Attend congresses, fairs, and perform technical, scientific, or artistic work for up to 30 days with work authorization for the stated activity.
Argentina's Technical and Professional Activities Visa enables international experts to enter for specific projects lasting up to 30 days per grant. Governed by Migration Law No. 25.871, it bridges tourist visas (no work) and permanent work permits. You'll need a sponsor and proof of specialized expertise unavailable locally; stays beyond 30 days require a separate transitory visa from DNM.
Work is limited to your stated professional, technical, scientific, or artistic activity—general employment is prohibited. Standard fee is USD 200. Spouses and dependents are not included; they require separate visa applications. Processing takes 2–4 weeks.
This visa is ideal for independent consultants, researchers, and artists conducting short-term specialized work in Argentina.
