Rentista Visa & Currency Exchange

[GeorgeAnderson]

Hello, I understand that it is necessary for a rentista visa holder to transfer his income. However, is it required that it be exchanged in to pesos? Is there a way to transfer it to a dollar-denominated account at an Argentine bank, or international bank with an Argentine branch, keep it in dollars, and still have it count for rentista purposes? Thank you.

I am unable to edit, but I wanted to add the citation:

Decreto 616/2010 - ARTICULO 23 - b

b) Rentista: Quien ingrese en esta subcategoría deberá acreditar ante la DIRECCION NACIONAL DE MIGRACIONES el origen de los fondos y su ingreso al país, por intermedio de instituciones bancarias o financieras autorizadas por el BANCO CENTRAL DE LA REPUBLICA ARGENTINA. Asimismo, deberá probar que el monto de las rentas que perciba resulta suficiente para atender a su manutención y la de su grupo familiar primario. A los fines de otorgar la residencia se deberán tomar en cuenta las disposiciones de la Ley Nº 25.246, sobre Encubrimiento y Lavado de Activos de origen delictivo.

Addendum: after further due diligence, it looks like my inquiry was frivolous. The moderation is welcome to delete this thread since it now serves no legitimate purpose.
