Visas Wish Me Luck

Was this your third renewal? If so you have to take your fingerprints again and a new photo. Once they are going to give you the last one and then you get permanent residency after that you have to get a whole new set of fingerprints and photo. And you have to make an appointment for that. THEN they will make a new DNI but many times people don't know that and think it will be like before.

Yes indeed it's my third year of temporary residency so maybe this is why! Wow this explains a lot!

I'm in. Legal. Got my pensionado visa. Should have the DNI Tuesday.
It was actually pretty painless. 40 minute wait for the appointment, and about an hour with the officer. Had to sign a half dozen forms to atttest to my address, parents names and nationalities, income, etc.
Then a picture and fingerprints.
And then a handshake and a "Bienvenidos a Argentina".

Kudos! Especially doing it yourself!

This is correct. Not sure why they do it like this but like everything in Argentina no rational. I asked my immigration attorney that I used and he said that the 5X minimum wage probably will not change.

You can make an appointment to book your appointment here:

Just keep in mind that they are backed up. My friend is going through this and she couldn't get in until mid July. Just book online and bring your disposition, passport and expired DNI with you and explain that your DNI never showed up and they can help you.

Congratulations @daveholman,

It's more rewarding when you do it all yourself. I did the same thing in Mexico when I got my permanent residency. I also did the retirement visa and it was crazy simple. I documented the process online here

Many countries it is very easy. Glad you did it so effortlessly.

Wow this is crazy detailed. Thanks for sharing. I always read your posts on the old forum and you were always generous with your time sharing information.
