Temporary Residence For Family Reunification

If you have permanent Argentine resident family members, you will have the rights to apply for the Temporary Residency Permit (DNI Temporaria) under family reunification and move to Argentina. Alternatively, if your family members are not only permanent residents but also citizens, you can apply for Permanent Residency (Residencia Permanente), obtain your permanent residency card (DNI Permanente), and immigrate to Argentina.

Required Documents:

1.- Valid passport

2.- Argentine criminal record.

3.- Criminal record of the country of origin. The Document has/must be endorsed by the Argentine consular authority or with the Hague Convention apostilled or endorsed by the consular authority of the issuing country in Argentina (only valid for Mercosur and associated countries). This is required only for foreigners over 16 years of age.

4.- Certificate of address (Certificado de Domicilio) or utility bill in your name.

5.- Stamp of entry to the country on the travel document or digital records of your entry.

To do this, you must provide:

  • Birth or marriage certificate duly legalized/apostilled that proves the alleged family relationship.
  • Document proving temporary resident status.

Who Can Apply?

This visa is designed for foreign nationals who are directly related to someone who is currently living in Argentina temporarily. Specifically, this includes:

  • Unmarried children under 18 years old or over 18 with a disability

Residency and Citizenship for Applicants Related to Argentine Residents

If you marry an Argentine citizen, you will receive Permanent Residency in Argentina. This grants you the rights to live in Argentine permanently for an infinite period. Using this residency, you may live in Argentina for two years to obtain your Argentine citizenship.

If you have temporary or permanent residency in Argentina but are not yet a citizen, your residency card (DNI) will include the “extranjero” (foreigner) note, meaning you are not yet an Argentine citizen.

Inviting Relatives to Argentina as a Resident Without Citizenship

If you are a resident of Argentina but do not have citizenship yet, and you would like to invite your parents to Argentina, your parents will receive temporary residency in Argentina under family reunification. After two continuous years of residency in Argentina, they will be eligible to apply for citizenship.
