Questions about buying an apartment as a foreigner with CDI, and about acquiring residence permit

[dkaya]

Hello! I have a question about buying an apartment. Can someone buy an apartment without DNI? Normally, I read that someone(tourist visa) can invest in argentina.gob.ar. Is it true? In addition, have you information about someone can open account in Banco Piano to bring money? (without DNI). Thanks for all.

You can enter as a tourist and buy an apartment; you do NOT need a DNI. That is the easy part. The hard part is bringing in the money.

Are purchases usually made in physical cash? Because changing crypto to cash is super easy just for a 3% fee.

Hi everyone! I would like to find out if any of you have recommendations for legal professionals who can guide me through the process of buying an apartment in Buenos Aires, and also starting the process of getting a residence permit. I speak Spanish, but I would need help understanding the legal terminology, so preferably it would be someone speaking English as well. I got my CDI, and I'm already in conversation with a financial expert (whom I contacted based on a recommendation in a previous thread here) to help me figure out how to bring in the funds necessary to buy the apartment. I would like to find out whether I need to already have a temporary residence permit in order to buy the apartment, and if so, what are the steps. I would also be super grateful if any of you who have gone through all this would share their experience (here or in a phone conversation), and especially if you had a local professional help you navigate through these processes. Thank you so much, have a wonderful day!

Hello going through same process now. Would you be willing to share who you used and the pricing?
