Hi Ian - quick question that you might be able to answer (since you're currently out there!): do you happen to know what the policy is if a founder wants to take his non-business partner with him (i.e. long term gf or wife)? Is it something generally discouraged or is it fine if one covers the costs out of ones own pocket? Do you know of any team founders/members currently down there that have done this? Thanks!
I had a skim through the FAQs on the startup chile site but couldn't find a direct answer.

- corford 15y agoAwesome, thanks!
- jot 15y agoIt's fine (or at least has been to date). I know wives, girlfriends, husbands and boyfriends that have all been supported with identical 12 month work visas to founders but their costs are not covered so it'll be out of your own pocket. If you're a sole founder I recommend putting them on your application form as you'll be able to reimburse more for accommodation, salary, flights and visas which are probably your main costs.
