Getting Residency In Argentina<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The world is a massive and eclectic place filled with millions of cities each with their own culture, dialect, food, weather, etc. Thanks to technology, we are no longer confined to live and work in the place we were born. We are free to go where we are treated best. So long as we have a portable business, we\u2019re free to chose our home base and which tax laws we will live under. <\/span><\/p>\n

2018\u2019s politics aside, the United States has a decent and amicable relationship with more than 200 countries globally and they welcome any American citizen who wishes to call a foreign country their home, of course there are certain exceptions. These countries are happy to give you a better tax and business climate in exchange for you moving yourself and your business within their borders. <\/span><\/p>\n

As an American you can become a resident of 90% of the countries around the world, but its not as easy as just walking into the country and buying a passport at the local supermarket.

Let\u2019s begin to discuss how you can get residency in Argentina. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is important to know before going to live in Argentina that dealing with the government in these matters can take some time. Several Americans have complained about the length of the process as it is longer and much more paperwork heavy than other jurisdictions. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is all a nice way to say that dealing with government agencies and applying for residency in Argentina is a huge pain in the ass. Unlike most Caribbean countries, and countries such as Panama, Argentina has not reduced the amount of red tape associated with applying for residency. <\/span><\/p>\n

The estimated time \u00a0for the completion of a temporary residency permit can be up to a year. A lot longer than many other countries. You have to know that the countries that have a short period of residency review are desperate for foreign investment, Argentina \u201cwelcomes\u201d investors from all over the world just under their rules and at their pace. <\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the documents that you will have to provide to begin the application depending on your case include:<\/span><\/p>\n
