    Obtaining Argentine citizenship

    Even if a case was filed (and "accepted" by a Federal Court) shortly after May 2025, has enough time passed since then for any court to actually complete the citizenship process? If I wanted to move to Argentina without having sufficient passive foreign income to qualify for temporary...

    Obtaining Argentine citizenship

    Have either the cost or the conditions of the CBI been revealed? If not, and migraciones is not yet processing "free" citizenship, then, at least for now, the only path forward appears to be through the Federal Court. A figure of $500,000 USD has been floating arround as a projected cost of a...

    Obtaining Argentine citizenship

    The first thing I thought of asking after reading this post is if your friends applied for citizenship before or after they had been in Argentina for two years and if any of them did not already have a DNI when their applications were submitted.

    Obtaining Argentine citizenship

    Please express the figure (8500k) with the appropriate periods and commas. Also clarify to whom it is paid. If it's $85.000 pesos, that's about twice as much as an overstay fee and seems quite reasonable. What I wanted to know is how much someone who applies for citizenship at a Federal Court...

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    For what it's worth, your post makes me more greatful than ever to still be alive and living a "healthy" life in Argentina. I was still 71 almost five years ago. My monthly "health insurance" cost is $0.00,00 (the same for the past fourteen years). My current monthly "prescribed" meds cost is...

    15 Month Waiting Time for Temporary Residency

    If I understand correctly, based on what I've read about the recent changes, being married to an Argentine citizen now only makes a foreigner eligible for temporary residency, which will become permanent on the third renewal of the temporary residency. I believe that a foreigner who has a three...

    Obtaining Argentine citizenship

    I don't think so. With the new requirement for two years of continuous physical presence in Argentina without leaving the country for even one day, your timeline for citizenship began on the date of your most recent entry, or, if you are presently out of the country, it will begin on the date of...

    Correo Argentino doesn't deliver mail to the USA

    For the first two or three years after my arrival in Argentina I used taxactonline.com. I never filed a paper return. It was easy and I was very happy with the results: no questions from or audits by the IRS.

    Obtaining Argentine citizenship

    I searched Bajo_cero2's posts with the word "constitutional" and found his previous answer: "...you can apply at DNM without a lawyer but it takes about 6 years since arrival. Or you can apply at Federal Courts but you need a lawyer and you need about 30 months since arrival to Argentina."...

    Obtaining Argentine citizenship

    It would be helpful to know if applying for citizenship through the Federal Court now requires a lawyer or it's possible for someone who has been in Argentina for two years with temporary residency and without leaving the country for even one day during the two years to do so on their own. If...

    Obtaining Argentine citizenship

    Do you mean that you just got permanent residency after completing 3 years of temporary residency based on pension income? I followed the same path from October of 2006 (when I was first granted temporary residency based on pension income) until January of 2010, when I was granted permanent...

    Obtaining Argentine citizenship

    If I understand correctly, based on the recent decree, the "path" to citizenship via migraciones requires two years of legal temporary residency and two years of continuous physical presence in Argentina before applying for citizenship (without a lawyer) and the clock for the two years of...

    Obtaining Argentine citizenship

    You begin by getting residency temporaria based on your pension or investment income. You can apply at the office of migraciones in Argentina or (hopefully) at the Argentine consulate in your home country. Temporary residency must be renewed annually and (under preesent rules), if you stay in...

    15 Month Waiting Time for Temporary Residency

    Unless something has changed recently, you should automatically recieve your DNI "shortly" after your temporary residency is approved. Meanwhile, you may be able to to get a temporary CUIL/CUIT from ANSES that has 11 digets. Then you might be able to use it (without the first two or the last...

    Information about Rentista VISA

    This is a thread from 2012 but it focuses on the question about the quality of life that a family of four living on a monthly income of $4000 would be able to enjoy: https://baexpats.org/threads/would-you-move-a-family-to-argentina.22834/post-178980 There have been plenty of ups and downs...

    Coffee in the market

    The fact that it was sin azucar and I would be adding cacao amagro, milk and butter was all I really needed to know. Nonetheless, the history of the Cabrales company, founded in Argentina in 1941 by a Spanish immigrant, was far more appealing to me than the history of Nestle's. History -...

    Coffee in the market

    PS to my previous post: Based on my usage, 170g of the Cafe Cabrales La Planta is a much finer powder and goes a lot further than 170g of the Nescafe Clásico instant coffee. The Nescafe Clásico is comprised of "chunkier" particles and I used a jar of it much more quickly than the Cabrales. The...
