Retirement Visa

[Lenny6099]

I'm trying to find out what the requirements are for getting a retirement Visa. Unfortunately all of the information I find here on the web is either vague or contradictory. I tried to get the info from the Argentine Consulate site and got a pop up asking me to call them by phone.

Can anybody direct me to a site where I can just get some simple information?

TIA
Lenny

I think it is required a demonstrated income of 800 USD a month min.
Good luck Henry

I'd be interested in knowing what is meant by a "retirement Visa"?

Thanks for the help. I found all the necessary paperwork online. I had done a search here using the words "retirement visa" and it didn't work out well for me. Okay, I now know that in Argentina it's called a rentista. To answer Freds question a "retirement visa" is the term used in Panama that allows you to stay in tje country indefinitely as long as you meet certain financial qualifications. In Panama arentista is called a "pensionado visa".

A rentista (rentier) is someone whose income is from property rents or bond interest and other investments. A Pensionado (pensioner) is the beneficiary of a pension or retirement fund. Both the rentista and the pensionado are accepted visa categories in Argentina. In both cases you will have to prove a monthly income of at least AR$ 3000.-, as well as submit your birth certificate, a certificate of criminal records from the country or countries where you lived for the past 5 years, and a valid passport. Depending on where you apply for the visa (directly in Argentina or in an Argentine Consulate abroad) some formalities may vary.
