| Government fees | DNM's fee table lists temporary residence at 50 UMSM for MERCOSUR/associated-state applicants and 100 UMSM for extra-MERCOSUR applicants. At 1 UMSM = ARS 1,000, that is ARS 50,000 or ARS 100,000, before separate document or service costs.As of 2026-10-09Source 1 |

| Processing time | The current DNM procedure does not promise a universal end-to-end processing SLA; timing depends on complete documentation, employer registration compliance and case review. The employer's 30-day registration step is not a DNM decision deadline.As of 2026-10-09Source 1 |
|---|
| Validity | This is temporary residence under the migrant-worker category. DNM's public service page does not state one universal validity term for every individual grant; check the approved residence instrument and current rules.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |
|---|
| Renewal | Renewal is available under DNM's migrant-worker renewal procedure while the applicant continues to satisfy the category. DNM's FAQ says temporary-residence renewal should be filed within 60 days before expiry; a filing within 30 days after expiry incurs a 50% surcharge, and later filing rights lapse.As of 2026-10-09Source 1 |

| Family inclusion | Defined family members may apply for separate family-reunification residence linked to a temporary resident. Each family member needs the appropriate individual application; the worker's permit does not itself regularize accompanying relatives.As of 2026-10-09Source 1 |

| Spouse work rights | A spouse with their own qualifying temporary residence may undertake remunerated or lucrative activity under Article 51, subject to applicable labour, tax and registration rules; the spouse must obtain their own status.As of 2026-10-09Source 1 |

|---|
| Application location | File through DNM's RaDEX remote residence system, upload the required documents and pay the fees; when eligible, the applicant receives an in-person appointment. The employer must satisfy RENURE and related registration requirements.As of 2026-10-09Source 1 |
