Visit (visa exemption)：베트남 → 칠레

Living in the US changes nothing — there is no visa to obtain and no Chilean consulate to visit from the United States; the transitory-stay permit is granted on entry regardless of where you live.

The official per-country table of the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists Vietnam ordinary passports as visa-free (¿Requiere visa?: NO): you enter Chile as a transitory-stay (Permanencia Transitoria) visitor without any visa, application or fee before travelling.
Every transitory-stay visitor must be able to show the border authority lawful means of subsistence for the stay, and the permit cannot outlast your passport's expiry date — travel with a passport that stays valid for your whole visit.
At the border you are admitted as a transitory-stay (Permanencia Transitoria) holder — the permit granted by the National Migration Service authorises a stay of up to 90 days without settling in the country. It can be extended once, by 90 days, inside Chile.
