PS: Deending on the exchange rates, if you have a debit card from a foreign bank the doesn't change internacional transaction fees, using it at ATMs in Argentina might be better than making transfers using Western Union. It wiil undoubtedly be much easier.

Yes. Banks with the same name in other countries are not linked to banks in Argentina. As a non resident you won't be able to open a bank account in Argentina in which to v recieve the money. Westerns Union will always be an option if and when you find that you want to have cash to spend...

Interesting result. I lived in Nuñez for one year (after three years in Recoleta) prior to moving to the south of Provincia de Buenos Aires near Bahía Blanca in 2010. I would only recommend living in my area to those who seek a high level of peace and quiet in a natural setting, but few...

The lines still running:

PS: the link in my previous post actually indicates today's CCL declined over 14% from the prior rate of $1520, so it went up suddenly amd then suddenly dropped, while the WU rate remained unchanged: From the Clarin link: Compra $1209,60 Venta $1209,10 Valor anterior $1547 Variación...

I asked Google what tax rate applies dividend income in Argentina and the answer was 5 to 30 percent. I've never heard of income in Argentina being taxed at a 50% rate. I can only imagine the income threshold would be very high if such a rate exists. It would be interesting to know the tax...

Today (eleven years later) is the first day of my 20th year in Argentina. June 25th will mark the beginning of my 16th year of "country life" in Argentina, enjoying my present location so much that I have no desire to leave it for more than a few hours at a time, and never overnight (not even...

As Frank2000 posted in 2022 regarding paying the overstay fee/fine at the airport: Go to the immigration office, get the paperwork, take the paperwork to the bank and pay the fee, go back to the immigration show receipt, the immigration will print more paperwork for you, take the paperwork to...

Should have said "without a job or a retail business " and added that all of the personal income I have generated in Latin America has been from rentals and the sale of one house in Mexico and the sale of two apartments in Argentina.

I think I can say, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that resourcefulness was the only way to go. I left my last US employer (the fourh in my life from whom I recieved a paycheck) in August of 1969, just before the start of my sophomore year at ISU in Normal. I opened my first retail business in...

Adding to the above post which I made earlier today: On both Tuesday and Wednesday of this week I recieved Mercado Libre deliveries of 12 litros of whole milk (12 individual litros packaged in one box). I bought the two boxes of 12 in separate purchases with other items. As the total cost of...

You're welcome, Sergio. Perhaps you have already seen this thread, but if you (as well as many current members) haven't, the first post provides a more detailed explaination of how and why I chose the property I purchased in 2010...
