Actually, he said it is required.
The question is whether migraciones accept proof of foreign income. And sometimes they do, but it is decided on case by case basis.
Igor, You are right about Attorney's post concerning the income requirement for the descreta 1169. Was he referring to income
in Argentina? I think so, but I would appreciate a clarification. Are any expats from the USA or Europe eligible for this type of visa?
After rereading the requirements on the migraciones website, I am still reasonably certain that the visa rentista requires proof of "stable"
foreign income in every case. They also require proof that the income continues at each annual renewal. Do you know of any exceptions?
When you say it is decides on a "case by case basis" do you mean each and every individual visa or are you referring to the general requirements for the different types of visas?
I have yet to meet anyone here who has indicated they have the visa pensionada, but I think it requires proof on continuing income as well. Perhaps not so many seniors from the US can afford to live here without the benefits of medicare (as well as other seniors from countries with subsidized "quality" health care), but some with deeper pockets probably do. I think they would have to continue to "prove" their income at each renewal as well.
