Introduction

This report provides a comparative analysis of immigration policies for Indian citizens in Argentina and other South American countries. It examines the legal framework, visa requirements, application processes, residency requirements, and pathways to citizenship for Indian citizens across the continent. The report also considers specific agreements or treaties between India and South American countries that affect immigration policies and explores the economic and social conditions in these countries that may influence immigration decisions.

South American Countries

South America, the fourth-largest continent globally 1, comprises twelve sovereign states: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, and Venezuela. It also includes two dependent territories (the Falkland Islands and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands) and one internal territory (French Guiana). This report focuses on the twelve sovereign states.

Immigration Policies in Argentina

Visa Requirements and Application Process

Indian citizens need a visa to enter Argentina 2. While Argentina does not offer visa-on-arrival for Indian citizens, those with a valid US B1/B2 visa with at least six months of validity can apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) for tourist purposes 2. For other visa categories, such as business or work visas, Indian citizens must apply at the Argentine Embassy or Consulate in New Delhi.

The visa application process generally requires a valid passport, recent photographs, a completed application form, travel itinerary, proof of accommodation, financial documentation, and an interview with a consular officer 3.

Residency Requirements and Pathways to Citizenship

Argentina offers temporary residency permits that allow Indian citizens to stay in the country for more than 90 days 4. After two years of living in Argentina, Indian citizens can apply for permanent residency 4. Notably, Argentina allows dual citizenship, meaning Indian citizens can retain their Indian nationality while acquiring Argentine citizenship 5.

Specific Agreements or Treaties with India

Argentina and India have a long-standing agreement for visa fee exemption for tourists and those in transit 6. This agreement, signed in 1968, facilitates travel between the two countries for tourism and transit purposes.
