  • VISA CATEGORY INFORMATION

This type of visa is intended for foreigners who hold a contract of employment in Argentina for a period of at least one year, or are employed by a foreign company transferred from a local subsidiary to Argentina. 

Applications for these type of visas may be started either by the Argentine-based company at Dirección Nacional de Migraciones (DNM) in Argentina, or by the applicant at the Consulate General. 

Applications submitted directly to the Consulate General require further verifications with DNM prior to issuing the visas, which may take several weeks or even months. 

If the process starts in Argentina an entry permit must be requested by the future employer to DNM. When the application is authorised, the DNM uploads the entry permit to the visa system. Once the applicants know that the entry permit procedure has been completed, only then can they contact the Consulate General to book an appointment.

  • VISA VALIDITY

NAHUEL HUAPI NATIONAL PARK

Nahuel Huapi National Park is the oldest national park in Argentina, established in 1934. It surrounds Nahuel Huapi Lake in the foothills of the Patagonian Andes. The largest of the national parks in the region, it has an area of 7,050 km2, or nearly 2 million acres. Its landscapes represent the north Patagonian Andean Zone consisting of three types, namely, the Altoandino (with perpetual snow above an altitude of 1,600 metres), the Andino-Patagónico (in the lower reaches of the hills) and the Patagonian steppe. It also represents small parts of the Valdivian Rainforest. The park and the reserve lie at an altitude of 720–3,574 metres, and are designated under IUCN management categories II (National Park) and IV (Management Reserve). The park is completely protected while the reserve is partially protected. The national park is dominated by the high mountain chain of the Andes, many lakes, rapid rivers, waterfalls, snow-clad peaks, glaciers and extensive forests. It is bordered by Chile on its western side. The earliest discovery of Nahuel Huapi by the non-indigenous peoples is linked to the conquest of Chile. In the summer of 1552–1553, the Governor of Chile Pedro de Valdivia sent Francisco de Villagra to explore the area east of the Andes at the latitudes of the city of Valdivia. Francisco de Villagra crossed the Andes through Mamuil Malal Pass and headed south until reaching Limay River in the vicinity of Nahuel Huapi Lake.
