1Immigration & Visas

Argentina offers several visa categories including tourist, work, investor, retiree (Pensionado), rentista, and student visas. The best option depends on your personal circumstances, source of income, and long-term goals.

Processing times vary by visa type. Temporary residency typically takes 3-6 months. We work to expedite processes where possible and keep you informed at every stage.

2Citizenship

After holding legal residency for 2 years, you can apply for naturalization. Requirements include demonstrating income, passing a basic Spanish and civics test, and showing ties to the community.

Can I have dual citizenship with Argentina?

Yes. Argentina allows dual citizenship. You can maintain your original nationality while becoming an Argentine citizen. Check your home country's rules as well.

3Real Estate

Property transactions involve several taxes and fees including stamp duty, escribano fees, and real estate commission. We provide a complete cost breakdown before any transaction.

4Corporate & Business

The most common structures are SA (equivalent to a corporation) and SAS (simplified corporation). SAS is often preferred for smaller businesses due to lower costs and simpler requirements.
