›Can Greek passport holders enter Argentina?
Greek passport holders do not need a visa to enter Argentina for short stays — which is a significant advantage. You can enter Argentina visa-free, apply for the digital nomad visa from within the country, and avoid the consulate process entirely if the program allows in-country conversion. Always confirm the current maximum stay allowed on entry before booking.
›Requirements for Greek passport holders
The Digital Nomad Visa assesses all applicants on the same criteria regardless of nationality. Greek citizens can apply provided they meet the following requirements:
- Income: Not specified — proven via 3–6 months bank statements. No official minimum; ~$2,500 USD/month typically expected
- Remote work proof: Employment contract, freelance agreements, or client letters confirming you work for non-Argentina entities
- Health insurance: Health insurance is strongly recommended even if not formally required
- Clean background: Police clearance from Greece (apostilled if required by Argentina)
- Valid passport: Greece passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay
- Accommodation proof: Rental agreement, hotel booking, or property documents in Argentina
Important: Documents not in Argentina's official language or English must be certified translated. Greek applicants should confirm apostille requirements for documents issued in Greece.
›How Greek citizens apply — step by step
- Gather documentation. Collect 3–6 months of bank statements showing consistent income above the threshold, employment contracts or freelance agreements, valid Greece passport (6+ months validity), international health insurance certificate, and a police clearance certificate.
- Authenticate documents. Check whether Argentina requires apostille stamps on Greece-issued documents. Arrange certified translations for any documents not in the local language or English. This step can take 2–6 weeks — start early.
- Check entry requirements. Verify whether Greek citizens can enter Argentina visa-free or need a short-stay visa before applying for the digital nomad visa. Check the Argentina embassy website for current entry requirements for Greece passport holders.
- Submit your application. Apply through the official Argentina government portal. Some programs accept online applications; others require in-person submission at a consulate.
- Await approval and enter. Once approved, book travel and confirm your health insurance is active from day one. Register with local immigration if required within the first 30 days of arrival in Argentina.
›Tax treatment for Greek digital nomad visa holders
Tax obligations for Greek citizens on the Digital Nomad Visa depend on your residency status and duration of stay. Most digital nomad visa holders are not considered tax residents in Argentina if their income originates abroad — but this is not guaranteed.
Extended stays (typically 183+ days in a calendar year) may trigger local tax residency. As a Greece citizen, you must also consider your home country's worldwide income reporting requirements and any bilateral tax treaty between Greece and Argentina.
Always consult a tax professional who understands both Greece and Argentina tax law before committing to an extended stay.
›Common mistakes Greek applicants make
Weak or inconsistent income documentation
Depositing a lump sum right before applying won't work. Argentina immigration officials want to see consistent income above the threshold over 3–6 months. Sporadic freelance payments or transfers from family members don't qualify. Start maintaining clean financial records as early as possible.
Missing apostille or translation requirements
Greek applicants often underestimate authentication requirements. Greece-issued documents — including bank letters, employment contracts, and police certificates — may need apostille stamps and certified translations. This process can take weeks. Budget for it early.
Not confirming entry eligibility before booking travel
Greek passport holders may need a short-stay visa to enter Argentina before their digital nomad visa is approved. Confirm entry requirements with the Argentina embassy before booking any flights. Entry eligibility and DNV eligibility are separate questions.
