Argentina permanent residency is for foreigners who want to live in Argentina permanently. To apply, you must show that you have enough money to support yourself and no serious criminal record.
Suppose you are the child of an Argentine citizen (native, naturalized, or chosen by option who are born abroad) and you also were born outside Argentina. In that case, you can get permanent residency more easily.
The authorities shall permit their free entry and permanence in the territory.
According to Decree 366/2025, foreigners can obtain Argentine temporary residency through family reunification. This includes being the spouse, parent, or child of an Argentine citizen (native, naturalized, or by option), or of someone who already has residency in Argentina. If approved, they can stay in the country for up to 3 years, with the option to extend. They’re also allowed to enter and leave Argentina multiple times. The immigration office considers the importance of keeping families together when making decisions.
