The benefits of having a Mercosur passport
The Southern Common Market, also known as Mercosur, is a regional trading bloc consisting of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Venezuela (although Venezuela is currently suspended). If you have a passport from one of these countries, you have a Mercosur passport. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of having a Mercosur passport and how it can be useful in your international travels.
Travel without a visa to several Latin American countries
One of the most important advantages of having a Mercosur passport is that you can travel visa-free to several Latin American countries. These countries include Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Suriname and Guyana. This means you can visit these countries for tourism, business or study without needing to apply for a visa, which can be an expensive and time-consuming process.
Ease of residing and working in other Mercosur countries
If you have a Mercosur passport, you can live and work in any country in the bloc without having to obtain a work visa. This can be especially useful if you are looking for job opportunities in another Latin American country. Additionally, you can enroll in universities and access public services such as healthcare and social security in any Mercosur country.
Dual citizenship
If you have a Mercosur passport, you can obtain citizenship of another country in the bloc without losing your original citizenship. This means that you can have dual citizenship and have access to the rights and benefits of both countries. Additionally, if you have family in another Mercosur country, having dual citizenship can make it easier to visit them and maintain a connection to your cultural roots.
consular protection
If you have a Mercosur passport and are in a country where your home country does not have an embassy or consulate, you can seek consular protection at the embassy or consulate of another Mercosur country. This is because Mercosur countries have agreements to provide consular support to citizens of other countries in the bloc in the event of emergencies or crisis situations.
In conclusion, having a Mercosur passport can provide many benefits for those traveling through Latin America or wishing to live and work in another country in the bloc. From visa-free travel to several Latin American countries to having access to shorter lines at Customs.
