Where and how to apply

The entry permits page states that the permit authorizes the entry and stay of foreign nationals residing abroad, and that once the permit has been issued, the visa is processed by the Argentine consulate. Submission may be made at the headquarters of the Dirección Nacional de Migraciones and at its regional offices; the application is presented by the applicant, and a representative may file at the headquarters.

The portal presents a remote online submission for radicaciones (residence filings) and entry procedures, as well as a system named "Tramitación de Ingreso Electrónica - TIE 24H". In-person appointments are announced for residence permits, certifications and the national identity document for foreign nationals.
