RESIDENCE VISA (LONG-TERM)

CITIZENSHIP

Long-term (residence) visas to Argentina are issued to foreigners who want to settle in Argentina.

The most common types of visas for residence in Argentina:

An Argentine work visa issued to foreigners who have found work in Argentina and received a work permit.

Your employer issues a work permit on your behalf.

An Argentine student visa issued to foreigners who wish to continue their studies at an Argentine educational institution.
Argentine family visa issued to foreigners who wish to join an immediate family member who is a citizen or permanent resident of Argentina.
An Argentine investment visa issued to foreigners who invest a significant amount of money in an activity, trade or service in Argentina (around 1.5 million Argentine pesos).
Argentina Retirement Visa issued to foreigners who want to retire in Argentina and can support themselves financially without the need to work.

They must have a monthly pension income of at least 30,000 Argentine pesos.

The Argentina Digital Nomad Visa was launched on May 21, 2022 and is intended for remote workers in Argentina.

This allows digital nomads to work for both an international company and an Argentinian company.

In addition to a visa, all foreign nationals wishing to stay in Argentina for longer than three months must register with the Argentine authorities upon arrival and obtain a residence permit/national identity card.

Family residence visa

If you are traveling to Argentina to join a family member already living there, you need the following additional documents:

A criminal record certificate issued by the police in your country
Proof of family relationship, such as a marriage or birth certificate, if available
A certified copy of your family member's National Identity Document (DNI) in Argentina.

Citizenship by origin

Argentine citizenship law follows the law of "jus sanguinis", which allows any child of at least one Argentine parent to acquire Argentine citizenship.

If the child is born outside the country, the Argentine parents must present the child's birth certificate to the local Argentine embassy. In addition, the child can later adopt Argentine citizenship upon reaching the age of 18.

Naturalization

Naturalization allows a foreign citizen to obtain Argentine citizenship. The procedure is different in each individual case.

What is naturalization?

Naturalization is the last step in the process of integration into the Argentine way of life. This gives you the right to vote and run for office.

Since Argentina recognizes dual citizenship, applicants for an Argentine passport do not risk losing their original citizenship, provided the country of origin also allows dual citizenship.

You can apply for naturalized Argentine citizenship if you have lived in the country for at least two years. You will need to confirm employment and continuous residence, as well as provide other important documents, including your passport and DNI (residence card).

What are the basic requirements for obtaining citizenship by naturalization?

Applicants must:

be over 18 years of age
live in Argentina for at least 2 years
file an application for naturalization with a federal judge.

Naturalization may be denied if applicants:

during the last 5 years were in prisons for more than 3 years
are under criminal prosecution
have an illegal source of income

working without legal permission is considered by the majority of the appeals chamber not to be a legitimate source of income.

What documents are required to obtain citizenship through naturalization?

Marriage certificate or proof that the applicant has lived continuously for 2 years in Argentina. If the marriage was concluded outside of Argentina, it is necessary to first register the marriage certificate in Argentina
Photocopy of identification number and/or passport
Information about criminal records
Certificate of residence
Confirmation of the availability of funds: employment contract, a certificate from the place of work or a receipt for wages
If there are Argentine children: photocopies of birth certificates and DNM certificate.

Citizenship by marriage

If you plan to obtain Argentine citizenship through marriage, you will need the following documents to apply:

Both parties must present identity documents. One party who is a foreigner must present a passport and legal immigration status in the country
If a person is divorced or widowed, he or she must provide a certified copy of the divorce decree or the death certificate of the deceased spouse. This copy must be certified in the issuing country at the Argentine consulate or by apostille. The certificate of previous marriage and/or divorce decree must be registered in the Argentine civil registry office in a judicial manner
If a minor (under 18) intends to marry in Argentina, he/she must present a birth certificate legalized in his/her country of issue with an apostille or at an Argentine consulate, identity documents, a marriage license issued by parents or guardian of a minor, or documents proving the identity of the parents by an Argentine court.
