New Residency Requirements from March 2019

[gracielle]

I believe Venezuelans today can apply for ARG residency either as immigrants or refugees depending on the current circumstances of the individual.
It will be up to ARG Migraciones to determine under which category their application may be accepted.

Sensible and practical.

No No No. Not sensible, Ben.

There has been cases of hard core Venezuelans criminals escaping to Ecuador and Colombia and creating a major crime situation. Obviously Ven. gives a damn. The jails are open and criminals are escaping to nearby countries.. We are lucky we are quite far, distance wise and ease of reach.

There was a case recently when a serial killer from Ven, killed several people in Guayaquil, Ecuador which resulted in a major manifestation of Ecuadorians demanding a ban on Ven immigration.

Hey all!

For those of you out there going through residency related processes.

From March 2019 onwards you'll need to show no crimes (antecedentes penales) committed in the last 10 years.

"From next Wednesday to reside in Argentina must prove 10 years without criminal records"

Fyi.

Good luck all! ;-)

I believe the previous requirement, the last 3 years, included a proviso about 'a place you lived for 1 year or more'. Will this also apply to the new 10 year requirement?

No idea, sorry ;=(

If you manage to find the answer, from a reputable source, please update this thread to help others though

If, as I believe, that the the new 10 year requirement is already in effect, you "should" be able to see if the 1 year provision is specified on the appropriate migraciones web page.

Looking but so far not finding the right page with that requirement.

Just finished renewing my residency a few months ago (for the 3rd year in a row without US background check this time). Next year I am eligible for permanent residency. I am from the States. Will I need to 'start from zero' and start all over again, please? This is worrying as this year's renewal was a huge undertaking to say the least (even with the help of a very experienced attorney!) Wow.

Look, if you're going to close the door on Venezuelans, make it official.

I am not going (or at least was not planning) to wade into the debate whether and at what point do nations have a moral obligation to accept refugees from failed states with devastating human conditions. Notwithstanding that these refugee populations may well have at least one criminal among them, even if the crime rate is substantially lower than that of the local population.

All I was saying was that requiring a criminal background check is effectively shutting out all Venezuelans for the forseeable future.

And once we are talking about the pros and cons of Venezuelan immigration, I will say what I know. A couple of friends who routinely hire unskilled labor, say that hands down, on balance Venezuelans rate far higher in terms of both honesty and work ethic than do Argentines. No comparison. All in blanco mind you.

Was this your third renewal or was it the third time you submitted paperwork to migraciones?

It has been my understanding (for more than a decade) that anyone with temporary residency can request the cambio de cagegoria to residencia permanente at the third renewal and that they must do so at the fourth.

As far as I know, when you ask for the upgrade to permanent residency you will have to submit the same paperwork that was required for the previous renewals, but you will have to wait longer for the cambio der categoris to be approved than you have for the renewals.

Based on what you wrote, it appears that you had to submit a new background check from the US for at least one previous renewal. Is that correct?

For the benefit off others who may be about too renew their temporary residency could you please explain why this year's renewal was a huge undertaking" and why you needed the "help of a very experienced attorney."
