Planning Tools
Interactive tools built specifically for British people planning a move to Argentina. Use them alongside the guides to organise your thinking, track your progress, and estimate costs before you commit to a flight or a flat.
A generic calculator can make a move look deceptively precise. Exchange rates, prepaga quotes, rents and official processing times move on different schedules. These tools are therefore organisers, not live data feeds: sequence the paperwork you have confirmed, stress-test several budget scenarios, and keep a record of what has been translated versus what is still sitting on a kitchen table in Surrey.
Route Planner
Map out your move timeline from UK departure to Argentine settlement across the months that matter most. The planner walks you through the realistic sequence — ACRO police certificate first, then apostille, then birth and marriage certificates, then the visa application itself — and flags the steps that can run in parallel against the ones that genuinely block each other. It outputs a calendar view you can work backwards from your preferred arrival date.
Customisable by city and lifestyleBudget Planner
Build a monthly scenario for Buenos Aires, Mendoza, or Córdoba using editable rent, food, healthcare and transport assumptions. The result is a planning range, not a live quote: replace every default with a current price and exchange rate before relying on it.
Checklist with progress trackingPaperwork Checker
Track which UK documents need apostilling at the Legalisation Office, which need a certified Spanish translation by a traductor público in Buenos Aires, and which stage each one is at. The checker lists every document Migraciones typically requests for the main visa categories, flags the ones with a short validity window once issued, and warns you if your proposed submission order will leave a document expired by the time it reaches the queue.
How to Use These Tools
The three tools are designed to be used in sequence, roughly six months out from your target arrival date. Start with the Route Planner to confirm you are planning a move you can actually execute on the timeline you have in mind. Replace the planner's default timings with current ACRO, Legalisation Office and Migraciones guidance before booking a flight. Then use the Budget Planner to stress-test more than one rent and exchange-rate scenario, adjusting the assumptions until the monthly total has a sensible contingency. Finally, use the Paperwork Checker as a day-to-day tracker for which documents are in hand, which are still at the Legalisation Office, and which are waiting on a traductor público.
These tools are for planning and orientation. For case-specific advice on immigration proceedings, tax obligations, or property transactions, consult a qualified professional who can look at the specifics of your situation.
Assumptions to Check Before You Rely on a Result
The defaults are editorial planning assumptions, not live quotes or a scraped market feed. Check current property listings, obtain a written prepaga quote for your household, use the exchange rate available for the legal payment route you will actually use, and confirm document fees and immigration steps on GOV.UK and Migraciones. If a current primary source conflicts with a tool default, the primary source wins.
