Argentina (AR) — civil law.

Nothing on this page describes United States practice. There is no certificate sold to an investor, no administrative sale, and no post-sale redemption window in Argentina. If you arrived carrying US assumptions, read falsos-amigos first.

Participating in a subasta as a non-resident

Ordered by when it has to be done, because the sequence is what fails.

Well before the auction

  1. CDI from ARCA. Without it you cannot register an acquisition. See registracion-cdi-cuit.
  2. Local representation. An Argentine abogado for the file and an escribano for the title study. If you will not appear personally, an apostilled poder especial, translated.
  3. Zone check. Is the parcel inside the border security zone? Is it rural land? Either answer changes the transaction fundamentally.
  4. Banking. An Argentine account, and a route to move funds. See moneda-y-pago.

Before bidding

  1. Portal registration. Requirements for non-resident postores, and the guarantee or deposit required in advance, are needs_verification per platform — take them from the platform’s own reglamento, not from this page. See index.
  2. Diligence. Informe de dominio, anotaciones personales on the ejecutado, the consorcio’s `expensas` certificate, cadastral data, the edicto read against all of it, and the occupancy position. See diligencia-previa-a-la-subasta.
  3. Funds staged in pesos, sufficient for the seña immediately and the saldo within the period fixed. A postor remiso loses the seña.

At and after the auction

  1. Bid to a maximum you calculated, not to a base that looked cheap. See base-y-valuacion-fiscal and costos-de-la-subasta.
  2. Wait for the `auto de aprobación del remate` before spending on the property — that is the risk window for annulment.
  3. Budget the `lanzamiento` in time and money.

Nothing here is a substitute for local counsel.

This checklist is the shape of the problem. The details are provincial, they move, and a foreign buyer without an Argentine lawyer in the file is the buyer most likely to be a postor remiso.
