    Opening a bank account

    Meeting the rentista passive income requirement using a peso bank account?

    I don't follow the citizenship thread too closely, but if memory serves me correctly, as recently as the last two or three weeks, somebody posed the question: has anybody actually achieved citizenship by simply arriving as a tourist and applying with that status? I don't think anybody has yet...

    Meeting the rentista passive income requirement using a peso bank account?

    Regarding this, it is quite clear (from my own investigations about three years ago) and from the experiences of others reported here (Secret included) that to gain a temporary residency as a student the institution offering the course must be registered with Migraciones (and the course approved...

    Meeting the rentista passive income requirement using a peso bank account?

    It's a pity Secret Shopper has disappeared. His was a long running saga on these pages of an attempt to get residency (and ultimately citizenship/passport) by being a student (a fake one, in his case). It seems he eventually realised it wasn't going to work.

    Situational awareness / the need of vigilance

    The blue eyes bit makes some sense, the hairstyle perhaps, but there are plenty of 6´3" 250lb Argentinians walking around, males and females.

    How much is the cost of living in Buenos Aires in June 2023 in US$?

    He doesn’t wanna buy. He wants to rent. Of course it’s impossible to answer since everyone’s needs, tastes and living arrangements are different. But here’s a baseline to build from: Assume 400,000 pesos per month (as of today, 430,000 pesos a month from now), the equivalent of around 400 blue...

    What Would Dollarization Mean for Expats?

    Not to mention the unpredictable effect abstention will have on voting day (large abstention rates seen in the weekend voting), not to mention that, like elsewhere in the world, subnational elections are decided on subnational issues and so poor performances by Milei at that level are by no...

    New rentista requirements: 2000 usd per person

    It is certainly possible that Migraciones in their internal regulations have more precise requirements than those they publish on the website and put in their disposiciones.

    New rentista requirements: 2000 usd per person

    The new Dispocion says: ARTÍCULO 3°.- Establécese que la renta a acreditar deberá constituir un beneficio proveniente de activos incorporados al patrimonio del solicitante (instrumentos financieros, inmuebles, participaciones en empresas, u otros extremos a juicio de la DIRECCIÓN GENERAL DE...

    New rentista requirements: 2000 usd per person

    I don't think it's got anything to do with directness, nor does it even specify that the funds have to go into a bank account. This is why Trucho's post is so interesting (quite apart from the fact that it refers to Pensionista residency, which hasn't (and still doesn't, according to the...

    New rentista requirements: 2000 usd per person

    May I ask you to clarify this? At what point in the process did Migraciones demand these bank statements (for example, were you seeking to renew a 12-month temporary pensionist residency for another 12 months and to grant it they wanted to see that you had been bringing funds in through the...

    New rentista requirements: 2000 usd per person

    That is interesting. Migraciones have previously required this for the Rentista category only. The Disposición says the requirement continues for the Rentista, but does not extend it to the Pensionista residency.

    New rentista requirements: 2000 usd per person

    One of the holes in your plan is that it assumes the minimum is the ANSES jubilación (X 5) and not the (considerably higher) SMVM (X 5) Bajo seems to be saying that it's the ANSES rate, but that is not what the Disposición says.

    New rentista requirements: 2000 usd per person

    Are you saying the minimum to qualify for the pensionista will be calculated on the ANSES rate (70,938 at present), rather than the SMVM (87,987) at present?

    New rentista requirements: 2000 usd per person

    Doesn't it only get better if the value of the peso at the official rate against the USD drops more than the salario mínimo increases? And get worse if it doesn't?
