So I'm here as a tourist and I want to bring in my ex-girlfriend so that she can see what the country is like and look for jobs and/or a graduate degree at a university. She holds a Cuban passport so she needs a visa to come here, even as a regular 90-day tourist. (Cubans need visas to go practically anywhere in the world as tourists.) Duration of her stay will be about two weeks--there is no intention of perma-touristing. I plan to take care of all of her expenses while here, along with the plane ticket.
Visa requirements listed on the Argentine Havana embassy's website list requirements like a letter of invitation "de persona física radicada en la República Argentina" with a statement of responsibility for the applicant and copy of DNI, along with proof of an amount equal to US$50 for each day of her stay in a Cuban bank account in her name, which she doesn't have. (See http://ecuba.mrecic.gov.ar/es/node/1390 .) There are other short-term visa categories such as a business visitor, which requires a letter of invitation from a company registered with DNM to hire foreigners.
I'm not sure how I can pull off any of these visa categories given that I don't have any formal residency here. The statement of responsibility looks onerous enough that I can't just ask someone to issue that letter of invitation for me. I'm thinking there must be people (immigration attorneys or otherwise) who can set something up for me.
Anyone have any ideas?
