Tourist: AVE USD 50 or consular USD 150. Rentista/DN: passive income. Citizenship: 2 yr legal residence (fastest in LatAm). Our service THB 7,500–78,000.

FAQ
- Do Thai passport holders need a visa for Argentina?
- Yes. All Thai passport holders require a visa. Two paths: (1) AVE (Autorización de Viaje Electrónica) — for Thai citizens who hold a valid US B1/B2 or Schengen C-visa, USD 50, single-entry 90d tourism. (2) Consular tourist visa at Embassy of Argentina Bangkok (Glas Haus, Sukhumvit 25) — USD 150, 90d single/multi. Work, study, residence: always consular.
- Temporary Residence (Residencia Temporaria)?
- Categories under Migraciones Ley 25.871: Worker (labor contract), Student (accredited university), Investor (ARS 1,500,000+ min in productive activity), Rentista (passive income ~ARS 30,000/mo equivalent), Pensioner (foreign pension). Filed at Dirección Nacional de Migraciones (DNM) Buenos Aires or Consulate Bangkok. 1–3 yr renewable, then Permanent.
- Permanent Residence?
- Direct: spouse/parent/child of Argentine citizen or permanent resident, or Mercosur nationals. Indirect: 2–3 yr as Temporary Resident → apply for Permanent (residencia permanente) at DNM, receive DNI Extranjero. Citizenship possible after 2 yr of legal residence (unique short window vs LatAm average 5 yr) via judicial process.
- Work visa & the informal economy?
- Formal work visa: employer registered with AFIP, contract, salary matches Argentine equivalent. But Argentina's dual economy (blue vs official USD rate, high inflation) means many foreigners work remotely on Rentista visa instead. Digital Nomad visa launched 2022: 180d + 180d renewal, income USD 2,500/mo, no local tax if <183d.
- Investor / entrepreneur / student?
- Investor: ARS 1,500,000+ (~USD 1,500 at blue rate but check current) in productive activity + business plan approved by Ministerio de Producción. Student: UBA, UCA, UTDT, Di Tella — economic proof USD 400/mo. Argentina remains popular for Spanish-language study and MBA (IAE Business School).
- Timeline & our service?
- AVE: 10–15 wd (USD 50). Consular tourist: 3–4 weeks. Temporary Residence: 3–6 months (much depends on DNM backlog). Digital Nomad: 6–10 weeks. Our service THB 7,500 (AVE/tourist) to THB 78,000 (Temporary Residence Rentista/Investor incl Apostille + sworn Spanish translation Traductor Público CTPCBA + consular).

Frequently asked questions
- What is the DTV and who realistically qualifies?
- The Destination Thailand Visa is a five-year multiple-entry visa allowing stays of up to 180 days per entry, extendable once per entry by a further 180 days at an immigration office. It targets remote workers employed or contracted outside Thailand, freelancers with foreign clients, and participants in Thai soft-power activities such as Muay Thai training, cooking courses or medical treatment, and it requires evidence of at least THB 500,000 in available funds.
- How is the LTR visa different from the DTV?
- The Long-Term Resident visa is a ten-year visa administered by the Board of Investment for wealthy global citizens, wealthy pensioners, work-from-Thailand professionals and highly skilled professionals, and it bundles a digital work permit, a flat 17% personal income tax rate for the skilled-professional category and annual instead of 90-day reporting. The DTV is cheaper and faster but grants no work permit for Thai-sourced work and no tax privileges.
- Can I work in Thailand on a tourist or DTV visa?
- No — any work performed inside Thailand requires a work permit or an equivalent digital work authorization, regardless of where the employer or client is located. The DTV is intended for work delivered to foreign employers and clients; taking on Thai clients or a Thai employer requires switching to a Non-B or LTR pathway with proper authorization.
- What most often causes a Schengen or UK visa refusal from Thailand?
- The dominant causes are weak evidence of ties to Thailand, bank statements that show a sudden unexplained deposit shortly before filing, inconsistencies between the application form and supporting documents, insufficient or non-compliant travel insurance, and an itinerary that does not match the stated purpose. Refusals are recorded, so a re-application must directly address the refusal ground rather than simply resubmit the same file.
