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...

It's certainly possible. Elections around here do seem to be being decided by small margins. Macri's victory in 2015 was fairly narrow in the end. Colombia on Sunday. Lula didn't win by that much in an election of 120 million votes. The last three Peruvian elections have each been decided by...

The dynamic duo, working in tandem again, this time to wish numbers down rather than up.

I'm looking around at my belongings now and doing the math. 43,000 pesos per month forever doesn't add up. Nor then does spending 43,000 to save 10,000. Very helpful discussion.

It's a good reminder. I bought the Santander policy as I needed something to stop them charging me the account keeping fee. The building administrator says a policy additional to the consorcio policy never goes astray. But, now your post makes me wonder if the cost of it really adds up.

No, a DNI is NOT issued with a precaria. A precaria is a precaria. A DNI is a card and number you receive if your precaria becomes a temporary residency. That said, try Medicus. In 2020, they gave me a policy when I was only holding a precaria. I had to sign a form agreeing to tell them when I...

We think we value diversity and seemingly consider Argentina would benefit from more of it. Yet how many of us REALLY engage with the diversity that exists even in our home countries? If we were to ask ourselves to name top 50 lists, let's say of cultural figures (e.g., writers, journalists or...

When you talk to the accountant, expect the answer to go something like this: As you know, as a non-tax resident, you will have to pay tax on the value on December 31 of each year of your in-Argentina assets (i.e., your apartment). If you bought the property during the month of December 2024...

I don't know if anyone on this board is Anglo-Argentine. I was hosted at an Airbnb 10 years ago by one. We spoke in Spanish. But one day, her mother (well into her 80s) called by, and I overheard them conversing in English. And I felt as if I were overhearing a conversation written by Oscar...

My point was quite different. I was trying to say that YouTube videos are too generic for many specific problems, whereas filming your unique problem and loading it to AI can lead to spectacular results. I was never able to fix or service anything with a Youtube video (am not particilarly handy...
