Digital Nomad & Residency - Argentina

A transitory residence lets remote workers and freelancers live in Argentina for up to 180 days, extendable once for an equal period, to provide services remotely to foreign individuals or entities. It cannot be used for employment with Argentine companies.

The digital-nomad route is available only to foreigners from countries that do not require a visa to enter Argentina as tourists; others must use a different category.

Applicants submit a written request describing their independent activity, a CV, proof of the remote activity (contract, company endorsement, invoices/fee receipts or income proof), an occupational reference, and a valid passport; no fixed statutory minimum income amount is published for the nomad category.

Applications are filed online via the DNM, including the TIE (Tramitación de Ingreso Electrónica) channel for digital nomads, with an account to track status; consular application abroad is also possible.

A separate temporary residency for those living on stable foreign passive income (from assets/investments, not personal labor) is granted yearly and renewable; after three years of temporary residence an applicant may seek permanent residency.

An 'inversionista' temporary-residency category exists for those making a qualifying productive investment in Argentina, but the country does not operate a residency-by-investment 'golden visa' program in the conventional sense. Temporary residency can ultimately lead to permanent residency and naturalization.
