Argentine legislation distinguishes four types of residences: precarious, transitory, temporary and permanent. These have variations in the length of allowed stay and in the activities authorized in the country.
- Precarious residence lasts up to 90 days. When this expires, it can be renewed if another type of residency has been applied for. It can also be used if the person is going to be for a short period of time in the country, as a tourist, for example.
- Overall, transitory residence is understood as the admission to remain in the country for a limited period of time, which in most cases is for a period of less than three months.
- Temporary residence is intended to foreign citizens interested in remaining in the country for a longer period of time. It applies in the following cases:
- If the foreign person is originally from some of the Mercosur countries, or some of the Associated States (Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Guyana and Suriname), he/she may apply for temporary residence in Argentina for a period of two years, without any other requirement.
- The same regulation applies to foreigners born in a non-Mercosur country but nationalized in Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile or Bolivia, and who have been nationalized for at least five years.
- Foreign citizens from non-Mercosur and non Associated States must also certify one of the following conditions:
3.1) Being seasonal migrating workers for a term of residence of three months, extendable for a similar period;
3.2) Patients with health issues who must be treated in public or private establishments will have the authorization to remain in the country for a year. This authorization is extendable.
3.3) Being foreign academics who perform academic activities according to agreements signed between higher educational institutions or;
3.4) Being students in formal education, investors, sportsmen, artists, scientists, professionals, technicians, or religious people; each case will be considered individually.
- Finally, permanent residence may be granted in the following cases:
- By family ties: being the spouse of a native or naturalized Argentinian; being the father or the mother of native or naturalized Argentinian son or daughter; being the son or the daughter of native or naturalized Argentinian mother or father; being the spouse of a permanent resident; being the father or the mother of a permanent resident; being a single son or a single daughter below the age of 18 of a permanent resident.
- By roots: in case of having held temporary residence for two consecutive years for Mercosur citizens, or three consecutive years for the rest of foreign citizens.
- For having served as a diplomatic or consular officer or for having worked in international organizations for two years consecutive.
- For being a refugee.
For each particular situation, we can advice and guide you through all the necessary steps through the paperwork, and we cater to your needs.
If you meet the requirements established in Argentinian Law to get the ordinary or early retirement plan, it is possible to apply for either of them. We help you through the paperwork, by accompanying you personally or by doing it ourselves with your permission. We have over ten years of experience in the area.
