About this visa & living in Argentina

Argentina's Digital Nomad Visa lands you in Buenos Aires — one of the most European-feeling cities in the Americas, with extraordinary food, wine, architecture and nightlife. Currency dynamics mean dollar earners can live exceptionally well for relatively little, and Patagonia, Mendoza wine country and the Andes are within reach for longer trips. The visa is renewable for a second six months, giving up to a year of legal stay.
