If your pension income (with or without any other income you may have) exceeds the minimum threshold (which will change over time) for the ganancias tax, once you become a tax resident in Argentina (which you will do after completing 12 months temporary residency in the category of...

I was advised once by an immigration lawyer not to try this trick.

Where the foreigner has a complex situation, significant overseas assets in play, and therefore significant risks to assess and manage, a tax lawyer is a very good place to go. For the nitty gritty of presenting tax returns and declarations that arise after the risks have been assessed, the...

It is very hard to get an Argentine tax discussion going on this forum, even though you would think it would be one of the biggest and first issues foreigners seeking to come and live here would want to consider. Instead, there is a lot of denial and wishing the problem away based on anecdotes...

Unfortunately, you are probably months away from having a physical DNI in your hand. The approval of your residency, if they approve it, could take a long time. Then, delivery of the piece of plastic is a sepárate process that can take weeks.
