The Program grants an entry permit and temporary visa in the subcategory of humanitarian reasons provided for in article 23, subparagraph m) of Law No. 25,871, with an authorized period of stay of three years which, upon completion, will allow the beneficiaries to change their temporary residence into a permanent one.
The beneficiaries are summoned and received by a civil society sponsor who certifies the commitment to provide accommodation and maintenance for a term of TWELVE (12) months, without profit, accompanying the process of integration and self-sufficiency of the migrant in the country. Also the target population reaches internally and cross-border displaced persons, whether they have a regular immigration status or not.
