Venezuelan Migrants in Argentina: A Path to Regularization
In recent years, Venezuela has been facing a severe economic and political crisis, leading to a massive exodus of its citizens seeking refuge in neighboring countries. Argentina, in particular, has become a popular destination for Venezuelan migrants. According to a report by BA Times, Venezuelans now make up the third-largest immigrant community in Argentina, accounting for nearly 8.4% of foreign-born residents [[1]].
The Argentine government has taken measures to facilitate the entry and regularization of Venezuelan migrants whose documents have expired. Following the closure of the Venezuelan Consulate in Buenos Aires, the National Directorate of Migration (DNM) approved a Special Regime for Migratory Regularization for Natives of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. This new regulation will come into effect within 10 days and allows Venezuelans to enter Argentina for a renewable period of 90 days, even with expired identity cards or passports, as long as they have not expired more than 10 years ago.
Furthermore, Venezuelan children under 9 years of age are permitted to enter the country with a birth certificate, if they do not have Venezuelan documentation. The regulation relaxes the requirements for filing, such as the validity of documents or the need for an apostille. This move is expected to provide relief to thousands of Venezuelan migrants who have been living in Argentina with expired documents.
Research has shown that many Venezuelan professionals have been able to find employment in informal or precarious sectors in Argentina [[2]]. However, with this new regulation, they may have access to better job opportunities and a more stable future.
In addition to this, Argentina has been ramping up pressure on Venezuela to grant safe passage to six opposition aides who had sought refuge in its embassy in Caracas [[3]]. This development highlights the complex diplomatic relations between the two countries and the challenges faced by Venezuelan migrants in Argentina.
Argentina’s decision to facilitate the entry and regularization of Venezuelan migrants is a significant step towards providing a sense of stability and security for thousands of people who have been displaced by the crisis in their home country. As the situation in Venezuela continues to unfold, it is likely that more Venezuelans will seek refuge in Argentina and other neighboring countries, and it is essential that governments take a humanitarian approach to address the needs of these migrants.
