Thanks for the tip. Very useful information for those of us who have to use them each, given that timing can be everything with getting information to Migraciones.

It's irrelevant. To obtain the Rentista category, you have to disclose chapter and verse your assets. The Argentine government doesn't need to get the information from another government. It just needs to get it from itself.

I've written alot about it. Quilombo's written alot about it. Irelanda's posted an excellent analysis of it. Antipodean too. Others have posted. None of us are accountants, but we can read and have common sense. There's plenty to get you started. There's no one clear answer. It comes down to...

Do some heavy duty searching on this website. There is a wealth (pun intended) of information on tax obligations generally, and the bienes personales (wealth) tax more specifically. Some accountants have been recommended. Many people argue that the "intention" of the tax is not to target...

You are right to be concerned. It's an issue, particularly in the immigration category you are looking at. Controversial on this website. Again, spend some time digging around here. There are plenty of threads dating back to January 2020, when the law changed. You will need an accountant...

Simplifying greatly, but to answer your question in the broad terms you present it, you can apply for a temporary (12-month) residency as a "Rentista" if you can demonstrate to the Argentine authorities you have passive income from investments that pay you in the vicinity of (currently) US$1,800...

There are plenty of Russians and Ukrainians here now. Many seem to have money. Some probably speak English. Quite a few no doubt are dealing with stuff.

In Buenos Aires, it's abnormal not to have a therapist. Why not target the English-speaking non-expats (otherwise known as locals or Porteños)? That's a much bigger market.

Isn't that part of the point? Mass negation. We've seen it on an individual level when people around us find themselves in serious and inescapable trouble yet carry on with their daily lives, losing themselves in trusted routines as if nothing has or is about to change. What would happen if the...

It's worth pointing out that radiation from the atomic war did not, in the end, obliterate the inhabitants of my home town, as this video, visiting the locations today where the scenes were shot from January to March of '59, shows. Ava Gardner reportedly said of Melbourne that she had come...

See this thread. It is a recent update to the regulations that Bajo drew our attention to a couple of weeks ago. You have to click on the link in the first message in the thread and scroll down to see the new regulation. There it explains that from now on the rate is "5 X the minimum monthly...

My own direct experience of obtaining this residency (with an extremely straightforward and properly documented case of passive income), reported various times on these pages. It took nearly three years to obtain a one-year temporary residency: 11 precaria renewals. Eventually unstuck by a...

Did they give the dog 90 days too?

I don't know. Other people may. Remember that at that point in the process you are just another tourist wanting to enter the country to have a look around for 90 days. You don't have any status other than that. So the question is: can a tourist enter the country with a dog?

No idea. I don't know for a fact that you can't bring a dog, but I imagine, as you are (effectively) entering as a tourist for 90 days, it might be hard to include a dog with the luggage. Someone else can comment on this aspect. If it is a deal-breaker for you, it may be better to go through...

You may be able to set it all up from home and come with everything, as Toast was evidently able to do. The other process, in answer to your specific question, is as follows: You enter the country (sans dog) on your flight. At the immigration desk, they grant you a 90-day entry, colloquially...

Surely we've seen enough in recent years to realize that noble aim disappeared some time ago (like, for example, senior public servants in Westminster systems giving fearless and frank advice to government). All we can do now is take them all with a grain of salt, read widely across the...

In theory, the path to citizenship (which seems to be your ultimate goal) is logical and correct. The minimum income is the minimum monthly salary in Argentina (which rises constantly for inflation--105,500 pesos for July 2023) multiplied by 5 (i.e 527,500 for July 2023) converted at the...

Hah, that became a standard joke between me and my travelling companion the first time here back in '88. The memory still crosses my mind whenever I see a sign above a shop. I suppose the real ferret shops are "huronerias". Yet to see one though.
