Residency

Family Relocation to Argentina: Immigration Guide for Families

A practical guide for families relocating to Argentina — visas, schools, healthcare and logistics.

May 24, 2026

Family Residency Applications

Families relocating to Argentina can apply for residency together under the family reunification category if one member qualifies for an individual category (investor, pensionado, rentista, etc.). Spouses and minor children of qualifying applicants are entitled to residency in their own right. The Roffo team coordinates simultaneous applications for the entire family unit to minimize timeline and cost.

Schooling and Healthcare

Buenos Aires has a strong network of international schools — including bilingual Spanish-English, German, French, British and American curricula — at tuition levels well below equivalent schools in North America or Europe. The Argentine public healthcare system (PAMI for residents over 65) and private prepaga insurance plans are accessible once you have a DNI.

Making the Move

Beyond the legal and immigration process, relocating a family requires logistics: shipping belongings, finding housing, setting up banking, and orienting children to a new country. Roffo's relocation advisory service accompanies families through every practical dimension of the move — not just the paperwork.
