Answer 1

iv heard about these questions before i here in some latin american countries it could be done.and anyways your in chile for a reason to start new.adios si queres ser chileno vas aser chileno por corazon.

Answer 2

Yes. Germany does allow for dual citizenship but you need to register that you want to keep your German citizenship before you get your Chilean by getting a Beibehaltungsgenehmigung (BBG). You need to prove that you have enough ties to Germany for it to be unreasonable for you to give up your German citizenship (speak the language, do business there, family etc).

Try talking to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zweipaesse... . They're a yahoo group that specializes in helping Germans keeping their German citizenship.

Answer 3

As long as you do not live past 23!
