$20 for a chook 10 days vencido.

I transferred US$1,500 from my overseas account (i.e., direct, in home banking, via SWIFT) into my Santander US$ account last week. The full amount was credited to the account. Two charges showed up in my pesos account. As far as I can see, that is all they charge: 8,723 pesos in total. Com...

Correct. And the commission they charge is only a few thousand pesos, automatically taken from the linked peso account. (And, while they knew it was a Migraciones-related request, they at no point asked for the income source or the migration category. It was sufficient to have a DNI. They do...

This is interesting. Others who have recent experience with Migraciones might like to chime in now. As I commented above, Migraciones never asked me to apostille a copy of my passport, or any page from my passport. If the rules have changed recently, it would be helpful to the OP.

Migraciones (the department that administers residency applications: I have no knowledge of the marriage processes) are notoriously hopeless, but they do at least know what a passport is. In my long experience with them on residency applications, they have not required any of my passport pages...

This one was closed and taped up with a judicial order pinned on the door on Friday 13 December. Has it re-opened?

You need more than an accountant. The accountant calculates the amount and prepares the return. But you need another person (an Argentina tax payer) to stand in for you as the tax payer, pay the amount electronically on your behalf and assume the risk before the tax authority. The bienes...

However, you also have to find someone willing to be your representative to the tax authority and pay the wealth tax on the property on your behalf.

Whilst all the above is true, the Florida Street anecdote is just illustrative of how normal it is. Living in Recoleta, you will quickly discover discreet businesses (often an office where people pay their utility bills) that you simply enter and, instead of paying a bill, buy pesos in a booth...

The caveat is do not be outside the country the day your precaria expires. As others have said, once you have your precaria, you are no longer a tourist and the need to leave or renew that tourist "visa" after 90 days disappears. You can come and go from Argentina while on precaria status. Doing...

and the agreement can't be fully understood in isolation from a detailed understanding of each country's tax residency loss and acquisition legislation.

OK, good luck. I'm fairly experienced too with legal language, but even so was caught out by a drafting slight of hand in my agreement. There is poor drafting in mine that needs professional interpretation. And some terms aren't defined: the lawyers can supply their real world meaning.

Is that your reading of the double tax treaty or that of an accountant or tax lawyer? Be very sure. (When I consulted my profesional, he corrected my reading of my tax treaty.)

(Apologies for the multiple postings) It's a complicated matter, but conceptually we can simplify the steps. You need a Holanda accountant to tell you (now) when and in what circumstances a Holanda taxpayer loses Holanda tax residency under Holanda tax legislation. At the same time (i.e...
