1. Argentina

Minimum Monthly Income Requirement: $500

Minimum Age Requirement: No Age Requirement

Physical Presence Requirement: None at residency stage but 180 days for citizenship.

Time to citizenship: 2 years

Argentina’s Pensionado visa offers one of the easiest routes for retirees to gain citizenship in this country. This renewable one-year residency permit requires proof of an outside source of income amounting to five times the Argentinean minimum wage, which is about $500. Interestingly, due to separate legislation regarding permanent residency and citizenship, the latter can actually be achieved earlier than the former. After 2 years of residency, individuals can apply for citizenship, and it is advised to spend at least 180 days per year in the country to establish their integration into society.
