ok thanks, i'll let him know asap. btw is that you in the photo?

Really? He found a lawyer who supposedly specializes in work related issues (Ospera) and they said because he had an "Acta" against him then that was it? What else should he do? finding a lawyer is difficult as they all tell you they know what they are doing and yet clearly they don't! He is in...

But does the bien de familia protect the house so that you can still sell it later with no problems? I have a friend who went back for a year, when he came back someone he didn't know filed a claim saying he and his family had work for him for many years. They wanted a stupid amount (250,000...

Hi Bajo_cero. Why not? When I bought the house and business etc it was written in that I was transferring the assets to an offshore company. There are no restrictions on doing this. The only problem is that it is from Panama. even though the law here says it is legal they still wont! The house I...

Hi all, Hope someone can help me here, I have a Panama Corporation. I wanted to transfer my house, car and business into the corporation but my escribano says it cannot be done! He says he has asked in Mendoza but they see Panama as the "Devil" and won't do it. what can i do?

OK. I finally got the agent to find out how much was owed. By my reckoning I need to pay 1 1/2 years bond money as I got my DNI in 2011. So about US750. He said customs did not bother to get my file but came to a figure of 7750 (half value of container) + 5500 fees. He said if I wanted to do a...

Ok thanks for your reply. I'm mad because no one ever said the garantee was for one year. I have NEVER received an invoice for the renewal. if I had I could have solved it. The problem is now I only have enough money to get back. If they refuse me exit how am I going to live if I pay the customs...

I too would like to know of a website page I could go to. I had a reply from my friends customs agent. He said it was a shame I never renewed the guarantee and that I would have a problem If I left Argentina WITH the goods. What renewal? I payed when the goods come in. No one said anything and I...

It was a 20' container. I paid U$500 to an agent to get it through. Now you said that I do remember m friend saying they had paid money for storage charges. They are trying to get it returned (after a year) to the US.

@PhilipDT--haha....no. Nothing illegal fortunately. @nikad- I ask them. I defiantly feel they know more than they are telling me. Nothing illegal, it is just personal things, clothes. But I wonder if the customs agent they dealt with has said something. @Bajo-cero2- I take it that is in BA? I...

@phllipDT- I don't think I do have the receipt or anything else now. It was 6 years ago. @nikad- The company for my container did most things ok. I paid them to do the move and get things in. They used this agent in BA. Too many things for me to sort out alone so I paid a professional like...

I see. But what tax and how much etc. No one said anything when I bought It in surly they have some obligation to tell me If they were going to charge me? obviously it's not tax evasion so What else would they likely do? If this is correct then they haven't bothered in 5 years? Like i said, they...

No I was not going to leave with the container. Just leave Argentina for a while. I do own property here. People are telling me things that do not make sense to me. They tell me I am supposed to pay every year for my things. If true It was never explained to me and I have never received a bill...

Hi Everyone. I'm looking for some advise. I came here in 2008. I brought in a container full with personal things, furniture etc. into Argentina. I paid U$500 to get it through customs to a despacho. In 2011 I got my residency. Last year someone tried to bring in some boxes from the US and the...
