Rentista update 26Apr2024: you almost certainly will need a Public Accountant (Contador Publico) to write a certification/verification letter for the Rensista process, at least in Cordoba Province. 2 things the Supervisor there was very concerned about me proving:
1. that the money is "Fixed" (fijo) and will last 1-2 years.
2. that the CPA you hire for $100 USD or so will calculate your monthly income in Pesos from Dollars, and give their word that the amount is greater than the monthly minimum wage x 5.
basically, it's a lie, because no one can guarantee anything is Fixed, other than maybe a Pension/Retirement. rental properties, savings account, interest dividends, etc. - all of these can be changed in a day, but Migraciones really is scrutinizing the Rentista. this is strange, because many of the lawyers i consulted said Rentista was easier for them, because it's much less common than the thousands of Student Residencies, etc. that most people apply for. and there isn't a lot of people who are willing to show Argentina that they are making money, since Argentina taxes are so spooky and dangerous to declare income to.
but, it's a lie you need to pay a hundred bucks for, on top of the apostilles, legalization, translation, etc. so they can be more likely to approve a Precaria so you can get a 1-year Temporary Residency.
