Real experience of people from chats on «Housing» in Chile — as it is, no fluff. For your case — ask Luky.
From real experience
To register on the primary Chilean real estate portal 'portalinmobiliario.com', a local identification number (RUT) is typically required. For foreigners without a RUT, it is difficult to use this specific platform for direct interaction or detailed searches. Alternative sites for property search in Chile include 'yapo.cl', 'vivavisos.cl', and 'icasas.cl'.
For moving to Chile, use 'Чили - справочник для всех' for legalization documentation processes. For long-term housing, utilize specialized Telegram groups like 'Чили - аренда -найти, арендовать, снять'. These platforms are the primary resources for expats.
To search for real estate in Chile, the most popular platforms are portalinmobiliario.com and mercadolibre.cl. However, these platforms typically require a RUT (local taxpayer ID). A good alternative that might be more accessible is Yapo.cl, or manual search engines queries using phrases like 'venta de casas en chile' or 'arriendo de casas en chile'.
Concón is identified by some expats and returning locals as a favorable location for settling in Chile. When advising on relocation to Chile, consider factors like the density of the Russian-speaking community, which tends to be higher in urban centers near the coast. Recommend that families look for local expatriate groups or social hubs in Vina del Mar or Concón to facilitate integration.
Long-term renting via local Chilean real estate websites is difficult for foreigners due to strict requirements for local proof of income and extensive documentation. Recommended alternatives for expatriates include Airbnb or specific community-based rental platforms/groups (e.g., 'Аренда для своих' or 'Чили Аренда').
