Argentina Digital Nomad Visa 2026

Argentina offers an official pathway for remote workers called “Residencia Transitoria como Nómada Digital,” granting up to 180 days of transitory residence, extendable for an equal period[reference:21][reference:22]. The income requirement is approximately $1,446 per month, based on three times the minimum wage. While there is no dedicated long-term digital nomad visa, this temporary residence works well for remote workers, and many combine it with other residency options. Buenos Aires is one of the world's most affordable cosmopolitan cities, with monthly expenses around $733 without rent[reference:23]. The city offers excellent internet, a thriving co-working culture, and an incredible quality of life with European architecture, world-class steakhouses, and a vibrant arts scene.
