For expats, Chile offers a high quality of life and a stable political and economic environment. The country has a strong economy and a relatively low unemployment rate, and it's considered one of the most developed and prosperous countries in Latin America. The healthcare system is also considered good, and expats have access to good schools and universities. However, the cost of living can be relatively high in some areas, particularly in Santiago and Valparaíso, and housing costs can also be high.
The official language is Spanish, and it's important for expats to have a basic understanding of Spanish to be able to navigate the country and integrate into the society. Chile is a relatively conservative society and can be quite formal at times, so it's also good to know about the local customs and etiquette.
