Hundreds of Cuban citizens carry out extensive lines in the capital to regularize their situation in Chile, in the face of unconfirmed information from a refugee visa.

These people began to arrive, from different parts of the country, during the weekend after a group of WhatsApp information will be disclosed that foreigner would grant a visa.

This is seen as an important possibility by migrants, since many of them have entered Chile for informal steps and they do not have an identity card, so it would be an opportunity to regularize their situation.

Currently there more than 300 people Outside of Immigration in Matucana street with Atacama, Santiago commune. Several even stayed the night in order to be treated as soon as possible.

Some of the people who are there told why they are in line.


Carabineros personnel came to the place to sort the row, without being clear if said visa will actually be delivered. This was stated by Captain Juan Chari.

At 8:30 the doors of Immigration are opened, so at that time it is expected to be clear about the outcome of this situation.
