    Visa Applications While Overstaying

    Correct, I have not personally been in contact with migraciones so they do not have any way to reach out to me (as far as I know). I'm pretty sure they don't even have a current address for me, since they didn't ask me where I was staying the last time I entered the country.

    Visa Applications While Overstaying

    So this is more or less the same as what the lawyer I spoke with told me. When you overstay a visa you are considered to have an "irregular" migration status, which isn't in itself a crime. It only becomes a crime if you receive a notice to "regularise" your migration status and you fail to do...

    Visa Applications While Overstaying

    I'll provide some more context - I'm only really looking to stay another 6 months at most. I will be leaving the country before the end of the year. It's primarily because I don't like the idea of overstaying - as you say, a moral dilemma more than anything else. I would rather do the "right"...

    Visa Applications While Overstaying

    Hi all, Does anybody have any experience and/or advice for applying for a visa from within Argentina while overstaying/having an irregular migration status? I was recently given the advice that leaving the country and re-entering was not a good idea in the current environment due to the...

    Learning Spanish

    Which dialect you end up learning is probably going to come down to where you want to spend the majority of your time and who you're hanging out with. There's no right answer and no objectively "easier" dialect to learn than any other. As @FrankPintor pointed out, they all have their own...

    Learning Spanish

    Luckily, there is no language requirement to become an Argentine citizen. Argentine Spanish is very distinct from most other dialects of Spanish, for two main reasons: 1. The "sh" sound for the "ll" and "y", which is known as sheísmo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeísmo). It can be hard to...

    Legal Risks of Irregular Immigration Status

    Not sure if this is the best thread to add this comment on, but this seems semi-relevant... I have been told by an immigration lawyer that having an active 'irregular' immigration status (i.e. overstaying a visa) does not disqualify you from applying from other visas. The way it was explained...

    Leaving & Re-Entering on Different Passports

    Yep, no totally agree. This, I presume, is why they capture that biometric data too - it makes it a lot easier for the system to automatically match you. That would also be why I have never been asked for fingerprints or photos again having entered on both passports separately. My thought...

    Leaving & Re-Entering on Different Passports

    Hi all, thanks for all the responses. The fact that they capture biometric data about travellers had totally slipped my mind, so they would absolutely know that you are the same person since you will have the same name, same DOB, and same fingerprints irrespective of which passport you use...

    Leaving & Re-Entering on Different Passports

    Hi all, I have been staying here in Argentina since October 2024. I have left twice in that time, once to Chile for five days and once to Uruguay for about the same length of time. No issues coming back in either time - just the occasional question about where I am staying, why I am here, etc...
