You become tax resident in Chile if you spend more than six months in-country or are domiciled in Chile. But, if you are a nonresident, you pay taxes in Chile only on your income generated within the country.
Chile taxes on worldwide income. But, as a new resident, you will pay tax only on Chilean income for the first three years, which can be extended for an additional three years.
