Completely understandable. I felt and feel that way about my home country. However, unless you are prepared to live the precarious lifestyle of the permatourist and never integrate into country's basic administrative and commercial systems, the only option is to migrate under one of the...

Other issues to research thoroughly if settling down/a fresh start is the goal (and if an immigration category could be found -- the big IF) include health care/insurance and taxation implications, both in Argentina and Canada.

The only option is to buy a ticket, arrive (sans cat and dog), recieve the standard 90-day tourist entry, renew it for another 90 days at a Migraciones office and then leave. You may be able to obtain a study residency, say for Spanish classes (if there is a language institute whose course has...

Exactly. Without wishing to sound too rude or unwelcoming, a Canadian can't simply "move" to Argentina any more than an Argentinian could simply move to Canada. Argentina is a sovereign country with its own immigration categories and processes.

Probably. But that's a different direction of conversation than the one I was hoping to generate in my post, which is whether (i) the fall of this government would automatically lead back to the one that came before it, whether headed by El Sovietico or someone equally associated with the...

At this point, it would be interesting to hear people's thoughts about what happens in the event this government falls, either through parliament, or at the next presidential election. Caputo said yesterday it's either this or communism from 2027. But surely that's a bit hysterical. If the...

He is a long way off from becoming at risk of paying tax in Argentina. At a minimum, he would need to take out temporary residency, and even then, it would be another 12 months before he became a tax resident here.

I hate the food here. But I'd still prefer it to stay the way it is. There are enough global cities around the world already. Some of us came here yearning for something still reasonably authentic.

I think you are confusing citizenship and residency. My comments were only in respect of residency, but not even residency in this case, instead the precaria phase that comes before Migraciones even issues a temporary residency. My information on that precise matter comes from personal...

To clarify the point you are trying to make here, you mean non-tax and non-Migraciones residents. It's true: a foreigner who is neither a tax resident nor a Migraciones resident but owns assets in Argentina (e.g., an apartment) is up for bienes personales on the value of that asset and, if they...

No. BUT, you have to renew the precaria from time to time. It has an expiry date. If you are outside the country on the expiry date, the process lapses and you have to start again from zero. (This is the detail I mentioned above.)

If you get married during the 90 days and, having got married and having the marriage certificate in your hand apply for the family reunion temporary residency during the 90 days, you can stay longer than the 90 days if the National Migration Directorate take more than the 90 days to process...

OK. I changed my original post after you answered it. Have a look at the above questions and see if you now have the answers you need. I forget to answer the one about the translators. You find your translator here: https://www.traductores.org.ar/ (You will also need the documents...

The information is not very clear. I think you are saying you are a Mercosur resident and you want to enter Argentina and get married here to an Argentine and then obtain Argentine residency. If so, I think your questions are: If I enter Argentina with my Mercosur DNI, is there a time limit...

To renew the Pensionista you must spend a minimum of 183 days (out of 365) in Argentina. You could leave Argentina for 90 days during the 365, still be able to renew the temporary residency at the 365-day mark and avoid becoming a tax resident and thus defer any liability to declare tax in...

The minimum threshold for income tax (known as "ganancias") is adjusted upwatds for inflation regularly. It is currently 2.4 million pesos per month (about US$1800, at today's exchange rate, which also moves around quite a lot of course) for a single person with no dependents. If your pension is...

Suggest keep the number crunching simple: the maximum percentage (of your asset value) payable is 1.25% for 2024, dropping to 0.25 for 2027. Para los períodos siguientes, desde 2024 al 2026, las tablas de alícuotas eliminan el escalón más alto, y las alícuotas quedan comprendidas de esta...

You might find your number is lower now, since the current government has reduced the alicuotas considerably from the 2.25% high of the Fernandez (A) years, and plans to keep reducing them. But, what a future government would do is anybody's guess.

Yet another example of this hilarious phenomenon...

While Argentina moves to soften its wealth tax, suddenly Uruguay (often cited as a better option for people wishing to emigrate to this part of the world) threatens to start taxing wealth held outside the country--probably at least in part targeting the large number of Argentines who changed...
