    Precaria > Pension Visa > Residence Visa?

    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?

    Precaria > Pension Visa > Residence Visa?

    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...

    Precaria > Pension Visa > Residence Visa?

    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...

    What Are PASO Presidential Primaries and Who's Running?

    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...

    Rentista, Citizenship via naturalization and Tax Compliance

    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...

    Can you buy silver in Argentina?

    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.

    Opening a bank account

    To be clear, you only obtain a DNI after successfully applying to the Dirección Nacional de Migraciones (Migraciones) to become a temporary migrant to Argentina (i.e., applying, being assessed, and being granted). There are various temporary migrant categories you can apply under. If your...

    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.
