Agree. The dolar blue / euro blue rates don't reflect the 'real' value against the peso. USD and EUR have been artificially strong because of the restrictions. I wouldn't be surprised if life for people that currently rely on Western Union transactions or so will get 40 - 50% more expensive in...

I get it. Apologies, it was mentioned before but I interpreted it wrong. Does this also mean that if I (1) Open a USD bank account here on my and my wife names (2) Transfer USD from a bank account abroad with the same naming to this Argentine bank account and (3) Transfer the dollars from my...

I don't get it. If I transfer USD from legal bank account X on my (buyer's) name from outside Argentina to legal bank account Y on seller's name in Argentina: that's the most usual bank transaction I can imagine. And to me seems to be equivalent to taking the dollars in a suitcase, declared...

I am going to buy a house here from somebody I trust 200%. He has a dollar account in Argentina, I believe at BBVA. Seems that the easiest way would be to just transfer the official price in dollars net to his account, and that's it. I do realise that this is unusual, since normally the to be...

Yes. State pension will be taxed in Holland I believe, employer's pension in Argentina. But I will read it again, it's been a while. Thanks for pointing at this Alby!

I have also noticed that I will need to pay income tax on my world wide income after immigrating here, including my foreign pensions. @toast: yes, since incomes here are so low, I will have to pay 35% over the most of my pension here, which is about 10 procent point higher than what I will have...

Thanks for the extensive replies so far! I must have overlooked the other thread, apologies. Maybe I should have added that - because of the fact that my wife has an Argentine passport - I guess I won't need to use the pensionado visa possibility to be able to immigrate here. But I got the...

Hi - I am 62 years old and will decide in the next half year or so between either (1) emigrating to Argentina, stop working and let my retirement pension start early, or (2) 'hopping' between the EEC country I currently live and Buenos Aires, and then staying a tax resident in my home country...

So we could end up with a comparison of current US society to current European (EEC) societies to current Argentina. At least the discussion started with the somewhat smaller comparison between LA and BA. My perspective is that of the European citizen. A few remarks: 1) Some already said that...

Since the start of the pandemic my wife went 3 times to Argentina, from Europe. The first time it was all quite new. The second time, June 2021, the flight TO Argentina was changed 5 times. Still she 'lost' less than a week. The last time, this month, all went smoothly. At this moment there are...

I think nobody can deny that by the regular measures, e.g. price-to-income ratio, Argentine real estate is hugely overvalued. The above is a view from a totally different perspective, 'just' comparing housing prices between country X and Argentina. On that basis housing prices in Argentina can...

As far as I know, (and at least for me) it seems to be better to stay taxable NOT in Argentina. Of course taxes need to be paid on the ownership of the house in BA, but being taxed over income and assets in Argentina seems very unattractive, e.g. because of the low threshold for the highest...

Maybe one moment we will put a little plunge pool on the roof terrace or so. We'll for sure start with a nice outside shower. But we'll feel great anyway staying the European winter in Buenos Aires! And part of the European summer we'll spend on some Greek island, always in the same rental with...

Don't be too optimistic about the proximity to Capital Federal. Traffic gets worse every year with all the new barrios cerrados they are developing in the north. And I wouldn't say Maschwitz actually has a town centre, it's too small for that. Apart from that all, I do understand people that...

Actually my wife and I have just a month ago agreed on buying a beautiful old house in Caballito, very nicely renovated. We know the owners very well, long time friends with the family and very nice people. I won't say we get a bargain, but this is not about return on investment. It's about...

I wouldn't worry too much about that Renzi. It's gonna be different than last year, with the vaccination programs starting to show their effects. @Jeff: what kind of place/holiday you're looking for in Southern Europe? What you've already seen/really would like to see for a first time? And...

Loads of information, abbreviations etcetera. Thank you all! I am trying hard to digest all the feedback. A couple of preliminary ideas/conclusions: 1. Good point about the basic choice to make between legal and illegal. I am not so much trying to walk an illegal road. My focus is more on...

Thanks. Sounds like all is ok as long as I am staying not more than 6 months so I don't become a resident. This global wealth and income tax situation, that's what i want to avoid.

Thanks Steve. Ok, the last bit you said I hadn't read before. I just understood that temporary residency would make a DNI possible. And since I plan to stay each year a couple of month.... I didn't know about the 'digital nomad' visa until you wrote about it. Just googled it and read that it...

Hi - I just registered for this forum, although I have been reading and enjoying posts on this forum already for years. My long-term girlfriend is a resident from Argentina, I am residing and working in Holland. My case: I am considering renting a house full time in Argentina from someone I...
