Venezuelan Argentines
Argentine citizens of Venezuelan descent / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Venezuelan Argentines (Spanish: venezolano-argentinos) are Argentine citizens of partial or full Venezuelan descent, or Venezuelan citizens who have migrated to and settled in Argentina. As of 2022, there are 272,000 Venezuelans living in Argentina,[6][1] most of whom migrated during the latter half of the 2010s as part of the Venezuelan refugee crisis.[2][7] The last census held in Argentina, in 2010, registered only 6,000 Venezuelan migrants living in the country.[8]

As of 2018, Venezuelans were the fourth-largest expat community in Argentina, behind Paraguayans, Bolivians and Chileans.[9] According to IOM figures, Argentina granted 170,223 residency permits to Venezuelan citizens alone from 2018 to 2020, nearly twice as many as to Paraguayan citizens.[10] This makes Venezuelans the fastest-growing expat community in the country.[11][12]
