Common Concerns
Questions Chilean founders ask
We've helped hundreds of Chilean entrepreneurs form US companies. Here are the most common concerns.
Do I need an SSN or US visa?
No. Chilean founders can form a US LLC with their RUT and Chilean passport. No SSN, no visa, and no US travel required.
How does SII reporting work?
As a Chilean tax resident, you report worldwide income to SII. The US-Chile Tax Treaty prevents double taxation. You may need to report your foreign entity and income.
Can I access the US startup ecosystem?
Yes. Chile has a growing startup ecosystem with strong ties to the US. A US LLC gives you access to US accelerators, investors, SaaS tools, and the American market.
