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?

Had I known this opportunity was coming, I wouldn't have suffered through nearly eight years of permanent residency tribulations.

AND Cordoba, it turns out. You weren't imagining it. I was just clearing photos off my phone and found one of a trolley bus I snapped last year.

I don't think being in the country as a tourist in any way leads to tax residency. And, despite what Google AI might say (point 2 of Steve's message above), it's not actually possible to be in the country as a tourist for 12 months. However, if your precaria began in January, you may...

OK, but I think we've talked before, or if we haven't perhaps we should, about the CABA phenomenon of five or six quick food types (yet another media luna/criossant/coffee joint, yet another hamburger joint, yet another empanada joint, yet another pizza joint, more lately yet another Venezuelan...
