New rentista requirements: 2000 usd per person

I read that as allowing one to bring in money (via Western Union, for example, assuming it is authorized by the Banco Central, which I guess it must be), and not even necessarily then depositing it in a bank account.

I don’t think Western Union is authorized by Banco Central. At least, I cannot see it in dropdown here: https://www.bcra.gob.ar/SistemasFinancierosYdePagos/Entidades_financieras_i.asp

The mentioned document establishes the minimum amount to qualify as rentista or pensionado as "cinco salarios minimos vitales y moviles". If one salario minimo vital y movil, as of April 1st, 2023 is $87.987 pesos, then, right now, five minimum salaries would be $439,935 pesos. You are right that if we use the official exchange rate that would mean US$2,000, but do people do that? If you receive a transfer in pesos, or convert from dollar blue it would be a little over $900 dollars.

FYI for anyone reading this, as of September first, 2024, the monthly salario mínimo will be $268.056,50 pesos.
