Moving California to Santiago. - Visa questions

5 years ago
Good evening and Happy New year!

I am moving to Chile very soon and I am almost ready to apply for my temporary residence visa here in Los Angeles so I can move to Chile as soon as I can. The consulate is not being very clear on answering my questions about the visa so I would love some insight from those who have done this. ( I have a job in Chile already. I shall get my offer letter next week)

1. On the application sent to me from the consulate, the form asks for the day I leave, flight number and day of return. I'm confused as to what to put for that and am afraid to leave it blank. not sure what to do since I don't intend to buy a return ticket because I'm applying for one year residence.

2. I am applying for a Visa Titular but the consulate says that's not an option do do that in the states?

3. Once the consulate receives my papers and application, how long does it take for you to know whether you are approved or not?

I appreciate any help or additional tips!! Thank you
