While such applications can be lodged at any post, it is recommended that they be lodged direct with Santiago (in person, by mail or by courier), as forwarding documents from other posts can take up to a month. However, fees/charges can be paid at any post, and the receipt should then be sent by the applicant with the application direct to Santiago.
