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...

Here's a question for anyone who might know about urban roads: Has anyone noticed the exposed tram tracks that still run along parts of Las Heras in Recoleta and Parlermo? Does that mean this road has not been resealed in those parts since before 1961, the year the trams disappeared in Buenos...

Wait til they wake up to the fact that by photographing/filming your precise problem and loading the images to AI, you can step through a tailored solution, as if the guy from the ferret shop had come home with you, without having to infer from generic videos. The same goes for car repairs and...

In Valparaíso. (Or Montevideo before 1992).

The guy from the first place seems almost bemused that she is interviewing him and tracing the origen of this fascinating and unique product. His biggest seller? Why the ham and cheese, of course. (I remember in the late 80s seeing the ham and cheese version called the "Carlitos". I've not come...

Instalment 3 of an occasional series:

That will depend on your particular tax status in Argentina, and whether, if you are a tax resident, you do or do not want ACRA to know what money you are moving around. (If you haven't moved here yet, you probably aren't yet a tax resident, so there is probably little to worry about, for now.)

Do not leave the country without it renewed. They will cancel it if the system shows you out of the country at the time they process the renewal.

Good. That is the main point. The two sides of politics alternate in power and do vastly different things on exchange rates and on wealth tax thresholds and marginal rates. Their wild swings can favor you on one tax and harm you greatly on the other. This aint Holanda. And once you are in the...

Again, be very careful. The bienes bienes personales tax was huge (and the thresholds low) under Alberto/Cristina/Massa/Axel, but is currently reducing quite a lot, which is fine while the current government remains in power. By the same token, the Peronist's controlled exchange rate (when they...

Just don't forget, once you've signed up with ACRA to pay ganancias, you're also on the hook for the wealth tax (bienes personales) on any worldwide assets (but off the hook for any Argentine assets below a now quite generous threshold). It's commendable of you to want to fully comply, but be...

The ganancias tax law is quite clear: tax residency begins after 12 months of being in the country under the temporary residency categories issued by Migraciones (unless you spend 90 days outside the country during the 12 months). So, if you want to do it by the book, that is when you would...

Don't worry about it. So far, Arge has commented on three things and misread all of them. First by saying you said you didnt pay the overstay fee, which you did (and how can anyone not pay it?). Second by saying your mistake was claiming family reunion (which you didn't do and never occured to...

It seems clear from the video that what happened to Vos happens routinely. Lesson: there are vast quantities of foreigners entering the country every week who are NOT members of BA Expats and whose experiences do not get reported here. (Who would have thought?) So next time someone asks about...
