There was some uncertainty here regarding Migración demanding that foreign pensions be deposited in an Argentine bank as a condition of receiving and renewing several classes of residency visa. After my visit to Migración Antártida this morning,

To set expectations, you might want to actually physically receive your PR before popping any champagne. Today is day 449 for me in trámite - to simply to renew a one year visa (pensionado) with DNI. Because Migración is where the least competent sons and daughters of the K 'elite' find...

Simply put, speculation surrounding any Argentine dollarization scheme reduces to the reality of deficient central bank reserves. At the moment, BCRA has insufficient ARS, or other assets, to buy sufficient USD to run an economy the size of Argentina. And being a credit risk they cannot borrow...

You might want to look at the actual facts. Macri had no choice in light of Argentina having lost every court case in the USA. Paul Singer played Axel Kicillof as the socialist fool he is.

Because no sentient being can be so incompetent, I've concluded that Migración, when they're actually 'working', intentionally conjures up rules from the ether as one goes through the ordeal. It's Alice in Wonderland meets Idiocracy. I'm waiting / hoping that the new Interior Minister...

I have been in South America a long time. The 'Ugly American', and the corollary 'Economic Refugee American' are typically disdained. It's why I avoid them like leprosy and why all of my friends here, and in other South American countries, are Latinos, Argentinos and otherwise, who freely relate...

IMO, as the peso gradually strengthens in response to the anticipated fiscal and monetary reforms, purchasing price parity will decrease for expats converting dollars in an inverse relationship; thus raising relative costs for dollar based fixed income expats. The economy has been grossly...

Try María del Carmen Arguello. She recently finished second in the women's category of the Buenos Aires Marathon. She is exclusively a professional trainer working at Megatlon in Alto Palermo Shopping Center. I've known her for a long time. Top notch. Her number is: 11-6547-2003.

Two quick points: VA C&P benefits in the USA are not income of any kind. It is non-taxable compensation. If you categorize it here as income, AFIP will happily assess you. I use mine as my source of pension and have never been challenged regarding taxes. Secondly, today is my 401st day in...

Same situation as you. I was told that what is exempt in the USA is not exempt here. Income is income. But innocent misunderstandings happen and maybe you didn't know. If you catch my drift.
