Argentina Digital Nomad Visa
Argentina offers a transitory residence for digital nomads granting up to 180 days (renewable once) to nationals of visa-exempt countries working remotely for foreign clients, with no officially fixed minimum income.
Unusually, Argentina's official rules set no fixed income threshold — applicants only prove regular foreign-source remote income. The commonly-quoted '$2,000–$2,500/month' figures are third-party estimates with no government basis. [Source: Argentina National Directorate of Migration ↗]
Updated: The category survived the 2025 migration overhaul, which added a mandatory health-insurance declaration.
Key requirements
- Passport from a tourist-visa-exempt country
- Proof of remote work for foreign persons/companies (no fixed income figure)
- Health-insurance declaration
- Criminal-record certificate
