Got the DNI, about 6 weeks after being granted temporary residency. Took 5 weeks for Renaper to process, and then I could follow it going through Correo Argentina. They updated the status today, saying they went to my home and it was 'closed'. I was there but knew this was likely going to...

No. I'm in CABA (city of Buenos Aires).

Or your situation is unique, or it depends on the Province. I started my application in April and got a temporary visa (family reunification) in July. No interview, no questions asked, no visits. Just one meeting at Migraciones to show all the documents and let them take my biometrics. At least...

Since today, my first DNI has that same status. I will give it a few weeks, and then, if not arrived by post, will contact Renaper by e-mail. I'll give an update when relevant.

Ouch, that is a nightmare scenario for me. Renewal of my (first) precaria went smoothly and quickly, and not too long after that I got temp residency granted for 24 months. Now waiting for my (first) DNI..... I will need it in time for being able to ship boxes and furniture from Holland without...

Also an update here :): I got my application approved! It's faster than I expected, all in all took like 3,5 months only. Now waiting for the DNI (they will send by post). What surprises me even more: I got a temporary residence for 24 months. I expected 12 (and then to renew it).

".....of whatever the apartment's value is calculated to be": in fact this is the fiscal value (Valuación Fiscal Homogénea). In general it's much much lower than the actual value.

Precaria renewed within one week after asking for it. 3 weeks ago at the airport Migraciones told me they were grossly understaffed, but this was processed fast and efficient.

My application started nearly 3 months ago. Status hasn't changed since then (trámite en proceso de supervision = step 7). I have just asked for a renewal of my precaria since it's only 3 month valid, but still see the first version of the document which expires soon. If that doesn't change in...

Hi! Not that I remember. Radex might have problems now and then, at least I remember I have read something like that. Are you in Argentina?

Hi rdino. This depends on the kind of visa you will ask for. For family reunification, they didn't ask for my birth certificate. What they did ask for was the apostilled police/criminal check and - in my case - an apostilled marriage certificate. All documents in foreign languages I had...

On an additional note, regarding the risk of exchange rates. My thoughts on these are that the thresholds ARCA uses are regularly updated for inflation. If the peso weakens more than inflation, it might create/increase taxes on a euro based pension. But I guess this will be (maybe more than)...

Thanks for your additional remarks, Alby! You make me realise not to only focus on the current situation but also think about the possible effects and risks of changing policies and exchange rates. I will take my time to look into this, probably will calculate some scenarios.

I am used to comply in the Netherlands situation, to me its logical when you enjoy the facilities of the country you're living in. Apart from that, I am quite amazed to read now and then that foreigners that reside here in Argentina on a visa seem to take the risk to try to escape taxation...

Thanks Alby! That looks like a tax break of approximately 1,5 years in total, since I expect that taxation in Holland will retroactively stop at emigration date. I don't know if this special deduction (quite an amount as I read) will be applicable. Nevertheless, I expect I can apply some...
