Thanks To @zabazaba Mystery Finally Solved !

The question of The Pensioner Minimum Income has been outstanding without any answers for the longest time !

Surprisingly, in his post @zabazaba referenced, the website of the AR consulate in NY, ... clearly stipulating $2500 pesos Argentinos.

• (5) Evidence of income: letter from the Social Security Administration, a pension’s fund or a bank indicating your monthly income. A minimum of $ 2,500 pesos argentinos (or its equivalent in U.S. dollars) per visa applicant (principal and dependants) per month is required. Ask the Consulate for applicable exchange rate. Letters must be written on official letterhead paper, duly signed by the person in charge and notarized.

Never believe what you read on a consular website. This information is obsolete. The $2500 peso per month requirement is the OLD rate, prior to the $8000 set in 2010. The $2500 peso per month requirement was in effect when I applied in 2006 and the dollar equivalent at the time was $750 per month.

This is just one example.

Here's another: Someone recently posted that the London consular site still indicates that it is possible to come to Argentina and as the 30 day visa expires, get a 90 day extension at migraciones and THEN leave the country and return (immediately) and get a new 90 day visa which can THEN be extended at migraciones just before it expires.

That is no longer possible.

Migraciones in Argentina (and the information on their website) always trumps anything on a consular website.
