It seems you need a provisional a solution for the next year or two at the most that involves you coming here and zero absences while you are here (and no overstaying). Unfortunately, there is probably no temporary residence category available to you, other than the one you would open up by...

The other alternative, thinking everything from the back, is that you bring her to Germany after she's finished her studies. If the relationship works, it's probably an equally likely final scenario, so you should also be investigating the immigration and tax implications of that, instead (or as...

To the best of my knowledge (non-expert in either field but quite experienced now having worked with both immigration and tax advisers over a number of years), this would work: Work remotely for your German company and enter as a tourist for 90 days with a view to extending for another 90 days...

If you've obtained this advice from an international tax specialist, then give it due consideration. However, you can't pay tax in Argentina if you are not a tax resident of Argentina. And, as section 2.3 of the KPMG report shows (based on Article 116 (b) of the Ley de...

You really ought to relax on the tax aspects. You are in the priviledged position of being covered by a double tax agreement. This means regardless of when you technically meet the definition of tax residency in Argentina, you will still be liable to tax ONLY in Germany, where most of your...

Very good, very German. Now, let me tell you something, as someone who has suffered from the same syndrome, and for much longer than you have: you are going to have to let some of this go. These are tough times for people like us. Almost all the key variables surrounding your situation are...

If avoiding Argentine tax residency is what you want to do. The more you get into this voyage of discovery, you may find, on the other hand, that it would be better to become a tax resident in Argentina and use the tax agreement to lose your tax residence in Germany. This all goes to the...

There is also a double tax agreement between Germany and Argentina: https://www.argentina.gob.ar/sites/default/files/cdi_con_alemania_-_protocolo.pdf So if you are set on getting tax advice so soon, it might make more sense to engage an advisor in Germany who you can speak to in your own...

There are plenty of advisors around, but, honestly, you are getting way ahead of yourself by worrying about the tax obligations at this stage. If all this works out in the medium term in the way you are hoping, and if that means living in Argentina with her rather than in Germany with her, you...

I, too, have been waiting three months for this year's plastic card, despite now three attempts by my lawyer to kick-start the process. It hasn't been a problem in past years, but this year the system seems not to be working.

The recent, much-discussed (possibly unconstitutional and possibly soon-to-be vetoed by parliament) decree does not void citizenship for Argentine residents who leave the country. It requires non-citizens who aspire to become citizens to not leave the country for two years in order to qualify to...

Remember, reports like the one you have found from KPMG have to summarize complex taxation legislation. They can't possibly do justice to the nuance of the law. If you are interested in adhering to Argentine tax legislation as part of a long-term commitment to be in this country with your...

No. You only become a tax resident after 12 months of having been issued a temporary residency (residencia temporaria) by Migraciones. And if, during the 12 months, you stayed out of Argentina for more than 90 days, you remain non-resident for tax purposes. If you were to skip the temporary...

It's very important to clarify this, as Canuck says. Dave's understanding of 'residency' as outlined here is quite different to anything Migraciones are interested in, but much closer to the matters ACRA would look at when determining a foreigner's 'tax' residency. In Argentina, we have...

Does a Spanish word equivalent to 'uninterrupted' appear in the DNU or elsewhere, either in relation to residency or citizenship? If not, do we need to include it in this discussion or are we just making things unnecessarily worse? If we are trying to understand what Migraciones terminology...

A better idea might be to come for 90 days as a tourist, work remotely for your company, extend for another 90 days to make it 6 months in total. If the relationship survives that test, you can investigate the options you mention, and others.

Good luck. Let US know the current situation regarding the monthly income requirements and if they have changed since the DNU came out.

Flying is speaking hypothetically, I would say. S/he's has no contact with Migraciones; s/he is trying to decide whether s/he should. There doesnt seem to be much point at this late stage, unless Flying is already well advanced in the application in the undisclosed residency category. His/her...

It seems fairly clear that there is little point at this late stage in his/her Argentina project in Flying pursuing a residency application (if s/he has in fact started one), but the above definition is the key question that his/her thread has thrown up. It would be great to know if the...

Well, if this information from the lawyer is correct, then you would, in theory be OK and solve your moral dilemma. But in practical terms, you won't unless you can pull off the feat of gathering all your documents from overseas, getting them apostilled in your home country, couriering them in...
