I didn't know that you could pick it up in Santiago. Is there a consulate there? Your best bet would be in Santo Domingo. The delivery should be faster in the capital. You can also pick it up, but I don't think they're using DOMEX anymore though.

I knew I read it somewhere, but it looks like it won't be until November.

Please be aware that beginning on November 2014, our Courier service provider, DOMEX, may change. We encourage our visa applicants to check our webpage.
