Where to Live in Buenos Aires as a Digital Nomad?
I would definitely recommend the area of Palermo to a digital nomad spending a few months in Buenos Aires. I highly recommend staying anywhere near the Botanic gardens as you get the best of Palermo while still having easy access to buses heading into the city center.
There are a ton of apartments to find on Airbnbs in Palermo and all around Buenos Aires. I suggest that you don’t overwhelm yourself by picking an area and looking there. You also won’t be disappointed if you stay in other neighborhoods like San Telmo, Puerto Madero, and Belgrano.
I recommend Palermo because there are many coworking spaces there. We joined Selina coworking and it was very easy to meet other digital nomads there, they had plenty of events and trips including yoga, soccer matches, and digital nomad meetups.

What about the rest of Argentina for digital nomads?
Buenos Aires really is your best option if you are a digital nomad looking to spend some time in Argentina. Córdoba is another city that I really like but it just doesn’t have the amount of things to do like in Buenos Aires and there are much fewer foreigners if you want to make friends with other expats.
In the south, there are plenty of lovely small towns but I recommend only going there for a visit. We spent 3 weeks in El Calafate and there really isn’t much to do in the town apart from tourist things. Being a digital nomad is just waaaayyy more fun in Buenos Aires. (If you love hiking, definitely spend time in El Chalten!)
Is there a Digital Nomad visa for Argentina?
Yes, there is a digital nomad visa for Argentina and it allows you to stay in Buenos Aires for 180 days. You can start the process in Argentina but it is better to start your application before you arrive in the country. The digital nomad visa for Argentina is very new so expect things to change and for things to be slow/disorganized.
