Application procedure

Here’s a step-by-step outline of the process:

  1. Check eligibility – Confirm your nationality is visa-exempt for Argentina, and that your remote work qualifies (work for non-Argentinian clients/employer).
  2. Gather documents – As listed above, ensure translations/legalisation if needed.
  3. Submit application – Many sources say the application begins online via the “TIE 24H” electronic entry processing portal. eirla.cancilleria.gob.ar+2How to Be a Digital Nomad+2
  4. Pay the fees – Fees around USD 200 total are mentioned (approx USD 120 application + USD 80 consular) though amounts may vary. Nomad Magazine
  5. Wait for approval – Processing times vary; 10-45 days is cited. Nomadic Expert
  6. Entry & Registration – Once approved, you enter Argentina under the permit/residence. You may need to register with immigration authorities and obtain local resident-ID (if applicable) after arrival. Nomadic Expert
  7. Stay & Compliance – You should abide by the conditions (remote work only for foreign-source income, no local employment).
  8. Extension – The permit is valid initially for 180 days and may be extended for another 180 days in many cases (total up to ~12 months). Digital Nomad Calc+1

Duration, taxes & other key points

  • The permit is typically valid for 180 days (≈6 months) and may be extended for another 180 days (total up to ~12 months) in practice. Mazzeschi+1
  • Foreign-source income may be exempt from Argentine income tax, as long as you don’t trigger tax residency (for example by staying > 183 days) and your income is from abroad. Digital Nomad Calc+1
  • You cannot work for an Argentine employer under this permit; work must be remote for non-Argentine source. Nomadic Expert

Caveats & things to watch

  • The permit requires your nationality to be one of the visa-exempt countries for Argentina; check if your country qualifies. Digital Nomad Calc
  • Application while already inside Argentina may not be permitted in all cases; many sources say you should apply from outside. How to Be a Digital Nomad
  • All foreign-issued documents may need apostille/legalisation + certified translation into Spanish. Missing this is a common cause of delay. Reddit+1
  • Although income thresholds are suggested (~USD 2,500/month), these may not be strictly codified in the public legislation, and decisions may be case-by-case. Digital Nomad Calc
  • While the permit is extendable, staying beyond the total term or triggering residency requirements may bring tax obligations; check local tax rules.
  • The practical experience of users suggests that the online portal and process may have glitches (login issues, uploads) and needs patience. Reddit
