Paz was unbelievably helpful for us. We had tried looking for apartments on our own for a week without any luck, and then we decided to ask for Paz’s help. She found us 5 great options in just one weekend, and we were moved into our new place just days later. I would recommend Foreigner in Chile to anybody who is new to Santiago.
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is being written to highly recommend the professional services provided to our company by Foreigner in Chile. Their thoroughness in providing Relocation and Business Start-Up Services was outstanding.
In my opinion, Paz Fuenzalida, partner and main coordinator of Foreigner in Chile brings a rare gift to the world of executive-level consulting. She has a remarkable ability to get things done, anticipates problems or issues before they arise and orchestrates open and meaningful conversations among company executives on multiple issues. With these abilities she expedites people’s trust which, in turn, gets things done more efficiently. She is outstanding at what she does!
Paz has not only helped executives of my company and others to envision and strategize better business platforms for our start-up in Chile, she has also provided several usable tools we needed to create and implement necessary changes to our approach to the market. I do not think anyone in the marketplace is able to do what she does as well as she does it, and, as a client I can tell you that any company and its department heads would be grateful to have her talents involved.
Santiago is a beautiful, but difficult place to navigate at first especially without any ability to speak or read Spanish.
Paz/Foreigner in Chile helped us navigate the city, find a great apartment, deal with lawyers, connect Internet, and generally feel more confident settling in Santiago.
Highly recommended for anyone vising Chile who plans to rent an apartment.

I have used Paz services several times and my savings in time and money have been considerable. Doing business in Latin-America can get really frustrating particularly because of red-tape, even for me that am fluent in Spanish. If you don’t know the procedures and you want to do it yourself, you better be ready to spend long hour and this could be for what you thought was the simplest procedure. If you consider your time valuable do yourself a favour and hire her services. She provides impeccable services today (not mañana).

Although I speak Spanish and have lived in Chile before, I can’t imagine trying to find a place to live alone. Paz was super professional and great to work with. She definitely went above and beyond to make sure my family was taken care of. This could have been a very scary move, but with Paz’s help I knew we’d find the right place…and we did.

Hi All,
Recently we wanted to ship our goods down here. Altho we are ‘do-it-yourself-ers’ we had heard a number of horror stories about getting it done.
Seems like if you get a decent price it turns out to be bogus with your goods being held to ransom until you pay them double the price because it is Tuesday morning, or you have a doorstep or some other ridiculous reason! OR the price is an outrage at the start and you could have bought two of everything for the shipping price being charged for a 200km truck ride. Etc.
I found and highly recommend ‘Foreigner in Chile’ . Paz, the young lady in charge worked tirelessly to solve all these sorts of issues. She speaks English/Spanish perfectly and worked in Europe for years in the shipping end of things. She knows her stuff and how to get it done as painlessly as possible
She gave me quotes for a number of companies from the ‘don’t lift a finger’ variety to the far less pricey ‘pack and unpack it yourself but leave all the heavy lifting and transporting to the pro’s.
We went for the last option.. Paz engaged in innumerable phone/Skype calls to get the best price for the option we chose. (That girl knows how to get a good price!) Then she made sure everything got done on both ends. She ensured proper paperwork was generated and sent where is was supposed to go. She made sure everything happened both at the origination point and then when it got here.
Because we were clearing it ourselves she counseled us with documents,times, addresses, who to talk to, etc. She then engaged appropriate movers for the Chile side to get everything in the house and reasonably in place.
Her price for this is an absolute pittance when compared to the work I would have had to do. 100′s of phone calls in Eng/Span, getting data,reviewing papers….etc.
If you are considering moving anything/anywhere I can’t give her a high enough customer service rating!

Ms. Paz’s service was hired to help us with a Visa Related matter and we must say that his professional assistance has proved very beneficial to us.
Ms. Paz was incredibly thorough with all the details involved and actively sought information pertaining to our case from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Immigration (Extranjeria).
Ms. Paz was diligent and methodical in his approach and made sure that the process was smooth from the beginning till the very end without leaving any space for contingencies or surprises.
Her involvement in seeing to a rapid closure of the matter is highly commendable.
Ms. Paz has a very good understanding of the various processes that one needs to undertake at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Immigration (Extranjeria) and I would highly recommend his services to anyone for their Chilean Visa related needs.

Our needs were probably a little different and more challenging than most relocations to Chile. We were very fortunate that another client of this excellent company recommended that we run, not walk , to the nearest phone to contact Paz. Until that point, we were attempting to plan this move by ourselves since we’d had experience in international moves, and one to South America. But we were quickly reminded that despite this experience and our move progressing pretty smoothly, there is still so much information to be gathered to make intelligent decisions. A trusted and reliable source is desperately needed to provide good, sound advice and practical assistance.
Enter Paz, and Foreigner in Chile.
From the moment we spoke to her, we were greatly relieved and reassured. Her style is calm, kind and right to the point, addressing all your questions and needs very honestly. And it’s all mixed with a great sense of humor. Our favorite quality about Paz is her most sincere”cup half full” attitude – she is extremely positive about everything, which is contagious! So on the days when we felt overwhelmed and stressed, her confident and happy attitude was amazing medicine.
With just the first phone call, and after completing a questionnaire that asks for specifics related to housing needs/desires, she quickly provided a list of houses for us to consider that exactly met the parameters we specified. On the house hunting trip, she carefully set up each appointment (easier said than done!) and ensured a meeting with the agent and/or owner. We had a few special requests that she was able to assist us with also, always going above and beyond the call of duty. There is another person who works with Paz – Nicole – who was also extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Everyone goes out of their way to provide outstanding customer service in the most prompt and professional manner, and they are very fairly priced.
Foreigner in Chile has enabled us to have a low stress relocation to our new home in Chile, We were very impressed and highly recommend them!
