I'm afraid I'm unable to comprehend your point about the distinction between anti-business and anti-capitalism, nor, I suspect, would Eva Peron. As popular and loved as she was by the masses, she was an uneducated gal from humble origins who regarded the wealthy and upper class as enemies and...

Argentine foreign policy - Ready, fire, aim.

What do you look like, who is paying, and what are your intentions... Just kidding. Occasionally, someone organizes an event and there is a thread entitled Expat Events. You might want to check it out. Personally, I would like to see more gatherings of (some of) the contributors here. If you...

I'm entertained by the efforts of some of the natives to demonstrate their facility with the English language and in one case the supercillious correction of someone's math. More significantly, I'm surprised (though perhaps I shouldn't be) how justifying higher prices for non-residents morphs...

The plot thickens. I am surprised that the informal rate has not increased that much. In fact, its declined since Nov. I have to believe 6 by the end of 2012.

1. Pointing out the arrogance of others is not being arrogant. Your attempt to turn the tables with a silly, tit-for-tat accusation is evidence you have no valid response to the criticism of your inane remarks that Argentines have loftier values than others. 2. I disagree that criticism must...

I find it odd that you cannot understand when expats criticize Argentines. It's not really complicated or hard to understand and it's not about expats being unable to adapt as you falsely posit. Expats criticize Argentines when the latter boast that their way of doing things is better than all...

Thinking out loud. Necessity is the mother of invention. Is there a way to avoid such high taxes. During the 15%+ prime rate;mortgage rate days in the US (1980s), I recall the legal gamesmanship California sellers and buyers engaged in to avoid bank lenders from exercising the due-on-sale...

Jingoism, pure and simple. Get off your high horse, Che. Your defense of the supposedly highminded Argen-tiny lifestyle is consistent with the well earned reputation that Argen-tinys have for arrogance. Admit it, Che. The locals are not living well in comparison to industrialized nations because...

No, you are not wrong, but I didnt express myself clearly so let me try a second time to make my point. I am not commenting on how the owner-seller fared with respect to local law. I am just observing that a tax totalling 14% on the sale of an apt purchased in 2007 may not be as oppressive as it...

However the geniuses over at AFIP calculate the tax, 14% is not bad if one has had the property for more than just a few years. There should be some cap gain and while the tax is not limited to the gain, it more or less is equivalent to cap gain taxes plus the avoidance of RE taxes over the...

It"s becoming clear that CK sees the acquisition of the Falklands as her defining legacy to Argentina, one which she hopes will enshrine her in the country's history forever. It's odd how wives of AR Presidents have had such an impact on modern Ar history. Eva Peron, revered as she was, was...

El Galope in Once

I am interested in the fridge. Need details. Please PM ( reply to mine).

Can one apply for a permanent residency here without a job ? What are the requirements for a permanent visa or where are they set out?
