What are the visa & residency requirements in Argentina?

"In order to visit Argentina, citizens of most countries must obtain a tourist visa prior to arrival. The cost and length of the visa depend on the visitor's nationality. The application for a tourist visa typically involves providing proof of onward travel, proof of medical insurance, and a valid passport. Foreigners who want to live and work in Argentina must apply for temporary residence. The requirements for temporary residence vary depending on country of origin. Generally, applicants must submit proof of sufficiency of funds to support themselves and family, provide a police record check, and have a valid passport. Once the visa is issued, the applicant must travel to Argentina and independently visit the local immigration office to start the residence application process, which can take several months," explained one expat living in Argentina.
