E. Peter Mc. Lean, Financer Visa September 2005
My experience with ARCA in obtaining my Residency Visa was beyond outstanding. From my first introduction to Lorena Gallardo by telephone from the United States, to our initial meeting in Buenos Aries and the subsequent advice provided throughout the processing of documents, I was given highly professional service and the entire process was made quite easy. I have recommended your services to several potential clients and will be happy to endorse ARCA in the future.
Taylor A. Selden, Financer Visa December 2004
I wanted to thank you and ARCA for doing such a great job with my visa.
Until I found ARCA, I was beginning to think it would never be approved.
Studying Spanish here and living in Argentina is something I’d wanted to
do for a very long time – ever since I visited for the first time.
With the amount of time it was taking and the mountain of paperwork
they kept requesting, I was beginning to think that Argentina really
didn’t want students coming there or something.
I’m not in the habit of writing letters to service providers, but I
was really impressed with all the things you all did to help me get settled here.
Thank you for helping me find a place to live – the apartment is great.
I hope I could ask you and all the folks from ARCA out to lunch next year
and hopefully we’ll be able to speak in Spanish.
GeoDesign, Inc, Work Permits - Period: 2001 - 2008
It is with great pleasure and without reservation that I offer you
GeoDesign’s reference and endorsement of ARCA’s Visa and relocation
services. I was completely satisfied with the job ARCA did for our
Company and our employees. One of the biggest challenges we faced when
expanding abroad was finding employee willing to take on a foreign assignment.
By helping our employees with all their government formalities, moving their
personal belongings and finding them housing, you’ve helped us make the
entire process easier on our people, and thus, easier on us. We will,
of course, be using ARCA in the future for any of our further Argentina
visa/relocation needs. You may share this letter with anyone who would
like to hear from a satisfied ARCA client. You may also share my email
address with a potential client of they have any specific question
they would like to ask. Regards,
LORRI SELDEN
John M. C. O'Brien, Financer Visa December 2011
It isn’t that often that I write a letter of thanks for services rendered, but in the case of ARCA I strongly feel an exception needs to be made. Moving overseas is never an easy experience, even when you have done it a number of times before. Not least of the difficulties is sorting out the formalities and bureaucracy of obtaining a residence visa. Finding ARCA to do this work for us really took a load from my mind. Thanks to your assistance and good contacts with the Migration Department, our applications were processed quickly and we now have visas in our passports ready for when we arrive in Argentina. We look forward to working with you again in the future when the time for renewal arrives.

Hello Mrs. Lorena and Mr. Matias, I am in Manaus now. Thank you very much
for your support and kindness in Buenos Aires. I greatly appreciate your
contact in the Brazilian Consulate to cut down the process to 2 working days.
I could arrive in Manaus on schedule.
No doubt, should I need a visa expert again, I will certainly contact you. All the best.

I found Lorena to be both diligent and hard working. She always has an encouraging attitude with a happy demeanor. I look forward to working with her again.

I'm an Argentina permanent resident today thanks to the hard and excellent work of Lorena. She is tough. She is focused. She knows that she is doing. Anyone who hires Lorena is very fortunate. You will truly get value for money with her work!
Terry & Liesbeth Bennett - Retiree Visa October 2018
Our experience with ARCA was simply outstanding. Lorena is a wonderful individual who was always easy to approach and provided us with great guidance throughout our visa application process. I would definitely recommend using this firm's services as the whole process was hassle free and also great value for money. And the best of all: Lorena became a very close friend... We adore her!
