Read off UV's own fee decree (Decreto Exento 1039 of 19 December 2025), row 19085, column "ARANCEL DECIL 10 (A.Real UV)" -- A.Real UV being UV's real arancel, the undiscounted price. The decree states it is fixing the aranceles "para los estudiantes no beneficiados con la gratuidad", and Gratuidad plus the decil 7-8-9 fee cap (4.622.118 for this degree) are Chilean state benefits under Ley 21.091, so an international student pays the real figure. IMPORTANT on how this row was located: the decree carries four tables with identical headers and identical carrera codes, one per entry cohort, and their titles are drawn in an embedded font that text extraction turns into mojibake. The tables were identified by rendering the PDF pages to images -- the first is INGRESO 2026, the one used here; the later ones (INGRESO 2025 and earlier) price this same degree differently. The row is additionally corroborated by UV's own admission page for the degree, https://admision.uv.cl/carreras/ingenieria-civil-informatica, which publishes the same Decil 10 figure.

Universidad de Valparaíso prices this degree by socioeconomic decile rather than publishing one arancel: $4.609.882 a year for deciles 7 to 9 and $5.289.000 a year for decile 10, plus a matrícula of $226.000, all for 2026. Deciles are assigned by Chile's MINEDUC socioeconomic assessment, a domestic instrument that does not place an international student, and the page does not say which band applies to someone outside it — so the structured fee is left null rather than filled with the decile-10 figure on the assumption that an unsubsidised foreign student pays the top band. Same treatment as Universidad de Talca elsewhere on StudyPath, and for the same reason.

How UV compares

Against the other universities in Chile on StudyPath, using each one's verified international fees and its own published housing prices. Universities are only compared with others charging in the same currency (and, for housing, for the same period), so no figure here has been converted. A ~ marks a year worked out from a per-term or whole-course fee.

UV's lowest undergraduate fee for international students is CLP 4,651,000 a year, for Ingeniería en Estadística y Ciencia de Datos. Of the 16 other universities in Chile we list with undergraduate fees in CLP, 11 charge more at their lowest, 5 charge less. Their lowest undergraduate fees run from CLP 3,680,000 (UBB) to CLP 6,775,000 (PUCV).

What Chile's own immigration authority currently publishes. Not a ranking, not a guarantee, and not the same as what any agent or forum will tell you. Whether someone actually obtains residence depends on occupation, points, funds and policy that can change between application and graduation.

Route to citizenship

Chile's Servicio Nacional de Migraciones (SERMIG, under the Ministry of the Interior and Public Security) states that a Letter of Naturalisation (Carta de Nacionalización) — a means of acquiring Chilean nationality under Article 10 No. 3 of the Constitution, formalised through a decree signed by the Minister of the Interior on the President's order — may be granted under three routes. The ordinary route (Article 2 of Decree Law No. 5.142) requires the applicant to be 18 or older, hold a currently valid Permanent Residence (Residencia Definitiva), and have 5 or more years of residence in Chile, counted from when they first obtained the Temporary Residence stamp that led to the Permanent Residence they now hold. A parallel route exists for a foreigner's child aged 14+ who holds Permanent Residence and the same 5-year residence history, with notarised parental authorisation. A faster 'qualified naturalisation' route (Article 85 of Law No. 21.325, the Migration and Foreign Nationals Law) requires only 2 years of continuous residence for a Permanent Resident who has one of several specific ties to Chile: being the spouse of a Chilean national for at least 2 years with the marriage registered in Chile and a shared household maintained throughout; being a blood relative of a Chilean up to the second degree, or someone adopted by a Chilean; or being the child of a parent who was Chilean but lost that nationality before the child's birth. StudyPath found no SERMIG statement addressing dual nationality or a requirement to renounce the applicant's original nationality, so no claim is made on that point.

New entry added 19 August 2026. One Chilean government domain accepted as a government source here: extranjeria.gob.cl (covering its tramites.extranjeria.gob.cl subdomain — Chile's Servicio Nacional de Migraciones digital-procedures portal, the actual reachable source used here). On the source: the main www.extranjeria.gob.cl domain (and specific pages like /visas/visa-de-estudiante/) returned a browser error page and a curl SSL principal-name mismatch on every attempt, while the tramites.extranjeria.gob.cl subdomain worked reliably — a future collector chasing SERMIG content should go straight to the tramites subdomain. Chile's Migration and Foreign Nationals Law (Ley N° 21.325) full text was located on leychile.cl (Biblioteca del Congreso Nacional) and its 'imprimir' (print) view did render real static text via the browser, but the full norm is very long (183,616 characters) and this project's page-text extraction truncates at 50,000 characters with no built-in pagination could use to reach the Article 85 qualified-naturalisation text or any student-specific work-rights articles within the time available — the 5-year/2-year naturalisation criteria actually used above were instead found pre-summarised, with their own correct statutory cross-references (DL 5.142 and Ley 21.325 Art. 85), on SERMIG's own procedures portal. registrocivil.cl (Servicio de Registro Civil e Identificación, which also plays a role in Chilean nationality documentation) was checked but sits behind a CAPTCHA challenge this project cannot solve. workDuringStudy, postStudyWork and residencyRoute are all left null: StudyPath confirmed that 'Propósito de Estudios' (Study Purpose) is one of the named Temporary Residence subcategories under Ley 21.325 (via SERMIG's own residence-permit overview, ver_ficha/245) but did not reach substantive text on work rights during study, a post-study bridge status, or the specific residence-length route from Temporary to Permanent Residence within the time available — recorded as an absence of found information, not a confirmed 'no'; a future collector should pursue Ley 21.325's Título on Temporary Residence subcategories and its implementing Decreto 296 of 2021 directly, ideally via a tool that can paginate past leychile.cl's 50,000-character extraction limit. inDemandOccupations is left null for the same reason. naturalisationStatus set to 'published-route': SERMIG publishes real, numbered residence-length and status criteria for both the ordinary and qualified naturalisation routes — per the doc comment on ResidencyPathway.naturalisationStatus this field records only whether criteria are published, not how demanding Chile's underlying Permanent Residence prerequisite is to reach. citizenshipTerms records the ordinary Carta de Nacionalización route: 5 years of residence, counted from the Temporary Residence stamp that led to the Permanent Residence the applicant currently holds, and requiring valid Permanent Residence at the time of application. The qualified-naturalisation route under Article 85 of Law 21.325 requires only 2 years but is limited to applicants with a specific Chilean family tie. dualCitizenshipAllowed is null: SERMIG’s page does not address renunciation.
