As for international/ global banking, each country is always a separate legal entity. Santander has banks in the US and Argentina. (It also has Spain, Portugal, UK, Brazil, Uruguay etc) and they do open accounts for non-residents in both the US and Spain which is good if you are an Argentine...

If you are just here as a tourist for a few months then Western Union like services, cash brought with you and your foreign credit and debit cards from your home are about your only options. You'll really only need cash for rental accomodation, 99.5% of the rest can be done with a card and many...

The only thing different on your two passports is (a) passport number (b) country of issue (c) issuing authority (d) issue and expiry dates. Your name, DOB, place of birth, your face and any biometrics you give are the same. Each country maintains a register of each individual person (not just...

All these points are fantastic, so why weren't more people using the trains while they were running if they cared about these points as much as we do? They chose to take the bus. (Point 2 - the track still needs to be replaced every 20 years, a 25 year old track can't be used safely according...

Ok let's do a math exercise...as keen to understand your logic that fares are not heavily subsidised: Cost of staff to manage, operate and maintain the line (20 persons?): US$50.000 / month Cost of maintenance parts/ energy/ equipment/ safety/ insurances/ overheads/ amortization: US$143.750 /...

And how many of said passengers would be willing to pay full price to cover the full cost of operating that line twice a week? (or if they just expect others e.g. tax payers to foot the bill for their preference to ride a train rather than a bus). At least Pinamar is still well connected by...

They will match your two passports in their system and know both passports belong to the same person by automatically matching personal information and biometrics. There is absolutely nothing wrong or illegal with using two passports (to avoid possible administrative issues you should make sure...

Would this not suit the vast majority of expat on this forum who have undeclared foreign income and assets??

Forget indexes. What was the real value (USD Billete) of what you were paying at the start of contract? Use that as a starting point. Then see if you can find other properties now with similar characteristics for a similar price or not. (If none or few listings are available in your town, use a...

This brought about a flashback to 2019... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Argentina,_Paraguay_and_Uruguay_blackout (Am pretty sure made a comment along the lines of "only in Argentina..." which can now be shelved)

Same thing with Personal/ Telecom… just call and say you’re going to move to another provider and they will give you a big discount. This even worked with Club La Nación, when I cancelled they offered a 90% discount to the subscription.

Argentina doesn’t recognize US S Corporations as a special category of company, this concept doesn’t exist under Argentine company law. How the US treats taxable income of an S Corp is irrelevant, there is not even a DTA between Argentina and the US.

A tourism deficit is not ideal but it beats the alternative of oppression. Millions of Argentines traveling abroad is not a bad thing, they have every right on earth to do so (just like any expat who found their way to their country). How would you like it if Australia (or wherever you are...

The law in Argentina is similar to that in your own country - like most others - as to having specific requirements that determine whether a company a tax resident or not and the mere presence and roles of its final beneficiaries have a lot to do with it. Where a companies clients are located...

If your business will be managed from Argentina or meet any other residency requirements, even if incorporated in the USA, it will need to register for and pay taxes in Argentina and so will any resident beneficiaries. Would not do it unless you already have someone you can trust to navigate the...
