Have you ever imagined moving to another country and, instead of paying to start a new life, receive money to do so? This is precisely what Chile is offering through a program that can reach € 69,000 for those who settle in the country, according to the Daily Express.
Situated between the Pacific and the Andes, Chile is one of the most stable and developed countries in South America. The diversity of landscapes is considered impressive, from the Atacama desert to Patagoni, through wine vouchers and modern cities like Santiago.
But what has caught international attention is the start-up Chile program, created by the government to attract foreign entrepreneurs. The initiative is offering about 69,000 € to those who move to the country and present an innovative project with economic and social potential.
Financial support and residence in Chile
The value is not delivered directly, but through financing to emerging companies and support for the installation. In addition to the subsidy, the program guarantees residence visa, access to business and business contacts, allowing participants to develop their business from Chile.
According to the same source, the goal is to turn the country into an innovation center in Latin America, encouraging qualified professionals from around the world to live and work in the Chilean territory.
A destination of contrasts and opportunities
With a lower cost of living than in Western Europe and one of the highest security rates in the region, Chile has become increasingly attractive for those looking for quality of life, as referred to in the above source.
Political stability and ease of opening companies are other factors that have heavy in the decision of many foreigners.
In addition, nature is one of the greatest attractions. In the north is the drier desert of the world and, in the south, snow-covered snow-covered mountains, lakes and glaciers. For those who value contact with nature and open air, the country offers a difficult lifestyle to match, according to.
Other countries with similar incentives
Chile is not the only one to pay to attract new residents. In Italy, several interior villages have programs that offer houses at symbolic prices, in most cases to a euro, on the condition of restoring and residing them for at least three years.
In Switzerland, the small village of Albinen in the Alps offers approximately 21,000 € to those who move there and stay resident for a decade. The goal is to combat the depopulation of rural areas.
A global phenomenon
From programs to digital nomads to tax incentives, more and more countries are resorting to creative strategies to attract new inhabitants and revitalize local economies.
