Absolutely not. Today, the rentista temporary residency is the most complicated category imaginable. Especially when you start getting into having to document complex financial arrangements that generate the income. Poke around on some recent threads on the subject, where you will see this...

I agree it's crystal clear. But OP is being told (possibly by people with an interest in doing so), that he or she can find ways out of it. He or she needs an expert to explain why that is not the case, and how he or she can manage their time in Argentina so to not qualify as a tax resident. OP...

That precisely why you need a different specialist. The tax issues are complicated. And they move around. The immigration guys have a general knowledge but no real incentive to go deeper, or to keep up with the changes. You've said you want to live here "long term". How long is that? Forever...

Good. But, really, to line up the ducks properly, it's time now to find a specialist tax accountant. It's a complex area, and the immigration lawyer might not have all the details, or the longer-term perspective on how things might play out, and may have a vested interest in downplaying the...

Don't be led off track by options like permatourism. Your thinking is good. You want to put roots down. You don't want to be living precariously trying to stay ahead of immigration regulations. The only way to do that is to become an immigrant to one of these countries. In the case of...

One positive in all this: at least we all seem to be agreed that this eternal issue is real. Nobody has yet chimed in say, in effect, it's never happened to me therefore it never happens. That's progress. A debate has been had and resolved on this website.

Red, it's a brave man who claims to know what women think and will do.

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...
