What do you need help with?

Select the situation closest to yours.

Rentista or pensioner residency

We review the nature and documentation of your income and distinguish passive income or pension evidence from other sources. The appropriate category depends on the facts.

Investment plans

Tell us what you plan to invest in and how the project is structured. Investment-related immigration questions require their own assessment; a business purchase alone should not be treated as an approval.

Student or exchange programs

We review your planned course or exchange, the institution’s documents and the immigration steps relevant to your stay.

Family reunification

We review the relationship, the family member’s status in Argentina and the civil records available to support the application.

Citizenship

We assess your current status and history in Argentina and identify the applicable route and evidence to review. Citizenship and residency are distinct matters.

The process

How we help you move forward

  1. Assess the appropriate route

    We review nationality, current location, status, family links, income or study plans and your intended timeline.

  2. Build a document plan

    We identify what is available, what must be obtained abroad and which documents need authentication or translation.

  3. Prepare the application work

    We review the information and supporting documents for the selected process and identify inconsistencies before filing.

  4. Follow up and plan next steps

    We assist with requests for additional information and discuss the conditions and future steps relevant to your status.

Choose the route before ordering documents

Obtaining the wrong certificate or preparing a document too early can create avoidable work. We help organize the sequence around the process that fits your circumstances.

Interactive guide

What brings you to Argentina?

Choose an option to see what to prepare for an initial review.

Income or retirement

Start with the source of income and the records that show it. We assess the relevant category before asking you to obtain a full document package.

Study or family

Share the course or family relationship details and any documents already issued. We identify the route that fits the situation.

A long-term move or citizenship goal

Your immigration history matters. Send your current status and key dates so the review can start from the actual record.

Documents

What should you have ready?

Start with what you have. The document list for your matter will depend on the facts and the agreed scope.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

Which residency category is best for me?

There is no single answer for every applicant. We assess your nationality, circumstances and evidence before recommending the next steps.

Can you guarantee approval?

No. The authorities decide applications. Our role is to assess the case, prepare the legal work and help respond to procedural requirements.

Does remote employment count as rentista income?

We review the source of the income carefully. The official rentista category distinguishes qualifying asset-based income from remuneration for personal work.

Can you help with a spouse or children?

We review each family member’s circumstances and the documents connecting the family, rather than assuming one application resolves everyone’s status.

A common scenario

“We want to move to Argentina and our income comes from pensions and investments.”
