“Si eres titular de un permiso de Permanencia Transitoria, cualquiera haya sido su duración original, podrás prorrogarla por una sola vez, por hasta noventa días corridos. Si te interesa, deberás iniciar el procedimiento de la prórroga antes del vencimiento del período original contemplado en tu Tarjeta Única Migratoria (TUM).”

Those who stay more than 180 calendar days after expiry are fined 1 to 10 UTM. Fines are cut by 50% when offenders report themselves to the Migration Service or the Police and this leads to the infringement being detected. Children and adolescents are exempt from all fines. To leave Chile, all fines for migration infringements must be paid, through the SERMIG Portal de Trámites and the web platform of the Tesorería General de la República.
