Digital Nomad Visa
A 180-day transitory residence, extendable once for 180 days, for remote workers with foreign employers or clients.
Residencia transitoria para nómadas digitales
Argentina's digital nomad visa grants a 180-day transitory residence for people working online for employers or clients outside Argentina, extendable once for a total of about a year. There is no officially published income minimum, but consulates and migration officers expect evidence of steady foreign income, typically several thousand US dollars a month. You need clean criminal records from your home country and Argentina, and health insurance valid in Argentina. It does not lead directly to permanent residence.
