I’m about to register a unión convivencial and apply for temporary residency with my Argentine partner. I’m specifically looking for recent (late 2025–2026 after the change in law), first-hand experiences from people who have actually completed — or are currently going through — this process. Most of the forum discussions I’ve found are nearly a year old.
I’m interested in what actually happened in practice, as opposed to what’s stated online or on the Migraciones website.
If you’ve done this recently, I’d really appreciate any details you can share about:
1. Civil Union Registration
2. RADEX Application
3. Temporary Residency Appointment
My priority is obtaining the precaria as quickly as possible, and then making sure I have everything organized to complete the RADEX process smoothly.
I’m trying to approach this correctly and avoid common pitfalls, so detailed, recent experiences would be extremely helpful.
Thanks in advance!

If you’ve done this recently, I’d really appreciate any details you can share about:
1. Civil Union Registration
- How strictly was the 2-year cohabitation requirement enforced?
- Were witnesses required?
- Was the process fully in person, partially online, etc.?
2. RADEX Application
- Which documents did you upload initially?
- How long did it take to receive your precaria?
- Any issues or document requests after submission?
3. Temporary Residency Appointment
- What documents did Migraciones request at the appointment?
- Any unexpected delays or additional requirements?
