Work
This type of visa is intended for foreigners residing within our jurisdiction and who hold a contract of employment in Argentina for a period of up to one year, or are employed by a foreign company transferred from a local subsidiary to Argentina.
Applications for these type of visas may be started either by the Argentine-based company at Dirección Nacional de Migraciones (DNM) in Argentina, or by theapplicant at the Consulate General.
Applications submitted directly to the Consulate General require further verifications with DNM prior to issuing the visas, which may take several weeks or even months.
If the process starts in Argentina an entry permit must be requested by the future employer to DNM. When the application is authorised, the DNM uploads the entry permit to the visa system. Once the applicants know that the entry permit procedure has been completed, only then can they contact us to book an appointment.
