I'm planning on living and working in Argentina (possibly Mendoza or Buenos Aires) for about 6 months and I was wondering what paper work I would need to fill out and how long this would take.Will I need a work visa/business visa? Do I need to fill out paper work for temporary residence? Any information will be helpful and much appreciated! Thanks! | ||

Hello Ashli and welcome to the forum What will you be working at. The reason I ask is you can stay up to 6 months in Argentina with just your US passport and most other passports by paying a small fee after the first three months at immigration. Or you can take a boat trip across the Rio de la Plata after the first 3 months to Uruguay, get your passport stamped there and return to Buenos Aires. hasta luego | ||

Having received my permanent Visa/citizenship, I am ready to make the move to Chacras de Coria, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza where I own a house and there is going to be a strong need for Spanish instruction for me as I speak almost none....Thomas | ||

I am sure that with many more posts such as the last 2 repeated ones I will not be welcomed in Argentina  I was attempting to tell Riyad that I would write to him privately. Also, I had intended to share that once I had settled in Mendoza I would share my experience that I had last October driving across Argentina so that I could be with my wife's children on Mothers Day. There has been great discussion on bus travel and I for one loved the incredible experience driving it by car as I now really have an understanding of the geography of that part of Argentina....Thomas | ||

Ashli the last time I paid it, 2 years ago, it was 100 pesos, about 33 dollars. the boat ride to Uruguay is probably less. | ||

I'm looking at working a ski season as an instructor or ski patroler as i have done in Whistler. I've kinda been exploring since sept 05 from wimbledon London . Visas temporary.... i have UK CAN and NZ passports, which would be best to use for work visa...contact argentinian embassy, or just keep it simple and use 6 months tourist visa and volunteer. i just need to find an excuse to be on the slopes helping people teaching or rescue....just learn the language. Ashli do you want to learn how to ski in exchange for ski lessons? | ||

Please take into account that you are not allowed to work on a tourist card (transitory visa) - you can easily get the 3 months plus 3 months extension, but that's for tourists. Still you might find an employer, and I know people who gave english lessons in language schools while on a tourist card - but keep in mind that this is not "in the white", i.e. illegal. Getting a temporary visa (which allows you to work legally) is a long and tedious process, and hardly worth the effort when you plan to stay for only 6 months. | ||

Hi, I am wondering about needing proof of departure when entering Argentina from an international flight. I am a US citizen and will be working as an English teacher in Buenos Aires for 6 months to 1 year. I was told by the company that is certifying me as a teacher that I would need proof of departure in order to get a tourist visa. However, the state dept website doesn't say that you need proof of departure. I currently have a one way plane ticket and don't want to buy a ticket home yet. What is the actual rule with proof of departure and a 90 day tourist visa? |
