Not sure who voldemort is, but I have used and recommend http://www.immigrar.com. I needed help for my temporary worker's visa both for myself and the employer's side. Technically we we could have done this ourselves (indeed the first time around we did do it ourselves). But her advice on the...

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm having another meeting with the firm I originally contacted, if we don't reach an agreement I may followup on the suggestions here.

One of the sources for this was actually a high profile accountancy firm in microcentro, but the price tag for a one off assessment seemed too high, I don't need an accountant year-round right now, just some tax planning advice.

I am looking for an accountant with some experience of expat issues (foreign investments / assets, holding companies abroad). So far I've found either people who have no idea what they're talking about, or others who charge outrageous fees. If anyone has someone to recommend I'd be very...

Using a non argentine card in banelco machines I can usually withdraw 2400 although some individual machines differ ... but I can use the card twice in succession, so, I can get up to 4800 at a time.

Do you know if any forms or documentation must be completed in order to receive the funds?

Juan, thanks for sharing, it's good to know someone who has gone through the whole process. Although, I think I'd be more worried about the ganancias than the paperwork if I went over the limit hehe. I'll try Galicia and ICBC later this week.

Well, I called Commercio al Exterior HSBC, they said as far as transferring savings to buy a house, just wire the money then call the same office within 48 hours. No f-ing way. I'm waiting to speak to a notary for advice in that regards. Comercio al Exterior HSBC seemed to agree that charging...

I have been told by a notary that I basically have to "convince" them. The same notary asked be for a letter from a lawyer or accountant legalized by apostille and translated and legalized here too. But I too have read that a bank letter is enough ... so I'm now shopping around for another...

Just today I went to the bank to ask about this. I was told that any bank transfer will be sent back unless it is declared. I was told to call Depto Comercio Exterior 0810 999 9090 who would explain the forms and documentation I have to present. This was in the context of both transferring...

FWIW I have been looking at properties for at least 6 months maybe a year. None of the properties I have been tracking have changed in price. Recently, on two occasions, I have been told by the estate agent at the time of enquiring that the owner does not want to negotiate on the price. On other...

You're correct nikad I should have searched more thoroughly, sorry. Thanks for the responses, I found out today that I cannot renew my work residency and I am questioning whether it is worth me starting again from scratch. At least knowing the above there is one less downside to being an...

My temporary residency is probably about to expire, to be honest the only thing I would miss greatly is healthcare cover. Ive visited a few people in hospital and it wasnt pretty. I checked with Accord Salud who said, without residency (even precaria) I have no plan. Does anyone have any...

I was told by an accountant (in UK) that I would be classed as non-resident by HMRC. He had such conviction as he said it, I'm sure he has no idea. From what I've been reading it's complicated & changing all the time. To be honest, I'm not too bothered about the NHS, I'm so little time in the...

I've actually been in Argentina as (an expired tourist) on and off for 4 years, and just ignored any tax issues as I am a freelancer with modest income. I reckon pretty soon I'll have residency (probably through employment visa), and what money I have in the UK I want to invest. The longest...
