Default Re: Ask TheMetetron about living in or visiting Buenos Aires

mason55,

I looked into that visa you were talking about. Apparently it does exist. You could qualify under the self employed visa or non-lucrative (filthy rich) visa. For more information you would have to contact the Spanish embassy as I don't know the exact details of either of them or even if playing poker would qualify for the first (having a huge bank accounts definitely qualifies one for the second, but it has to be HUGE). Also, you must show that you will have health insurance while you are there.

It seems to take 5 years after this to get citizenship, though Spain does not allow dual citizens, so you'd have to renounce your American citizenship or lie to them.
