Argentina - A decent retirement alternative

Argentina are offering a retirement visa for - get this - proof of having 300 dollars a month pension!

I wouldn't suggest living in Buenos Aires for 300 dollars a month but there are plenty of places in Argentina
where at least 800 dollars a month would be fine! (Best off having enough money to buy an apartment so you
aren't paying rent though...).

The great thing about this is that you are eligible for PR and citizenship within a relatively short timeframe - within three years meaning you don't have to keep applying for retirement visas and then one day, they kick you out because you can't afford their heightened requirements.

I could satisfy the income requirement for Argentina under a different residence program.

Argentina also has no language requirements, a passport to allow visa-free travel to Russia, and Argentinian girls are majority White compared to other South American nationalities.

From what I read on the other website, they typically want to see $2,000 a month but maybe that's just an ideal figure. I doubt they would actually accept anyone with $300 USD a month.

Well, not on the visa you want, on the retirement visa, it is 300 dollars a month, obviously the more money you have at your disposal the better, I wouldn't even attempt to move to Argentina on 300 dollars a month.

Seems like a nice place https://culturewhiz.org/trip-reports/bu ... opean-vibe but do they discriminate against people making over $60,000 a month?

I guess there was a discrepancy in the information for the one I saw? All the websites say 30,000 pesos a month but the residencies.io website says $13,000 annual income. That's for the visa I was looking at called the Rentista Visa.

Yeah, the pensinado visa has different requirements to the rentista visa. Under the rentista visa, you need more money to get the visa.

This is the website of the Argentinian government.
