If you have a residency issued by Migraciones, you are almost certainly an Argentine tax resident too. That doesn't necessarily mean you should be/should have been paying Argentine tax up to now, but it may, depending on your income levels (if any) and worldwide assets (if any). I don't know...

The caveat being that the benefit accrues only to foreigners bringing in dollars and changing them at the Bolivian blue rate.

I have to agree with Perry on this one. I was in Cochabamba and Tarija for 7 days last week. It was staggeringly cheap.

OK. There would have to be some doubt, I would think. If I were in your shoes, (I'm from a country where the airlines always check this matter), I wouldnt arrive at the airport expecting the airline staff to recognize meaning of the rather dodgy looking Migraciónes one pager precaria. But they...

The question is not at all clear

Only the need to spend as little as one day every 12 months in Arg in order to retain it (permanent residency) versus 183 days (temporary residency).

If enforced, it would lead to the recontra complicated situation of having to apply again for temporary residency, and maintain it for three years before recovering the permanent. But to maintain the temporaries, you'd have to be inside Argentina 183 days each year.

Retrospectively no. But from here on in, to the extent that the current DNU remains in force, and to the extent they are inclined to enforce it, you would lose the permanent residency if you were more than 12 months outside the country.

It would be very interesting to know if anyone who contributes here has ever, or knows of anyone who ever, lost their permanent residency for 2 years out of the country; more specifically if anyone has ever arrived at the border with a DNI in hand and been told it is no longer valid for excess...

As a former Peruvian resident who has been to Ayacucho where a decisive independence battle was fought, I proudly pronounce it the Peruvian way to taxi drivers and they don't correct me. They just grunt and take me there.

I've lived on Ayacucho for 7 years. In all that time I doubt I've ever heard a neighbour, encargado, shopkeeper, taxi driver or bus driver, or anyone else say the street name. In these micro neighborhoods, most people know where they are. It's part of the charm. I think we are all imagining alot...

This rule is, in fact, so little-known that only readers of this thread have access to it. I just asked ChatGPT for a list of palindromes in Spanish and the rule holds up in most cases of word of two syllables or more. It is my unique contribution to Spanish linguistics and I can die happy...

There is no point trying to use the conventional alphabet to describe pronunciation. For that we have the International Phonetic Alphabet. It shows the word to be pronounced (in received English) as: /ˈbɪlɪŋhɜːst/ A reasonably common Argentine prounciation is as follows: /ˈbiʝinɡuɾs̺t/ But...

There is a little-known stress rule for Spanish: when the word is a palindrome, the stress falls on the penultimate syllable.

Not that I've been looking into your category (civil union), but I think it's pretty clear that the changes wrought by the recent DNU mean that foreigners who marry an Argentine are only eligible to apply for temporary residency now, and will only progress to permanent residency after the third...

I think your issue is not about the potential temporary residencies you could apply for (rentista or student), but rather, "how risky it is to now submit a temporary resident application from inside the country, being currently in a situation of overstay and with a new migration regime in...

From reading the articles of the Migration Law posted in a related thread yesterday, I think you'll find that (i) you can apply for temporary residency as parents of an Argentine child and (ii) at the completion of the third year of temporary residency will be able to upgrade to permanent...

It's been a continuous process since first lodging the paperwork in December 2018: nearly three years to get past precaria stage (11 in total due to Covid inertia) to the first temporary residency (Sept 2021 to Sept 2022), a (foolish, in hindsight) category change in Sept 2022 that I may not...

I've complied with every single requirement since December 2018, with a series of impeccable applications, stymied by a combination of complete (Covid-related) bureaucratic inertia, invisible internal rules that they only communicate when it's too late, and changes to published rules, of which...

Unfortunately, I think you're probably screwed. The updated text in Article 20 says: La extensión y renovación de la ‘residencia precaria’ no genera derecho a una resolución favorable respecto de la admisión solicitada, ni resulta residencia válida a los efectos de acreditar arraigo, necesario...
