Hi
Residency isn't hard but you will need some help-even if you speak spanish. Tell me what you are planning and your age and I can give you some resources. My wife and I are just back to the states to wrap up buisiness and move to Patagonia.

I am not the original questioner, but I have the same question! I am 55, am planning to move to Argentina this time next year, with my amogovio. He is a permanent resident of Argentina, who own property. Would we be better off married than single? That's the first question. More questions to come.

We are interested in residency, but don't know what options we have. My husband is 53 and US citizen and I am 47 SK citizen.
We would like to retire in Argentina. What are the option or conditions on getting the residency.
Thanks!!

To get legal residence you can marry an Argentine, enroll as a student, or invest money in Argentina (there is a minimum), or show you have funds (trust fund, or retirement funds, outside Argentina, that meet a certain minumum per month) and apply for residence through your local Argentine consulate, before going.
(check Migraciones website for current situation and details for the categories of residence, http://www.migraciones.gov.ar/ ).
Once you get the residence permit, you can get the foreigners' DNI which is like the green card.
Note that if you do this paperwork in the US or in Argentina, when you have to present copies of your birth certificate or marriage certificate, they have to be "legalized" by the Argentine consulate in the area where you were born or married, which may not be where you live now. Just adds to the paperwork!
For more info look for BANewcomers, which is a yahoo group that is for expats in Argentina (not the same as the Downtown Newcomers organization for expats living there, for social networking).
Good luck!

also, if you are presenting u.s. documents in argentina (birth certificate, criminal record, etc.) the will need to have an "apostille" which is a certification that it is a legitimate document from the u.s.
when you request your birth certificate, tell them it is for use in a foreign country and that you need an apostille

Hi, I have a related residency question. Once you receive a DNI para extranjeros, what do you need to do to renew it?
I can't find any info on the migraciones website. I went to the Argentine consulate in the US and was told that I could only renew in Argentina. I am travelling soon but wanted to know if someone has gone through the process and what (if any documents) are required. Thanks.
PS: I am a US Citizen and both my parents are Argentine. I applied for residency through my parents and obtained my DNI ten years ago.

i have never been through the process but, yes, you have to do it in argentina ... since the only things they ask for from the states when you go through the process the first time are apostille-certified copies of your birth certificate and criminal records i can´t imagine that they ask for anything more than that

Hi,
I am in the planning stages now, but should relocate to Argentina late this year or early next year. I don't think I would call what I am doing "retirement" . A better way of putting it might be to say that I am starting a new phase of my life. Still, I might be interested in your writing project. Could you e-mail me with more info? Thanks
