Applying for residence from outside of Argentina – I'm married to an Argentine citizen - Need advise please

[Nashville]

I am preparing to apply for residency in Argentina as the spouse of an Argentine citizen and would greatly appreciate clarification on a few points.

1. Processing Time: How long does the residency application process typically take once all documents have been submitted?
2. Financial Requirements: I’ve encountered conflicting information regarding the need to demonstrate financial solvency. Is it necessary for me to provide proof of independent financial means, or is it sufficient for my Argentine spouse to sponsor me and demonstrate the ability to support us both?

Some sources indicate that financial proof is not required for spouses of Argentine citizens, while others suggest it is a key component of the application. Any up-to-date or firsthand guidance you could provide would be most helpful.


Thanks to anyone that can help!

You should talk to @Jakoval. He was married to an Argentine and he applied for Residency. He posted on the process so I don't have the link but he posted on this.

Visas Thread 'How complicated is it to obtain residency in Argentina?'

Jul 12, 2024

Getting residency in Argentina isn't usually that complicated for foreigners. It depends on the type of visa you apply for, but generally, you just need to gather some documents, like proof of income and background checks. It might take a bit to process, but it's not too difficult. I think this guy just had bad luck, it must be frustrating to start the process from scratch again. If you want to make it easier, it might be a good idea to talk to a lawyer or someone specialized in immigration.

What’s your experience with this?

Thread 'Help! I'm getting married to an Argentine and have my permanent resident interview after marriage. What evidence is needed?'

Dec 23, 2023

So the day that I thought would never come has come! I tricked someone into marrying me! LOL. Seriously I met a great American guy. We have our interview coming up to get my husband his DNI. Can anyone who has gone through this process explain what they might want us to bring to the meeting? The notification I got in the email said to just come with my husband.

I paid an expedite fee to speed up the process. It was a fairly straight forward process. I'm used to everything taking forever and not working here in my country. But I'm quite pleased with the time frame of everything...

When I did my PR, they didn't initially ask me to provide proof of income. However, when they sent me an email to schedule the interview later in the process, they did ask for additional documents (some of which was already given to them but they asked for it again anyway) and one of them was Solvencia Económica del grupo familiar (declaración jurada de ingresos económicos o monotributo) and I used my spouse's proof since I wasn't working. My case took 7 months till the plastic DNI was in my hand. It could have been faster but I was missing the legalization of the antecedentes penales. If I had it ready on the spot along with other documents, I imagine it might have taken around 6 months.

Do you think it slow you down not having any income?

I don't think so.
