Rentista visa and some other questions

@Bajo_cero2 is a citizenship specialist not a residency specialist. You might want to get started with a residency specialist before diving into that.

Living here for a year even in a grey area (overstays) (without committing serious crimes) would seemingly satisfy the citizenship requirement. However, the greyer your application is, the harder the process can be.

Is Argentinian citizenship a good thing to have by the way? As far as I've read, after 1 year of living in Argentina, I could already apply for citizenship? If I have the rentista visa, know Spanish and have spent the full required 2 years in Argentina, I should have no issue getting citizenship, correct?

Nowadays you can apply as soon as you arrive. The advantage is you are protected from deportation or rejection at the re entry. Plus you prepare the evidence so, when you have the 2 years the case is ready instead of just beginning.
The legal residency (rentista visa) is not a requirement. Judges prefer you work here even under the table.
Bring with you a birth certificate. Th FBI Criminal Background check expires in 24 months. Both apostilled.
If your goal is citizenship and you do not qualify for retirement visa, I suggest you just overstay and stay under the radar.

There is no grey, the clear letter of art. 20 of the Constitution recognize the possession right where citizenship lays: possession of domicile for 2 years while legal residency is the tittle. This is a basic principle at law that possession kills tittle.
If your passport is real, you arrive legally, your work is honest and you do not have criminal records, your case is not grey, is straight forward. To apply sooner give you the time to change the judge in case you are not lucky.

I understand! What happens if you need some sort of service at the hospital or at the bank or you get stopped by police (happened to me before here in Russia)? Won't they see that you overstayed your visa and deport you (or even worse, jail)?

I have a quick question about applying for Cotixenship. On Monday or Tuesday I will receive my DNi in the mail ( I have been tracking it)
I have permanent residency. I am strongly considering applying for citizenship. Is it necessary for me to do another FBI background check in order to get citizenship, since I already needed one to get my Permanent Residence?
Thanks in advance for definitive info about this.

Yes. It expires after 2 years for them.

So what you are saying is the one that I used for my permanent residence is still valid ,
Correct?
As it’s valid for a total of two years .,…

Since it was issued.

You are Argentine since you apply and the evidence is the cover of your file before the Federal Judge. It is fraud to deport you.
