What are the requirements for a power of attorney granted abroad to be valid in Chile?

Powers of attorney granted abroad are subject to the following conditions:

The power of attorney must be signed in the presence of the corresponding Chilean Consul and legalized by the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It will be valid for 6 months from the date of issuance. If the Consul operates in a country that is a signatory to the Hague Apostille Convention, only apostille certification is required to validate the document, which also grants a 6-month validity. If the power of attorney is notarized in Chile within 30 days of its issuance, its validity is extended to two years, the same as a public deed.
