I changed categories (from Rentista to Pensionista) AFTER having been awarded the Rentista and holding it for a year; in other words, when it came time to renew the Rentista, we instead put in a Pensionista application. It sent Migraciones into a tailspin, since they hadn't seen something like...

I go back to Lima every year, one of the main reasons being for an appointment with my dentist there (who most foreign embassy staff use), who has been caring for my teeth since 2012, labours incessantly for an hour (and with seemingly state-of-the-art equipment), sometimes more if the gap...

Are US Social Security recipients actively being targeted by ACRA to pay tax on that income? Probably not. Is that income taxable in Argentina? It will depend on personal circumstances. The answer is ‘yes’ if the person meets the conditions for tax residency under articles 116 to 123 of the Ley...

It all depends on what the agency that issues the apostille (generally, the foreign affairs-responsible department of government, or an agent it contracts the service out to) requires. So you will need to check there first. In my case, for example, the foreign affairs department will apostille...

The wording of the letter is important for the pensionista. They want to know it is a pension that lasts for life. My (state) provider has a generic letter for precisely these kinds of purposes, and it was almost perfect, except that it said the pensions it provides are "generally" payable for...

My experience with lawyers (and escribanos) here and elsewhere in South America, across migration, employment, taxation, and property matters: they will never give you a lump-sum up-front quote, especially if the process is a multi-year one, like a residency "whole process" (although I have had...

In other words, you buy a separate policy with Assist Card, or similar. I think they cover you for trips of up to 60 days. A one-year policy (multiple trips) costs only slightly more than a one-off sixty day policy.

Resolución-2407-2023 is an implementing regulation of the law: https://www.argentina.gob.ar/normativa/nacional/resolución-2407-2023-393961/texto The machine's explanation of this resolution was as follows: The operative provisions are Articles 1 to 8. Each serves a different purpose: Article...

I didn't say the premium would stop increasing; I said the machine said the "massive age-related" element of the increase would stop. That's because the machine said: "After 65, the cuota can still rise through the insurer’s general price increases affecting the membership or plan. It simply...

I received an email from my provider in May wishing me a happy birthday, another a few minutes later advising of the normal 2ish% monthly premium increase and then, when I scrolled to the bottom, the new amount, which was not 2ish% but instead 70% higher. They do this when you complete a...

My (paid) AI says it is a non-existent rule. It traced the Migration Law through to article 51, which apparently states that students have the right to work and places no limit on the amount. It goes on to a detailed analysis of the matter, looking at various DMN dispositions and finds no...

JJ is coming for 90 days. He's not seeking migration temporary residency, which is the trigger for starting down the road to tax residency. (Steve recently posted some interesting information about the administrative and criminal penalties for tax evasion. The current government has softened...

Permanent residents can once again spend two years out of the country without losing their PR?
