I expect to gain a second passport that will keep me from being enslaved by one government. If I have two passports I have more flexibility with my
online business and the possibilities of covering the globe.
But I got this disturbing news from International Living online magazine and I want to know if it is true:
International Living at
www.internationalliving.com says this about Argentina. But what I have heard from you does not match up with what they say. Can you tell me if they are wrong? I heard that there are other easier ways to get permanent residency from the ARCA web site. See below:
==============================================================
Note: It is difficult to get permanent residency here unless you buy property. If you buy property through a corporation and make yourself the director of the corporation, you can basically write yourself a letter offering yourself a job. If you don’t want to buy a property, you could rent, but you would be able to spend only six months in the country (enter on a three-month tourist visa and then extend it at the immigration office for another three months). Renting may be the way to go for people who just want to spend three to six months in Argentina, especially right now, as rents are pretty low. Also, remember that Argentina enjoys opposite seasons to the U.S. If you time your six-month stint appropriately, you could live with year-round spring and summer temperatures.
