Chile is far from Venezuela in kilometers, but close in stories: more than 720,000 Venezuelans built their lives there, mostly in Santiago. They arrived crossing half a continent; many started with a suitcase and today have a complete home.

If you decided to make the journey back, you don't have to repeat the trek with your belongings on your shoulders. From Santiago, Viña del Mar or any region of Chile, you don't have to do it alone.

At JJ Marí we understand that a return move isn't just any move. It's bringing back the years you lived. Our job is to make sure all of it travels the continent with you, intact.

The Chile → Caracas route, explained clearly

How long does a move from Chile to Caracas take? The complete transit, from pickup at your home in Chile to delivery in Caracas, takes approximately 55 to 65 days by sea: the longest of our American routes, due to the distance and the Pacific-to-Caribbean connections. We keep you informed at every step of the way.

How does your move travel? We coordinate pickup and packing at your home in Santiago or any city in Chile through our international network of certified agents. Your cargo ships from the ports of San Antonio or Valparaíso toward the port of La Guaira, and from there our team in Venezuela takes it to your door.

Full or shared container? If you're taking a whole home, an exclusive 20 or 40 ft container is the right choice. If your volume is smaller, consolidated cargo (LCL) lets you share a container and reduce costs, calculated by cubic meters. We always start with a free survey and a transparent quote, no fine print.

And Venezuelan customs? We handle customs clearance at La Guaira and guide you from day one on the current requirements for bringing in used household goods and personal effects as a returning Venezuelan. The paperwork is ours; the peace of mind, yours.

Returning to Venezuela from Chile: what's worth knowing

More and more Venezuelan families in Chile are weighing the return. If that's your case, take note:

Start with 3 months of lead time. It's the longest route on the continent; booking early makes the difference in dates and rates.

On a long crossing, packing is everything. International-standard materials and techniques, and piece-by-piece photographic inventory: your things arrive as they left.

Mind the voltage. Chile uses 220V and Venezuela 110-120V: some appliances won't work without a transformer. In the survey we review together which are worth shipping and which to replace.

Your status as a returning Venezuelan matters. Used household goods and personal effects are processed under different regimes than commercial cargo. We tell you which documents to prepare before leaving Chile.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a move from Chile to Caracas cost?

Every move is different, like every story. The cost depends on the volume in cubic meters and the type of service (exclusive or consolidated container). The survey is free and the quote transparent: it reflects exactly what you need to move and how you want to do it.

How long does the move take?

Approximately 55 to 65 days door to door, by sea. It's our longest American route, and from day one you'll be accompanied and informed.

Will my Chilean appliances work in Venezuela?

Chile uses 220V and Venezuela 110-120V, so many appliances would need a transformer. In the free survey we review with you which are worth shipping for their value and which are better to replace.

How is the survey done if I'm in Santiago?

By video call. You walk through your home with us, we build the estimated inventory and send you the quote. Simple and no-obligation.

What documents do I need to bring my household goods into Venezuela?

Each case has its particulars, but you don't face it alone. We tell you the required documentation as a returning Venezuelan from the start and handle every procedure with you.
