Visa guide

Retirement Visa for UAE residents moving to Argentina

Argentina's retirement visa (pensionado) is one of the simpler residency pathways for retirees with documented pension income. For UAE residents approaching or past retirement age who receive a pension from a Gulf employer, government entity, or international pension fund, this visa provides a direct path to Argentine residency without needing employment or investment.

الأسئلة الشائعة

What is the minimum pension amount required?

The threshold is tied to the Argentine minimum wage (updated regularly). As of early 2026, expect a threshold equivalent to roughly $1,000-1,500 USD per month, but verify the current figure before applying.

Can my spouse get residency too?

Yes, your spouse can apply for dependent residency based on your retirement visa. This simplifies the process for couples.

Is Argentine healthcare adequate for retirees?

Yes. Argentina has a strong healthcare system with excellent specialists, especially in Buenos Aires. Private prepaga plans (OSDE, Swiss Medical, Galeno) provide comprehensive coverage at a fraction of Gulf healthcare costs.
