Move to Argentina by Registering a Remote Company and Obtaining a Work Visa
Are you planning to move to Argentina? With its vibrant culture, diverse landscapes, and economic opportunities, Argentina is a top choice for digital nomads, entrepreneurs, and professionals alike. But how can you make this move legally and establish a working life in Argentina? One approach is to register a company remotely and use this entity to sponsor your own work visa.
Steps to Moving to Argentina with a Work Visa
We, Immi.Legal, assisted many clients in navigating Argentina’s work visa processes, particularly for those interested in registering companies and securing their own work authorization. Here’s an overview of how this approach works and how we can support you:
1. Registering a Company Remotely in Argentina
One of the first steps to moving to Argentina through this method is to establish a legitimate business presence in the country. Here’s how it typically works:
– Choose the Right Business Structure: Common options include Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada (SRL) or Sociedad Anónima (SAS). These structures provide flexibility and legal recognition.
– Remote Registration: In most cases, in-person presence in obligatory, however, with power of attorney you can register your company remotely, but certain requirements, such as appointing a local legal representative, may apply.
– Comply with Local Laws: You’ll need to comply with all Argentine corporate regulations, including taxes, employment standards, and periodic reporting requirements.
We can guide you through this process, from selecting the right business structure to ensuring legal compliance.
2. Issuing a Self-Sponsored Work Invitation Letter
Once your company is registered, you have to make your company eligible to hire foreigners. This process will be processed at Renure, under the Migracion Department . Once your business is designated to hire foreigners you can issue an invitation letter from your business to yourself. This letter is essential in applying for a work visa and should include:
– Job Description: Clearly describe your role, responsibilities, and any specific expertise.
– Proof of Company Operations: This can include your business registration and any financial projections, demonstrating that the business will sustain itself.
– Employment Terms: Define your expected working hours, salary, and employment benefits.
By issuing this invitation letter, you’re establishing yourself as an employee of your company, making you eligible for a work visa in Argentina.
3. Applying for a Work Visa in Argentina
To finalize your move to Argentina, the next step is to apply for a work permit through Argentine immigration authorities. This process includes:
– Gathering Required Documents: Alongside your invitation letter, you’ll need your passport, proof of company registration, and any other supporting documents.
– Submitting Your Application: Applications can typically be filed at an Argentine consulate in your home country or within Argentina if you are visa free country passport holder. Visa free country nationalities can enter Argentina without visa and switch to any suitable residency. However, passport holders of nationalities who need visa must enter with the same visa category they intend to reside in Argentina.
– Approval and Residence Permit: Upon approval, your work visa at the consulate will allow you to enter, live, and work in Argentina, often with the potential for permanent residency after three years of consecutive stay under Temporary Residence.
Immi.Legal handles the complexities of the visa process, ensuring that your application is complete and accurately represents your intentions.
