Got deported

[devilclam]

Curious because I plan to be here for 2 years. If you had for example took a weekend trip to Chile every 80days and returned to Buenos Aires could this have been avoided?
Or is there a limit to this as well? And if so does anyone know what that limit is?

If you fly KLM round trip to Chile, just know that they require you to have an outbound flight from Argentina.

I was at the gate and my seat disappeared on the app and I had to quickly buy my upcoming flight to the US earlier than I intended simply to satisfy their requirements and get my seat back.

Could you kindly point me in the direction of the document which states exactly what this gets you, as a foreigner?

I’ve searched high and low, and cannot see anything that says that you can gain residency this way.

However, I have heard this from multiple sources now…

Many thanks!

Apologies, I can’t figure out how to edit my original reply…

Thank you once again for this, and as I said, your original message is not the first time that I’ve seen someone recommend the ‘Unión Civil Convivencial’.

However, I do have one doubt still. The link states that you must be a spouse (cónyuge) to apply with your partner. As I understand, only getting married would make this a viable option, as a result.

I wonder if you (or indeed anyone else ready) has had or has heard first-hand of someone with experience in achieving residency with the Unión Civil Convivencial?

Many thanks again!

In Argentina it is possible to obtain permanent residency through the registration of a civil union, provided certain requirements established by Dirección Nacional de Migraciones) are met.

A civil union is a legal figure recognized by the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code, which allows unmarried couples to formally register their cohabitation.
To be valid, the couple must:

Be of legal age.
Not be related in a direct blood line or be siblings.
Not be married or already in another registered civil union.
Have lived together for at least two years, unless they have children together.
The registration must be carried out at the Civil Registry corresponding to the couple's place of residence.

Requirements to apply for permanent residency
If you are a foreigner and your partner is an Argentine citizen (either native-born or naturalized) or a permanent resident in Argentina, you can apply for permanent residency by submitting:

A certified copy of the registered civil union.
The DNI (national ID) of the Argentine citizen or permanent resident (the sponsor).
A police clearance certificate from Argentina and from your country of origin or any country where you have lived in the past three years (for those over 16 years old).
Proof of legal entry into the country.
Proof of residence in Argentina.

You must start the process through the RADEX platform.

Importance of the civil union registration
Resolution 4880/2015 from Migraciones ( google it ) recognizes registered civil unions with similar legal effects to marriage for immigration purposes.
This means that once registered, a civil union allows the foreign partner to access similar immigration benefits as a spouse.

Firstly, thank you ever so much for your response. It is most helpful.

In your post it reads ‘civil union’ only. Could you kindly confirm whether this information refers to the Unión Civil Convivencial?

I/we can comply with all of the requirements. My only doubt is regarding the ‘proof of legal residence in Argentina’. We have a (recently renewed) rental contract, do you know whether that would be constituted as being a ‘legal residence’? I am concerned it perhaps refers to the legality of my stay here (I am currently overstaying).

Finally, could you kindly share the source of that information? Although I speak fluent Spanish, I could not find it. Or perhaps I simply didn’t look hard enough!

I will indeed google that. Thank you again ever so much.

Thank you so much again! I think I’ve got the grasp of it now.

I wonder, finally, have you any idea if the witnesses need to have known you for the whole relationship? The date from which we have known the witnesses is asked for.

Most of those who have known us our whole relationship are family members of my girlfriend, and so cannot be used.
