  "bluf": "Argentina's Ley de Migraciones No. 25.871 (2004), regulated by Decreto 616/2010, establishes one of Latin America's most comprehensive migrant rights frameworks, recognising migration as a human right (Articulo 4). The Direccion Nacional de Migraciones (DNM) under the Ministerio del Interior administers entry, residence, and regularisation. Argentina offers Temporary Residence (Residencia Temporaria) for workers, students, retirees, and investors, and Permanent Residence (Residencia Permanente) after 2 years temporary or by MERCOSUR/UNASUR facilitation. MERCOSUR nationals (Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname) obtain 2-year facilitated residence under the Acuerdo de Residencia MERCOSUR (2002). Argentina introduced a Remote Worker Visa (Nomada Digital) via Disposicion DNM 4334/2022 for freelancers earning from abroad. The Patria Grande Programme has regularised hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants. Venezuela crisis response: Argentina has issued over 120,000 temporary residencies to Venezuelans under humanitarian grounds. Overstay is an administrative infraction, not a criminal offence (Article 94).",
