I'd be more concerned if I had posted about how to stay under ARCA's radar and avoid paying taxes in Argentina than posting about going to their officees and asking in person about my tax liability and/or any forms that I was required to file (as opposed to taking anyone else's (including...

If the current government really wanted to get rid of a number of "undesirable" foreigners, regardless of what they might have ever said that could be considered anti-Argentine," one thing they could do is raise the monthly income reqirement for the visa rentista and the visa pensionada, from...

Please read this thread (especially post #15); Post in thread 'Help: Will I be denied entry to Argentina after ETA residency?' https://baexpats.org/threads/help-will-i-be-denied-entry-to-argentina-after-eta-residency.49962/post-470457

You can search the internet for "well known Argentine lawyers who specialize in residency for foreigners who want to start a business in Argentina." As others have indicated, it appears that you will have to actually apply through an Argentine consulate.

I don't know if it's different for Mercosur residents than residents of other "visa free" countries, but I don't think that migraciones gives anyone more than a 90 day entry permit which may be extended once for 90 days at the office of migraciones. This is exactly what I did the first (and...

You might be able to pull it off by doing tthis: Self fund an irrevecocable trust with enough funds to satisfy the monthly income reqirement for at least one year (two may be much better). The trust document will show you as the trustor and the beneficiary. Name a trusted friend as the trustee...

Earlier this evening I asked Google AI "Are There any well known lawyers in Argentina who specialize in citizenship for foreigners without a DNI or residency of legal status with migraciones." The answer was far more detailed than I expected and I did not detect any factual errors when I read...

I actually have personal experience with the citizenship processes in the Federal Court. At the time, a lawyer was not required and I was guided through the process step by step by the court itself after applying in person without a lawyer. It is still possible to apply for citizenship at a...

Perhaps the "75" in the later answer is a good example of the potential errors in AI answers. It looks like 70 is the threshold. If not, the application will be rejected at the start.

OK Just want to note here that the last post I made included this "10 years of residency: Required for foreign nationals over 75 years old seeking basic identity and domicile registration for direct ⁠PAMI Affiliation for Older Adults." I believe that this is the first time that the age of...

So, I just asked Google AI again about the rules which apply to foreigners to be eligible for PAMI and recieved this reply: "A foreigner in Argentina becomes eligible for PAMI coverage either automatically through a local contributory retirement, or by meeting specific age and non-contributory...

If this is accurate, and 20 years of "legal residency" includes both temporary and permanent residency, then I won't be eligible for PAMI until October 23rd, 2026. If 20 years of permanent residency is required, then I would have to wait three more years before I would be able to apply, but I...

PAMI has been discussed here in at least two threads since 2017. Here are the two threads with "PAMI" in the titles: Thread 'PAMI for permanant resident?' https://baexpats.org/threads/pami-for-permanant-resident.41228/ Thread 'Does Anybody Have / Use This Pami Thing?'...

According to Google AI... "To enroll in PAMI as a person over 70 without a pension, you need your DNI, a CUIL/CUIT proof, and ANSES non-benefit certification. Required DocumentsDNI (National Identity Document) with your current address. If you are over 75, older booklet-style IDs (Libreta...
