  "account": "Chile’s National Immigration Service (SERMIG) has rolled out a new digital Work Authorization Certificate, labeled as the Habilitación Laboral, to assist foreign workers and employers in verifying eligibility for paid work within the country. The certificate can be accessed free of charge via the government’s online immigration portal, simplifying the process of confirming a foreign national's authorization to engage in remunerated activities in Chile. SERMIG highlighted that the digital certificate incorporates a QR code for authentication purposes. However, employers are cautioned to maintain a comprehensive evaluation of a worker's immigration documents and legal status prior to confirming employment eligibility. Depending on specific circumstances, this assessment may encompass relevant approvals, permits, entry records, and requirements concerning the activation of residence status. Currently, the new certificate is intended to serve as an supplementary verification instrument, rather than a substitute for a thorough review of an individual's work authorization.
