steveinbsas said:The new income requirement for the visa rentista is undoubtedly going to create more perma-tourists, not less. If and when the folks at AFIP and/or migraciones see a serious drop in the number of applicants for new visas and renewals they might realize the new requirement will mean a loss of revenue from the fees as well as not generate more income tax revenue. Then and only then would I expect any serious crack down on perma-tourists and enforcement (or enactment) of a rule that only allows foreigners to be in Argentina a maximum of 180 days per year.
There must be a drop already
