Income floor = 5 × SMVM. From 1 October 2026 SMVM is ARS 391,200/month (Resolución 4/2026), so the rentista floor is ARS 1,956,000/month (~USD 1,287 at ~ARS 1,520/USD, BCRA Com. A 3500 around 2026-10-08). Amount moves whenever SMVM is updated. Disposición DNM 1732/2023 (as amended by 3446/2023) sets the 5× SMVM rule and requires income from assets in the applicant’s patrimony; salary and other personal-work pay do not qualify. Own funds in foreign bank accounts may be accepted if lawful origin is proven. Funds for the requested residence period must enter Argentina via BCRA-authorised banks/financial institutions before the benefit is granted. RaDEX in-country application must be started while physically in Argentina (semi-presential). Abroad, a Permiso de Ingreso as rentista/pensionado can be requested through an apoderado in Argentina, then visaed at a consulate; that entry permit path can grant temporary residence for up to three years. Fee for temporary residence: 100 UMSM (extra-MERCOSUR) or 50 UMSM (MERCOSUR/associated); 1 UMSM = ARS 1,000 as of the official tasas page (ARS 100,000 / ~USD 66 for non-MERCOSUR). Optional preferential appointment: +50 UMSM. Minors under 18 on the same RaDEX family filing do not pay the migration fee. Permanent residence by arraigo: temporary residence for 3 years (non-MERCOSUR) or 2 years (MERCOSUR), with presence of at least 50% of the granted period and no absence of 6+ consecutive months. Naturalisation (Ley 346 as amended by DNU 366/2025): 2 years continuous legal residence with no departure from Argentina; applications go to DNM, not the courts. DNU 366/2025 has faced court challenges — see citizenship-programs notes. No Spanish language test is required for naturalisation on the official naturalisation page. Temporary residents normally receive DNI and can work under the migration framework, but employment income cannot be used to qualify or renew as rentista.
