Start-Up Chile Visa

Special 2-year work visa for entrepreneurs accepted into the Start-Up Chile (SUP) government accelerator program. Founded in 2010, SUP is one of the world's largest startup accelerators with 3,000+ startups and 6,000+ founders from 85+ countries. Offers equity-free grants from $15,000 (Build program) to $100,000 (Growth program) plus free coworking space, mentorship, and visa processing handled by the program. Startups must be technology-based, innovative, scalable, and aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals. Founders must have minimum 10% equity and work exclusively on the startup. All visa bureaucracy is handled by the program - applicants only need valid passport (24+ months) and home country police clearance. Applications open throughout the year with cohorts starting in March.
