Paid work for a person or company based in Argentina needs a specific exception or permission; otherwise it can put your stay at risk.
Your stay can end
Your stay ends on expiry; leave or arrange another lawful stay, or you will need separate exit permission.
Argentina can cancel it for fraud, false documents, hidden criminal records, qualifying convictions, helping illegal migration or certain extradition outcomes.
Abandoning its purpose or conditions, hate messages or incitement, or insults to national symbols can also lead to cancellation and removal.
