Chile's company register lists 2,689,048 officer rows, 2,176,128 with a stated nationality (self-stamp rate 1.00; above 0.98 the field is ignored as it only repeats the register's own country).

Counts are people with a documented cross-border move: an official register's nationality or birthplace, ORCID/VIAF/Wikidata records, or a dated study-then-work transition. Name-based estimates and heritage (ancestral) readings are not included in these counts. Groups under 5 people are folded into "Other".
