Visas and residence permits Argentina
We cover each basis separately: who qualifies, how much money is needed, what documents are required and how long to wait. 3 detailed breakdowns below.
Grounds Argentina
Start with whichever is closest to your situation. If you are not sure — we’ll work through it together.
Precaria
Precaria residency in Argentina: 90 calendar days, extendable, with the right to live, work, study, and enter and exit the country freely — and an explicit provision in the 2025 amended law stating that this period does not count toward arraigo for either permanent residency or naturalisation.
- 90 days · calendar days, the precaria period
- work is permitted · the right is included in the precaria
Residency categories
Three categories of residents under Law No. 25.871, subcategories of temporary residence with terms of up to three years — passive-income holders, retirees, investors, labour migrants, researchers, athletes — requirements for permanent residence, and the procedure for issuing a national identity document.
- 3 categories · permanent, temporary, transit
- up to 3 years · validity period for most sub-categories
Citizenship
Decree 366/2025 rewrote the citizenship law: two years of continuous and lawful residence, where continuous means remaining in the country without a single trip abroad, filing with the migration authority instead of the federal court, and a new route through a qualifying investment.
- 2 years · continuous and lawful residence
- zero exits · this is how the law defines continuity

Documents on the ground
Prices are in US dollars and are all-inclusive — nothing is added on top. Government fees for Migraciones and RENAPER are paid separately and directly to the authority: they are modest, set in pesos, and recalculated at the exchange rate of the day — we state the amount and show the receipts. Government fees are separate unless the line states otherwise. Payment procedure depends on the country and service; the account and contract go where they are needed. If it doesn’t work via on our side — we will refund the money; no one can guarantee approval. A legal consultation — 100 $, it is applied toward the cost of the service.
What else is needed in Argentina
The status is half the move. The other half is housing, a bank account, a school, doctor and documents on the ground. That is handled by the relevant destination sections network, and you won’t have to explain your situation again.
