Action task

Start the right residence application

Use the filing channel for your route and whether you are inside or outside Argentina. Keep the receipt and appointment messages.

Before you start

A plausible category and its required documents. If outside Argentina, use the entry-permit or consular procedure instead.

Check the options before starting

Steps

  1. Open the residence comparison and choose a route to investigate; read its exact official procedure before paying.
  2. For ordinary in-country residence, open official RaDEX while physically in Argentina. Keep proof of lawful entry and use an email you check regularly.
  3. Follow the portal’s data/payment and document-upload stages. Argentine criminal-record requests are integrated for the ordinary procedures that specify this.
  4. Keep your submission and payment receipts. Monitor email and spam for the in-person appointment and document requests. If using a digital-nomad route, follow its separate procedure.
  5. Record your current permission expiry and any stated renewal window. Filing or paying is not the residence decision.

How to know you are done

The correct channel is identified, required documents are submitted where appropriate, and receipts, follow-up messages and deadlines are recorded. This mark does not mean approval.

Change note: Added a bounded preparation summary from the official source; recheck the current procedure before filing.

Applies when: An ordinary residence application made while inside Argentina.

What remains uncertain: RaDEX is not the pre-entry route and is not used for every special category. Submission and payment do not prove approval.

Get case-specific review when: Your facts do not fit the stated category, documents conflict, or a deadline or refusal is involved.

Residencias

Argentina's migration authority distinguishes transitory, temporary, and permanent residence. Its current guidance says transitory residence does not enable a DNI, while temporary and permanent residence enable the corresponding DNI.
