Good evening everyone,

It's Steve here from the UK. I've always been interested in South America, particularly Argentina. My Spanish is reasonably good already, though I'd like to take a refresher course once I get there. I don't particularly wish to take up employment, though may do TEFL if the opportunity arises. My research has led me to consider either BA or Mendoza. I was looking for advice on the Minimum Income requirement for the Pensionado visa as it seems from what I have read to have changed twice already, if anyone could help?

The answer seems to be here: https://www.argentina.gob.ar/servicio/o … pensionado

Rentista: Foreigners who will earn no less than ARS 30 000 per month for at least 2 years.

Pensionado: A foreigner who receives a pension granted by a government, private company or international organisation a sum that allows him/her to have a regular and permanent income in the country. Does not say how much, but I suppose that if they consider ARS 30 000 for a rentista, it should be around the same amount for a pensionado.
