    New risk of expulsion for foreigners

    I'd be more concerned if I had posted about how to stay under ARCA's radar and avoid paying taxes in Argentina than posting about going to their officees and asking in person about my tax liability and/or any forms that I was required to file (as opposed to taking anyone else's (including...

    New risk of expulsion for foreigners

    If the current government really wanted to get rid of a number of "undesirable" foreigners, regardless of what they might have ever said that could be considered anti-Argentine," one thing they could do is raise the monthly income reqirement for the visa rentista and the visa pensionada, from...

    I need recommendations for law firms specializing in immigration and investor residency

    You can search the internet for "well known Argentine lawyers who specialize in residency for foreigners who want to start a business in Argentina." As others have indicated, it appears that you will have to actually apply through an Argentine consulate.

    Has anyone recently entered BA planning to stay for more than 3 months?

    I don't know if it's different for Mercosur residents than residents of other "visa free" countries, but I don't think that migraciones gives anyone more than a 90 day entry permit which may be extended once for 90 days at the office of migraciones. This is exactly what I did the first (and...

    Rentista on royalty income — has anyone actually done this?

    You might be able to pull it off by doing tthis: Self fund an irrevecocable trust with enough funds to satisfy the monthly income reqirement for at least one year (two may be much better). The trust document will show you as the trustor and the beneficiary. Name a trusted friend as the trustee...

    Citizenship and migration DNU declared unconstitutional June 30th 2026

    Earlier this evening I asked Google AI "Are There any well known lawyers in Argentina who specialize in citizenship for foreigners without a DNI or residency of legal status with migraciones." The answer was far more detailed than I expected and I did not detect any factual errors when I read...

    Citizenship and migration DNU declared unconstitutional June 30th 2026

    I actually have personal experience with the citizenship processes in the Federal Court. At the time, a lawyer was not required and I was guided through the process step by step by the court itself after applying in person without a lawyer. It is still possible to apply for citizenship at a...

    Perhaps the "75" in the later answer is a good example of the potential errors in AI answers. It looks like 70 is the threshold. If not, the application will be rejected at the start.

    Medical Expenses

    OK Just want to note here that the last post I made included this "10 years of residency: Required for foreign nationals over 75 years old seeking basic identity and domicile registration for direct ⁠PAMI Affiliation for Older Adults." I believe that this is the first time that the age of...

    Medical Expenses

    So, I just asked Google AI again about the rules which apply to foreigners to be eligible for PAMI and recieved this reply: "A foreigner in Argentina becomes eligible for PAMI coverage either automatically through a local contributory retirement, or by meeting specific age and non-contributory...

    Medical Expenses

    If this is accurate, and 20 years of "legal residency" includes both temporary and permanent residency, then I won't be eligible for PAMI until October 23rd, 2026. If 20 years of permanent residency is required, then I would have to wait three more years before I would be able to apply, but I...

    PAMI has been discussed here in at least two threads since 2017. Here are the two threads with "PAMI" in the titles: Thread 'PAMI for permanant resident?' https://baexpats.org/threads/pami-for-permanant-resident.41228/ Thread 'Does Anybody Have / Use This Pami Thing?'...

    According to Google AI... "To enroll in PAMI as a person over 70 without a pension, you need your DNI, a CUIL/CUIT proof, and ANSES non-benefit certification. Required DocumentsDNI (National Identity Document) with your current address. If you are over 75, older booklet-style IDs (Libreta...

    If "you" are over 70, have had Argentine residency for ten years, and have no Argentine pension income, you should be able to enroll in PAMI. I asked Google AI and got this reply: "Enrolling in ⁠PAMI provides a foreign resident over 70 with 10 years of residency access to comprehensive...

    Well, where do I start....

    After migraciones accepts all of the required docs for temporary residency (and after the in person interview?), they will issue the precaria. They will not issue a "temporary DNI" as the temporary residency must actually be approved before a DNI will be issued by RENAPER. The DNI will be...

    Well, where do I start....

    Hopefully, you will be able to apply for temporary residency (the visa pensiona) based only on your Social Security income. You will automatically recieve your DNI after your temporary residency is granted. You won't need to do anything else to get it Prior to that, migraciones will issue a...

    Citizenship and migration DNU declared unconstitutional June 30th 2026

    Great question. It was provided by Google AI as we chatted back and forth. I did not look at the individual sources that were cited. I've never researhed rhe student visa, but even if a limit of 20 hours a week was ever actually specified, I doubt that it would be strictly enforced, but that's...
