A residence permit in Argentina can be obtained as an option through the support of refugees by the country. Argentine Republic acceded to the Refugee Convention more than fifty years ago, and since then thousands of people have taken advantage of it.
Submission of documents for registration of refugee status gives an immigrant the right to obtain visa precaria for the time until the decision on refugee status will be taken. With a visa "Precaria" the immigrant can lawfully stay in the country, move freely within Argentina and work legally.
If the immigrant is recognized as a refugee officially, he obtains a residence permit in Argentina for three years, as well as a temporary passport. The refugee can open a business, invite his relatives, practice any religion and sue, and his children can study for free in elementary schools. The refugee can not be deported from Argentina, and he can go home under the protection of the agency for the rights of refugees protection (UNHCR).
With the refugee status an immigrant receives international documents and can visit most of the countries of Latin America and Europe without a visa (for a period of three to six months).
Besides drawing-up of documents and possibility to get a job, an immigrant can receive financial assistance in the first four months of stay in the country. The assistance is provided by the FCCAM organization, but only on a voluntary basis. The refugees also learn Spanish for free, several municipal hospitals provide free assistance and the company Madre Tierra allocates land plots for housing construction, but only when there are vacant plots.

The documents for registration of refugee status should be submitted in Spanish, which is done better with the translator. There is a panel of translators in Buenos Aires that translates information for immigrants for free.

One can become a refugee because of racial discrimination, religious world views, but also because of social and political persecution.
