Yesterday I contacted a friend who recently renewed his temporary resident visa. He replied with the following list of what was required to renew his temporary resident visa:
0 the migraciones turno printout with the bar code. migraciones turnos were available the next day.
1 the antecedentes penales,
2 the soc sec income letter from the US consular section in BsAs, apostilled.
3 my original us passport with with my entry stamp
4 the fee was 600 pesos
No translations of any of these docs were needed because they are already in Spanish.
migraciones did NOT want any bank or other financial statements or trransaction receipts or other paper, they did NOT want my photocopy of my passport, they did NOT want any utility bills showing a local address. I took all these things but migraciones didn't want them.
I have looked into the rentista visa but when I got to the point where it says that you need to make a transfer into an Argentinean bank every month I lost interest. I don't think it is even possible now to open a bank account here as a foreigner.

On a related issue that I have been meaning to reply to for a while, it is not necessary for permanent residents to transfer funds from a US bank to an Argentine bank as a condition of their residency (as one veteran here recently opined). I don't think it's necessary for temporary residents to do so, either. I believe that migraciones tried to implement that rule at one point (about five years ago?), but I don't think they ever enforced it.

In reference to Argentine requirements for obtaining temporary residency as pensioners, I can say that in 2011 its Montreal consulate told my husband that we (Canadian/UK citizens living in Canada) could apply from Canada and that we'd have to prove our regular monthly Canadian pension income, set up an Arg peso bank account and prove that we'd arranged with our Canadian bank a regular monthly bank transfer worth 16,000 pesos per month (for 2 pp) for 3 years.
