Key features

Departure to the countries of South America for permanent residence has its own characteristics, which differ depending on the specific jurisdiction and local legislation of the South American state.

When choosing South America as a destination for immigration, the following aspects should be considered:

1. Foreigners are allowed to stay three to six months a year in the South American country. If you want to stay longer, you need to get a student visa, work visa or consider immigration by investment.
2. The presence of a residence permit does not give the right to official employment; in addition, foreigners apply for a work visa or permanent residence.
3. The most common way for foreigners to obtain a residence permit in South America — buying property or starting a business. This investment entitles you to a temporary residence permit, which must be renewed every 1-2 years.
4. Before applying for a work visa, a work invitation or employment contract signed by the potential employer is required. A work permit is usually issued for a period of one to three years and can be renewed.
5. Student visas are available for foreigners who intend to study at a high school or university. Student visas are usually issued for a period of one year, but can be extended.
6. In most countries in South America, foreigners are allowed to buy property, but this does not automatically entitle them to a residence permit.
