Students from state-recognized establishments

If you are a holder of a residence permit of this subcategory, you are allowed to engage in lawful paid activities for up to 30 hours per week, without requiring additional authorization to do so.

These activities may be performed in the educational institution where you are studying, or for another employer or contractor, following the general rules that apply according to the contractual relationship in question.

In the event of engaging in this type of activity, you must inform SERMIG, attaching a copy of the contract in question. Under no circumstances shall the work performed in these paid activities be sufficient justification for the loss of student status, unless the 30-hour maximum is exceeded.

If you wish to apply for an extension of this subcategory of the Residencia Temporal permit, you must submit the documentation that certifies that you are still studying, at the date of the application, at the same program that gave rise to the granting of the original permit. Likewise, you must submit documents that prove the financial means with which you will be able to cover your stay in the country.

Your permit may be revoked if you have lost your status as a regular student, notwithstanding the situations of unforeseeable circumstances or force majeure. The latter may be asserted in the administrative revocation procedure, and their weighting must be justified and resolved by SERMIG in the act that completes the procedure.

Yes, you may be granted a Residencia Temporal permit as a dependent of the holder of this immigration subcategory, if your condition is included in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 74 of Law No. 21.325.
