    Abstract:
    Chile's law 18.994, published in the official newspaper on August 20, 1990, creates the National Office of Return as a decentralized public service under the supervision of the Chilean president. Its objectives include studying and implementing programs to facilitate social reinsertion of exiles of current or past Chilean nationality and the children born abroad of exiled Chilean parents. The National Office of Return is to coordinate programs with specialized international organizations, public agencies, and nongovernmental organizations; assist in the legislative reforms necessary to regulate the situation of returning nationals; serve as an initial reception center for returning nationals; and participate in management of international resources destined to facilitate reinsertion of returning nationals. The National Office of Return is to report periodically to the president on the progress of its activities. To complete its objectives, the Office should initiate measures leading to recuperation of Chilean nationality when appropriate, facilitate residence permits for non-Chilean spouses and children born abroad, arrange customs facilities for their domestic goods and work instruments, facilitate recognition and continuation of education obtained abroad, and aid in solving problems related to recognition of academic degrees and professional titles obtained abroad. It should help procure housing, insurance, and health care for those returning, and clear their records of expulsion orders and similar notations. The remaining articles specify details of the structure, personnel, and financing of the office. The National Office of Return is expected to function for 40 months.
