Yes! About taking out the money in cash, I know i can leave the country with up to 10k in dollars. Firstly, I don't really feel comfortable travelling with so much money on myself (but I guess I could if it was the only option). Secondly, I'd have to get those dollars somewhere anyhow.... I'd...

I am looking to trade pesos (~250K) from my local Argie bank account (Galicia) in return for USD or EURO transferred to either my US or European bank account. I would like to trade with local resident expats, whom I can meet up to discuss this, can trust, and do the transfers together online. I...

Hi ben, I'm still young and don't have much money yet, so this 10-15k USD is a lot for me. Thanks for the advice, I'll make a post shouting out to residents who need pesos, and see who replies.

Really appreciate all the help, thanks again.

Yes, the money is the only thing delaying my departure. Since intl transfers can't be done via internet banking, I have to be physically present until I resolve this. I'll talk with Galicia. If that doesn't work, there's also someone on this forum who has pounds and needs peso, and contacted...

What is the paid package? I'll pay whatever is necessary to have the account in USD. Thanks for all the advice!

I see. We're talking sending 10k-15K USD. I don't want to trade with a stranger who I don't know, because I have no certainty he/she won't simply just run off with the money. I've had my Galicia account for now 6 months.

But the bank let me do the transfer? Will it just not go through? Do you know if I can get a USD account with Galicia with a temporary residency visa (I have a DNI)? They have refused me this service when I asked. I may have to move to another bank which lets me do this. Is Santander Rio, or...

I was aware of carnaval, but not of the strikes.... I guess this is normal then. I'll be patient and see.

Hi Comodoro, I went to the bank and filled out this intl transfer form they ask to fill out (info about both accounts, intermediate bank, etc). I triple checked everything with the agent, and then she signed the papers, and told me it would be processed. That was on February 7th. Since then...

Hi nikad, I have a question about intl transfer with Banco Galicia. I've been trying to do one, which was approved, but two weeks have gone past and the money hasn't even been deducted from my account. Have you ever had difficulties with intl transfer with Galicia? How long does it take to...

I did an international transfer from my Argie peso account with Banco Galicia to an account in Europe, 15 days ago. The money hasn't even been deducted from my Galicia account. ??? Does anyone know how long it takes? Is this normal? If a legal normal bank transfer can't even work (idk why it...

Hi comodoro - could you elaborate on that? what tax bracket would I fall into?

And I believe I won't have to declare my upcoming American income to the AFIP since I am a permanent resident in the USA and am officially leaving Argentina.

And it looks as though I won't have to file anything to the AFIP: "The tax year for individuals is the calendar year. Individuals whose sole income is in the form of employee compensation are not required to file an individual income tax return for the year. Instead, their employers are...
