In Chile you can get a Visa de Residencia Temporaria/visa permanencia without a lot of paperwork and large expenses. I heard that locals are very friendly and can help you with paperwork if you don't want to engage a local lawyer to help you.
You won't get a permanent residence if you don't stay there though. I'm not sure if you need a certificate of good conduct from your country, you should ask google about it (usually embassy websites contain a list of all the documents you have to provide for an
immigration visa)
Here is the summary of steps you have to do to move to Chile:
Step 1. You need to get the documents that prove some fixed income in your home country (it can be a rental contract with 3-4 transactions that shows you receive income for renting your property abroad), or documents about receiving money from any freelance market system (I guess with a bank statement as well).
Step 2. Then you come to Chile and apply for a Cedula National Identity Card (ID). (It will give you a right to stay in Chile long term, but not work for a local company in Chile)
Step 3. Once you have a local ID you get access to local public services (Clave Unica) and you should register online as
self-employed and open an account in the pension fund AFP.
Step 4. Show (declare) the self-employment income of 1500 USD/month for 6 months (it obliges you to pay taxes + insurance about 150 USD/month). This way you can change your residence permit type (self-employed) to a local work visa/permit (so you can get a job there), as self-employed are allowed to do so. In another year after this transition you can get a
permanent residence permit for 5 years and 5 or 6 years later you can apply for
citizenship (if you live in the country).
If you need just a local temporary residence permit for some reason, Paraguay is a popular choice. It costs about $3000. However they require a lot of documents with an apostille including certificate of good conduct (if you have a criminal record, they won't approve your request)
You can request a Remote Work Visa in UAE online (total costs about $500 in Dubai). If they like the scanned copies of your documents they approve your visa and you don't have to show them any other documents later. This may work for you if don't need a right to work in the country.
