I may not have much to say about Chile's Economy, but for a country whose passport is visa free to America and Canada, I don't think the country is that bad as people say here.

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/tourism-visit/visa-waiver-program.html

The Chilean economy is not bad. The link above shows the list of countries that enjoy visa free access to the US. None of those countries are poor - they are wealthy. If any becomes poor tomorrow, the country will lose that status. An example was Argentina - she lost her status in 2002. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2002/02/21/argentina-dropped-from-non-visa-travel-program/2dbdd16f-54af-4486-ad7a-15338bd9f24c/ Neigbouring Uruguay lost hers in 2003 but has worked hard to achieve less than 3% nonimmigrant refusal rate to the US, yet she has not be readmitted.

Surprisingly, Argentina has worked hard to regain her status by ensuring there is less than 3% nonimmigrant refusal rate to the US, yet she has not been readmitted. Israel has less than 3% nonimmigrant refusal rate, yet has never been admitted. Croatia was the latest country to be admitted into the program in 2021. Chile had enjoyed unrestricted access to the US labour market since 2004 but was only admitted into the VWP in 2014 - ten years gap. If Chile is poor, she would have lost her VWP by now and would never be issued a separate H1B1 category - which they have never exceeded the limits.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-include-gaza-americans-us-visa-waiver-pilot-by-sept-15-2023-08-07/ If this pilot program succeeds, Israel would become the newest entrant to the VWP. Israel is not a poor country.

https://www.foreign.senate.gov/press/dem/release/menendez-hagerty-kaine-introduce-united-states-uruguay-economic-partnership-act If this goes as planned, Uruguay would be readmitted. Uruguay is not a poor country.

Using the VWP to judge how rich a country is very accurate as visa-free access to the world's richest country by GDP is not a mean feat. It is akin to unrestricted access to Dangote's house any time, any day. Anyone who has that privilege is a rich person.

Chilean babes are very very very very beautiful. When I start school I will post some pics of Chilean babes.

It seems Salesforce is a very big deal in Chile. I was learning Salesforce in Nigeria even racked up certifications but I could never get jobs with it. I just got frustrated and stopped learning it. I started applying to jobs here after moving in and I already have 3 interviews scheduled from the same day all for Salesforce developer jobs . The thing Is I have completely forgotten everything I knew then. I have to go revise them.

good morning bro nice thread you have here thanks for the info you provide here, please I want to ask the reason you weren't getting jobs is it because you are in Nigeria? I'm asking because my sister just started learning Salesforce administration and I don't want her to make a mistake in her career path, by learning something that won't get her a job here in Nigeria,be it remote or onsite

Location plays a big role. Even if we manage to get jobs in Nigeria most of the jobs are what I will call crumb jobs. Tiny agencies or startups with no faculty for growth. I know a very bad ass Salesforce developer in Nigeria. This guy is very very good but the Nigerian location is seriously limiting him. If that guy enters the US with his knowledge he won't make less than six figures. He's that good. He's the one I go to whenever I have issues with Salesforce. To be honest, your sister should keep on learning. Everyone's grace is different. There are still people earning fat salary from remote jobs in the same Nigeria. Grace!!!

Evil travel agents and demonic scammers fighting back .
The truth is always bitter. Young Nigerians, be warned. If it's not western Europe, USA, Canada, UK or Australia, then sit your ass back in Nigeria. Before warned, is before armed

A word is enough for the wise

Thanks for this.

The day I came across this info that Chilean passport is visa free to the US, it changed my perception about Chile.

I used to have this mindset of a country still affected economically by Augusto Pinochet regime but that changed when I read that information.

For a country to have visa free access to the US means that they are doing well economically and that they hardly migrate.

Agosto Pinochet made Chile what it is. He's worshipped here in Chile. The man literally built Chile from the ground up.
