Immigration changes: Health, Education, Deportation

[steveinbsas]

I had a 2-year absence during COVID and a few one-year absences mixed in the 10 years I've had permanent residency.

I wonder if there is real enforcement, will they just refuse to renew the DNI, make you enter as a tourist, or will it turn out like the USA is at the moment, where they pull you off the street or out of your home to deport you.

What anyone with permanent residency did in the past won't matter, but going forward, depending on the conditions of the decree as it implemented, I think those with permanent residency should not leave Argentina for more than one year and that individuales who were granted temporary residency less than six months ago should stay in the country until they surpass the six month mark, at least for the time being.

If they already left and returned and still can accumulate a total of six months in Argentina prior to thier renewal date, they might (and hopefully will) be OK, but who can know for sure until they have (or someone else already has) tried to renew their temporary residency?

I do wonder will happen if the renewal is denied. I don't think the foreigner will be arrested at migraciones and deported as soon as possible, but that the foreigner could be told to leave the country on or before the expiration date of their temporary residency.
