Which industries commonly employ expats in Argentina?

Expat positions in large multinationals, such as the banking industry, oil/ gas, consumer goods and agriculture, are well established in Buenos Aires.

Otherwise, many expats teach English and offer services such as business translations, IT and technology , web business management and design.

Limited opportunities are available in in large multinationals such as in banking, oil and gas, consumer goods and agriculture.

What are the different types of employment visas available for working in Argentina?

The main type of employment visa available for expats travelling to Argentina is the Temporary Residence visa (23A/23E) for foreign citizens who will be locally hired (23A) or transferred (23E) to Argentina.

What is the process for getting a work permit?

Processes and requirements will vary according to the labour market at the time of application, the nationality of the applicant, country of application and personal circumstances of the assignee and any family dependants. We therefore recommend that you contact us for up-to-date information.

Applications are submitted to the Argentinean Immigration Office for an “Acta de Notificación” to be issued by the authorities, after which the temporary residence visa application should be submitted to the Argentinian Embassy or consulate in the applicant’s country of residence or origin.

Following approval, the applicant enters Argentina and can commence work while applying for CUIL (tax) number and DNI (ID) card.

What documents are required for the work permit?

Requirements may vary slightly according to country of application and nationality of the applicant.

Mandatory documents include, but are not limited to;

Applicant’s passport and copy of all pages, birth certificate, Police Clearance Certificates, work contract, assignment letter and company RENURE registration documentation.

A number of personal documents will also need to be legalised prior to submission. Some documents will also need to be translated. Newland Chase can assist with this.

Some consulates may request passport valid for one year (instead of six months) and birth certificates for the principal and spouse.

How long does it take for the process to be completed?

It typically takes 2 – 6 Months until entry to Argentina, and a further 1 to 2 months before the whole process is completed.

What is the duration of a Work Permit?

A Temporary Residence Visa is initially granted for up to 12 months and is renewable. The DNI card is issued with validity in line with the visa.

Can an assignee enter Argentina on a business/tourist visa?

You may apply for a post arrival change of status if you have travelled to Argentina on a visitor visa. This route may be used for applicants who will be locally hired by a company in Argentina.

You can therefore come to Argentina on a visitor visa and switch categories if you find a job. However, you are not permitted to start work until your work visa application has been approved.

Can an assignee apply for permanent residence in Argentina?

Mercosur nationals can apply for permanent residence after living in Argentina for 2 continuous years.

Non-Mercosur nationals can apply for permanent residence after living in Argentina for 3 continuous years on a temporary residence permit.

Applicants are required to submit proof that they do not have a criminal record in Argentina or overseas.

How can I ensure my relocation is successful?

Some supporting documentation will require legalisation, which, depending on the country of origin, may take several weeks. The timing of a police clearance is also crucial as depending on the current country of residence, it may take several months to obtain a police clearance certificate.

Upon application the obtained police certificate must be issued no more than 90 days prior to the temporary residence application.

As such, you would be advised to start the visa application process well in advance of the desired date of relocation. Check with Newland Chase for all up-to-date information on visa requirements and for assistance with ensuring a successful application.
