🇦🇷 Argentina: Apply for Residence and Permanent Residence
Argentina is the honest special case in our portfolio: a Plan A to move to, not a low-presence backup. Even temporary residence requires around 183 days of presence a year; in return you get a country where you can buy farmland and vineyards 100% in your own name, a European-influenced way of life and maximum distance from the trouble spots of the northern hemisphere. The way in is temporary residence: Rentista for passive income from abroad, Pensionado for retirees, or the route via a qualifying investment. After two years comes permanent residence, and with it a stable base for the fast naturalisation Argentina offers people who really move there. On tax, here is what hardly anyone tells you in advance: once you become tax resident, you pay on worldwide income plus wealth tax, so planning your days belongs in the plan from the start. If you only want to park a status, Paraguay or Panama will suit you better.
