Transitorial residency is a temporary permit granted to foreigners for a specific purpose, such as study, work, or a project. It is valid for a short period (usually a few months up to one year) and does not count toward the two-year requirement for citizenship. For example, you can study Spanish in Argentina for one, two, or three years, but you must renew the transitorial residency each year at the National Directorate of Migration (DNM).
