The second biggest country in South America, Argentina is relatively off the beaten track when it comes to popular expat destinations.
For example, Argentina is a hugely diverse country, with dramatic mountains, salt lakes, and magnificent waterfalls… combine these with Argentina’s cheap cost of living, and this South American destination is a perfect retirement destination for the adventure seekers out there.
Argentina is one of the most traveled-to hunting destinations in the Americas, with over 20,000 hunting tourists arriving each year.
And, if you are planning on relocating here, you will need a legal temporary or permanent residency in order to get a gun license. You must have a legitimate reason for having a gun, like target shooting, hunting, or in real cases of danger.
The cost of a license is 300 to 500 Argentine pesos and the permit is renewable every five years. There is no limitation to the number of guns one can license or the amount of ammo you can have for a licensed gun. Open carry is only allowed with a permit, but these aren’t commonly issued.
Concealed-carry permits are very rarely issued, and only with evidence of clear and present danger to the applicant’s life.
