Are there any Latin American countries open to immigrants?

Answer 1

A lot of Latin American countries are open to immigrants. You can enter latin american countries and find a job. The company, in most of the cases should solicit a working permit that is given (in the case of Guatemala) in 3 months the most. At the same time your temporal residency is given.
Central American countries are more open. Specially Guatemala and Panama. Costa Rica is very burocratic in immigration policies... so the procedure takes quite a long time.

Answer 2

I hope you are not one of those stupids anti-immigrants that think, I don't know why, that "Latin American countries shoot on their immigrants". Like any country, including the USA, Latin American countries have immigration rules. But let me give you an interesting fact. There are millons of Paraguayans, Bolivians and Peruvians in Argentina. They are poor immigrants, in search of better salaries. Guess what, if you're from any country of South America you don't need a visa to go to Argentina. In the borders there is no wall, nothing. To go from one country to another all you have to do is cross the border. In all South America is that way. In Ecuador lives one million Colombians as refugees, scaping from the guerrillas. Lots of Nicaraguans in Costa Rica too. Ok?

Answer 3

Many Latin American countries are open to immigrants-- if they can prove they are bringing income with them or if they invest in businesses that employ local people. For example Costa Rica and Panama will let retirees immigrate if they can prove a pension income of at least $600 a month or if you will deposit $60-$100 k in local banks or if you buy a business worth $100-$200k.

Answer 4

Probably the best way to get a resident visa in latin america is to get a job there. A lot of foreigner's teach english since many countries are in demand for native english speakers. Don't think that you are giong to go there and be hired just becase you're american or where ever you're from. You need to have a degree or at least a CELTA (or something equivalent) to prove you can actually teach english.

Answer 5

Probably the best country that has the best benefits for retired people is Panama http://www.vacationscostarica.com/panama/info/panama_retirement_benefits.htm
The country that has an opportunity in the future. Is Argentina but they must kiss the a¬€s of the world bankers, protect the isreli emabasy better and not elect anymore Arab presidents

Answer 6

You mean without obtaining a work visa? Colombia, Bolivia, Peru and Chile all require work or other visas for stays longer than around 2 or 3 months.

To honeypot:
Don't worry, there are plenty of American illegals teaching English in Latin and South America, but don't worry, they are white and they are educated.

Answer 7

There are, but their doors are opened out. Everybody is coming here (the U.S.) and wrecking our country and destroying our economy instead of staying home and improving their own country!

Answer 8

You'd be swimming upstream
