Wouldn't using a CC (at least one issued in the U.S.) have it count as a cash advance, which, depending on the card issuer, is subject to fees and often immediate assessment of interest?

Has anyone else noticed that they've started charging a fee? I used to be able to transfer from my bank account in the U.S. without any fee...

I recently did a transfer, and they did not look for stamps in my passport.

I am really sorry to hear about your brother's passing. It's so tough to deal with these situations (and all that they entail) abroad. I wish you the best!

Hi, some googling turned this up: www.salud.gob.ar/dels/printpdf/40 This link has a sample directive: http://www.protectora.org.ar/formularios-reclamos/formulario-de-directrices-anticipadas-derecho-del-paciente/3643/ The document would need to be notarized, and you'd also probably need...

This past weekend a group of friends and I made a reservation at Los Divinos. It's a well-reviewed closed-door restaurant/bar. While it wasn't my idea, after reading the reviews, I decided to give it a try. The only other closed door I've been to was one that Liza Puglia (owner of NOLA) used to...

Quite the low bar you're setting for him. :-) Anyway, I respect your opinion and your contributions on these subjects.

I never said any of that, and that's not my argument. What I am saying is that the entire system is corrupt. How you fix it, no idea. Investigate her, but also investigate Macri. Also, stop holding Macri up as being some defender of transparency and anticorruption. He's just as bad as everyone...

Listen to yourself. If you replaced "Diario Registrado" with "Fox News," you would sound just like the left in the U.S., as if the New York Times and the Washington Post aren't propaganda outlets. Just to reiterate, I do believe that the entire system here is corrupt -- Macri, Cristina, Carrió...

It is all political. The Argentine judicial branch is totally politicized. When the entire political system is corrupt, it's sort of difficult to be a participant in it and not be covered in lots of smoke.

I agree with you 100%, but let's be fair: Macri was also procesado when he became president. The Sean Hannity's of Argentina (aka Jorge Lanata, Roberto Navarro, et al) never give the full story. This is why you post your list, which conveniently neglects to mention Macri, and why people on the...

Yes, but as you've lived here for quite some time, you know that the indictments are political. Macri was imputado and procesado during the Kirchner years, and as soon as he became president all of it was dismissed. How convenient. We're talking about Cristina Kirchner, not Lázaro Báez. There...

I would have a hard time believing that Cristina was clueless. My guess is that she'd have to know, but that is far from proof. That said, it wouldn't be just the Kirchners. This is just how the game is played here, unfortunately. La Nación (Google Translated)...

There is no evidence, just rumors and gossip, which for good reason aren't admissible in a court of law. For someone so anal about sources, I'd think you'd post your own. In fact, there is more evidence to support the idea that Mauricio Macri and his family were laundering money...

It's been widely reported that he didn't have a media visa, and that he entered on a tourist visa. In the U.S. (at least), you would get deported for this as well. That said, no doubt they knew who he is, and what he was coming to do. Giving an objective view of the events in Venezuela...
