Does Argentina have a digital nomad visa?
Yes. Argentina offers a dedicated digital-nomad or remote-work visa for people earning from outside the country, with a monthly income floor of roughly $1,237. Getting it is a moderate lift.

Asset-derived income only — personal work income is expressly excluded, so a remote earner cannot use it at any salary. Citizenship after just 2y residence. Worldwide income but foreign savings often untaxed; top 35%.
Tax for foreign residents in Argentina
For a foreign earner, Argentina's income is treated moderately. The country taxes residents on worldwide income once you cross the residency threshold, with a headline top personal rate around 35%. This is general information, not tax advice — confirm your own situation with a cross-border professional before you move.
From visa to permanent residency
If you're thinking past a year or two, check whether the stay builds toward settlement: in Argentina, permanent residency is reachable after about 3 years of residence. Naturalization typically comes after roughly 2 years. Immigration rules change often, so treat these as directional and verify the current policy with official sources.
Healthcare and insurance
Healthcare access for a foreigner in Argentina is easy to access. A mid-tier private health plan runs roughly $70 a month — most long-stay visas require proof of cover.
