do with Chile or what so ever.

Also make your research well man, I can say it anywhere that after for the US, Europe is the next region of the world that pays professional well for their skills.

And also don't compare Scandinavian countries to UK again ooo. please don't be naive.

The same scandinavian countries that people are complaining they cant see cleaning jobs to do right here on nairaland. I did interview with some european companies while living here and honestly what they were offering was much lower than what you would get working for a local chilean company. The highest offers were from US companies and Chilean companies.

You don't need work to survive in an EU country


Some EU countries allocate individuals universal basic income (UBI)



Most EU countries are forking comfortable to live , regardless of work or not , how many south american countries are comfortable to live in without working??


In a south American country,if you don't work , you're gonna starve to death

A lot of the things were modified back in 2020. They modified that aspect. Visitors on transitory residence AKA visit visa that give birth in Chile won't be able to acquire Chilean citizenship for their children.

https://serviciomigraciones.cl/en/residencia-temporal-permit/subcategories/pregnancy/

That's the visa you need to apply for to have a child now or your Child won't be Chilean.

https://globalcit.eu/the-implications-of-chiles-2021-immigration-law-for-citizenship-and-nationality/

It's heavily enforced now as there were issues with some Russians that even birth here and were crying when their kids weren't given Chilean nationality


Wow! Thank you so much. I was misinformed previously.
