What income, savings or financial-resources threshold applies and how does family affect it where officially specified?

There is no fixed minimum figure stated. The pension or rental/financial-asset income must be enough to cover at least the applicant's basic needs during their stay, measured against the indicators estimated by the Ministerio de Desarrollo Social y Familia. The official page does not state how family composition affects this threshold.

Can the holder work locally, run a business or perform other economic activity? What is the family position?

The official page does not describe a specific economic-activity restriction for the holder. A dependant of the holder may be granted their own Temporary Residency permit if their situation falls under numerals 1 and 2 of article 74 of Law N° 21.325.

How long is the status granted, what is required for renewal, what physical-presence obligations matter, and what longer-term residence direction exists?

A renewal may be requested. Retirees must prove they maintain their retiree status and present a document showing sufficient financial solvency to cover living costs during their residence in the country; rentiers with a Temporary Residency permit must prove, with current documentation, their continuing rentier status and that they receive resources sufficient to cover their residence in the country. The official source does not state the duration of the permit, any physical-presence obligation or a longer-term residence direction.
