Transitory residence for remote workers earning foreign-source income; 180 days, extendable once for a further 180 days.
Argentina's Digital Nomad Visa is a transitory residence under Disposicion DNM 758/2022, created in 2022 to authorize remote work for foreign employers or clients while resident in the country.
The permit lasts 180 days and can be extended once for a further 180 days, for a maximum stay of one year. The current migration fee is USD 600 (extra-MERCOSUR) or USD 300 (MERCOSUR), and foreign income is generally outside Argentine tax scope for the duration.
This visa is ideal for remote employees, freelancers, and consultants from visa-exempt countries who want a legal, low-friction base in Buenos Aires or other Argentine cities without seeking permanent residency.
