Registered attorney with the Buenos Aires Bar Association (Colegio Público de Abogados de la Capital Federal — CPACF, Volume 71, Folio 132) since 2000. Over 25 years of continuous practice spanning corporate law, investment advisory, immigration, and civil litigation.
Prior to full-time private practice, I held senior positions in the Buenos Aires City Government for six years (2017–2023), overseeing security planning, police coordination, criminal investigation oversight, and crime mapping systems.
My wife Tao, a Chinese national, works alongside me in our practice. Together we bridge Argentine legal culture and the Chinese-speaking business community — providing direct communication, not through translators, but through genuine cultural understanding.
Argentina recognizes four residency categories — transitory, temporary, permanent, and the provisional precaria. The right one depends on your nationality, your source of income, your family ties, and whether you file inside the country or from abroad. We map the fastest viable path to a DNI and, ultimately, to permanent residency or citizenship.
Up to three years with an Argentine DNI. Routes include MERCOSUR nationality, work, rentier income, retiree/pension, investor, students, and family reunification. The standard stepping stone toward permanent residency.
For stable foreign-sourced passive income (rent, dividends, interest) or a foreign pension — generally five monthly minimum wages, remitted through BCRA-authorized channels. Salary from personal work does not qualify.
A genuine capital contribution to a productive project, assessed on viability, traceable funds, job creation, and economic impact. Buying property or forming an idle company alone does not qualify.
A transitory permit (up to one year) for nationals of visa-exempt countries who work remotely for employers or clients outside Argentina. It does not grant a DNI and does not allow local employment.
No migratory expiry. Reached through arraigo after valid temporary residency — two years for MERCOSUR nationals, three for others — with sufficient means and physical presence, or directly as the child of an Argentine.
Apostille and sworn translation of documents, the difference between a visa, an entry permit, and in-country filing (RADEX), realistic timelines, renewals, and category changes — handled end to end, remotely if needed.
Permanent residency is not the same as nationality. When you are ready to naturalize — or to explore citizenship by option (children of Argentines) or by investment — our dedicated English guide covers every route, its requirements and timelines.
Under Decree 524/2025, Argentina established a formal Citizenship by Investment framework — the first in South America. Foreign nationals can obtain an Argentine passport (G20, 172 visa-free countries) through a qualifying investment in the real economy, with no minimum residency requirement.
We provide independent legal counsel through the entire process: eligibility assessment, investment structuring, application preparation, and multi-agency review coordination.
Initial consultations are confidential and without obligation. We typically respond within the same business day.
