The IGM also publishes these temporary residencies: self-employed worker (notarial record of activities plus RTU registration; US$200/300/500 for 1, 2 or 3–5 years); student (enrollment or acceptance letter plus proof of means; US$100 per authorized year); artists and athletes (contract and contracting guarantor; US$200/300/500); intellectuals, researchers and scientists (contract plus institutional guarantor; US$200/300/500); and ministers of religion (letter from the highest religious authority; US$50 as a one-off payment). All require the general documents and the US$25 application fee.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

Caveat

the student (US$100) and minister-of-religion (US$50) fees were not covered by the spot audit

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
