Horizons can help you simplify this stage of your Argentina expansion by offering tailored benefit management outsourcing.

With Horizons, you get quick service, transparent pricing, and expert support.
An Argentina PEO and an Argentina EOR are two types of companies which specialize in providing human resources services to businesses in Argentina.
The main difference between an Argentina PEO and an Argentina EOR is in the scope of their services.
Argentina PEOs provide a full range of HR services, including payroll, benefits administration, and employee recruiting—all under one roof as a co-employer. Engaging an Argentina PEO is essentially outsourcing your HR duties in Argentina.
Argentina EORs actually take over as the legal employer of your employees based abroad. Argentina EORs become responsible for labor compliance for your employees in Argentina.
At Horizons, we offer both PEO and EOR services in Argentina. Get in touch now and let us know what service you are seeking.
A PEO in Argentina can feasibly hire both local and foreign nationals to work in Argentina.
However, the ability of Horizons to sponsor your foreign national employee in Argentina may be limited due to visa quotas practiced in many countries.
Contact us with your requirements and our Global Mobility team with review the case and get back to you within 2 business days.
In most cases, Horizons’ Argentina PEO can hire & onboard your employee within 24 hours. The actual start date of the employee will depend on their notice period obligation to their previous employer as well as any relevant hiring rules in Argentina.
It is possible to get a work visa in Argentina. Horizons’ Global Mobility team is a dedicated team of work visa experts. They assess the details of each case to determine feasibility and costs before Horizons applies for the work visa on behalf of your employee. If the Global Mobility team determines that your case is feasible, the process is smooth and transparent. Visa spots in Argentina are limited, however—get started today to secure your employees’ visa spot.
