Luján de Cuyo relocation guide

Retiring in Luján de Cuyo | Housing, Care and Residence

Confirm ongoing care and inspect the home before a long commitment. The residence income threshold is separate from the cost of living.

On this page

The short answer

Hospital de Luján publishes daytime hours and appointment contacts, while the selected rental is an upstairs apartment. Confirm the treatment, payment and home layout you need. For residence, pensionado and rentista cover different foreign income sources. The legal income threshold is not a household spending estimate.

  • Arrange ongoing care and payment.
  • Inspect stairs, bathroom and daily journeys.
  • Keep residence income separate from household costs.

Arrange care before choosing the home

Pensionado and rentista

DNM's current in-country pensionado service covers a regular permanent pension for overseas services. Rentista covers foreign passive asset income and excludes remuneration for personal work. Each service describes one renewable year, with category-specific evidence.1,2

DNM Disposición 3446/2023 Articles 1 and 2 set the minimum at five full-time monthly minimum wages. The October 1, 2026 wage is US$257.88 (ARS 391,200). Five wages equal US$1,289.39 (ARS 1,956,000). This is an immigration income threshold, not a monthly living-cost estimate.3,4,8

Dollar amounts use ARS 1,517 per U.S. dollar, the BCRA quotation dated October 9, 2026. Bank, card and cash exchange rates can differ.8

Care and an ordinary home

Ask Hospital de Luján about the treatment, current appointment, residence documents and payment. Mendoza's emergency access protection does not make every later service free. Read care and payment details.6,9,11

The selected apartment has two upstairs bedrooms and one full bathroom. Inspect the entrance, stairs, transfers and heating controls. This describes an ordinary rental home, not a care institution.12,13

Ask for recent bills and price food, travel, care and internet separately. No full household budget is verified.5,7,9,10,13

Questions people ask

What income threshold applies to pensionado residence?

DNM sets a five-minimum-wage income threshold. That is an immigration requirement. Price the actual home, bills, food, care and travel separately.

Can paid remote work qualify as rentista income?

The current rentista service excludes remuneration for personal work. Check the category that matches your actual income source.

How should I check an ordinary apartment for access?

Inspect the entrance, stairs, sleeping room, full bathroom and heating controls. Try the daily journeys with the equipment and help you use.
