    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...

    Medical Expenses

    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...

    Should have been "but NOT even once since then."

    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...

    Citizenship and migration DNU declared unconstitutional June 30th 2026

    What is Still in Full Effect Today: Because the courts only focused on the citizenship jurisdiction, Migraciones continues to strictly enforce the rest of the decree: The 3-Year Temporary Step for Spouses: Marrying or entering a civil union with an Argentine no longer awards immediate...

    Citizenship and migration DNU declared unconstitutional June 30th 2026

    I just asked Google AI a series of questions and here are all of the replies. I am not claiming that all of this is 100% accurate, but after reading it carefully (and "cleaning it up"), it does make sense to me. If anyone (especially an Argentine lawyer) can point to any factual errors, that...

    Overstayed in Argentina: Will I Have Problems Re-entering?

    This morning I self identified to Google AI that I was the biggest "chicken little" expat in Argentina in the past ten years regarding my repeated warnings about foreigners being denied entry because of previous overstays of the tourist visa....and got this reply: "You were vindicated. For...

    I just asked Google AI about the status of the decreto and migraciones power to determine the rules for tourists and temporary and permanent residents and recieved this reply: "Argentina's National Directorate of Migration (DNM) has seen an aggressive expansion of its administrative powers...

    Yesterday (aka Friday the 10th of July) was a "bridge holiday." Hopefully, you'll get a response on Monday.

    Happy fourth!

    Happy fourth to you, mc kenna, and to all who still celebrate this holiday and what it signifies. It's been over 25 years since I actually celebrated the Forth of July in the USA, and the most memorable was 50 years ago, in Las Vegas, and had tears in my eyes when I saw this song performed live...
