#### Exclusions

The 12-month temporary-authorisation test and the 6-month rule for deductions are stated by ARCA; Argentine nationals lose resident status on acquiring permanent residence abroad or after 12 continuous months abroad.

#### Visas

Residence for Ganancias depends on holding permanent residence or on 12 months under temporary authorisations, so immigration status feeds directly into tax residence.
