Working remotely on visitor status
Law does not say clearly for remote work
No express ban or permission for remote work by tourists. The immigration authority's 2022 disposition says the tourist category covers rest and leisure and does not fit people staying to work, which is why it created a separate nomad residence.
The route for remote workers
Residencia transitoria 'Nómada Digital' (Disposición DNM 758/2022)
Up to 180 days, one extension of equal length. Only for nationals of countries not needing a tourist visa. Proof of remote work for clients abroad (contract or income receipts). Extension needs income proof, criminal record certificate and 50% of the period spent in Argentina. No minimum income stated.
Social security
- EU/EEA coordination (A1)
- No
- US totalization agreement
- No
Argentina is not on SSA's in-force list. Absent an agreement, dual coverage is possible. Argentine contribution duties for a short-term foreign-employer remote worker were not established from an official source.
How these arrangements work in general is on the guide page.
