You are correct. I didn’t really care about that. In my case the side effects were also in the normal range (the arm was a bit sore for 1 or 2 days, plus light fever the first night)

Hi. I was in the same situation (tourist) and wanted a third shot (the first two i had in Europe a year ago). First we applied for the booster via the official webpage. However, it was very difficult to have somehow the first two shots registered into their system. In the end what i did: i just...

This is quite an old thread, so I would like to know if there are any changes regarding this. I (European) will go with my daughter to Europe on vacation. Everything fine with my wife (Argentinian) and she will sign whatever is needed. Question: what kind of document is needed exactly...

if he sets up a legal entity in the US, there would - also legally - no need to pecify the income. Or am i wrong?

Argentinians - outside the US - are one of the biggest USD cash holders, mostly stashed under the mattress; thanks to decade long misgovernment and inflation. The economy might be in shambles right now, but there are still many Argentinians with substantial wealth (properties, cash, foreign usd...

I have to make two trips to Europe in Jun / Jul. Prices are much higher now than same time last year (which is understandable given the current Covid situation and probably still below normal flight capacity). What I noticed though: when the prices are shown in ARS, they are much cheaper than...

Most of the laws here are a joke anyway. labour laws (no one is hiring), ley de alquileres (no one is renting out), control de precios to combat inflation (never worked), ”illegal” dolar blue, solidarity tax that no one is paying, …. and the list goes on.

one month ago there was an article on that in infobae. Not a single account opened so far: https://www.infobae.com/economia/2022/02/10/no-se-abrio-ni-una-sola-cuenta-bimonetaria-de-las-que-lanzo-el-banco-central-para-atraer-los-dolares-del-turismo-extranjero/

i think the possibility / likelihood to make a foreign account transfer correlates heavily with the real estate segment you are after (if you buy a 1m usd house in tigre, there is a good chance you can do this, if you buy a 100k usd in quilmes, it will be very unlikely)

How much do you pay per hour or day?

I am constantly looking for professionals doing some work in my house, especially carpenters and herreros. I am even prepared to pay double the normal price. However, it is incredibly hard to find them (and i am more or less well connected here.) A 100 usd though is a complete rip off here which...

In Argentina???? Are you kidding? For 100 bucks a day he better paints like Caravaggio

In my case - and that was in 2018 - i negotiated a price about 20% lower. Hard to say how much could be contributed to this direct transfer abroad. What you need to keep in mind: now is a total buyer’s market. There are countless objects on the market and very few buyers, very few transactions...

I think a typical transaction (incl realtor, escribano, fees/taxes) is roughly 6-8% of the transaction value. If you need to bring USD here probably 8-10% total costs.

Before i would consider the question on how to bring USD to Argentina, I would start the house searching process here. In some cases the sellers prefer to have the USD abroad. If you can then offer just to do this, then this obviously makes your negotation position even stronger. (In my case the...
