Pretty sure i'm not going to see any progress at all until Feb. Yay, January holidays.

That was a huge PITA. If the App is Argentina only, you'll end up geo-locked out of installing the app from the store. I had this come up with both Android and Iphone. Although let's be honest, most of the time you want to set your country to USA anyways since a lot of apps and stores don't...

on the one hand, you have a vaccine that has killed very few to very rare side effects on the other you have a virus that has killed millions and counting and more with annoying long term ailments like lung transplants. Scientific studies and billions of people who have taken a dose without...

So much here is done by whatsapp anyways. it only helps ot have a local phone number so you don't get ripped off.

Swapping between e-sim and physical sim is such a chore. i never got it figured out and workign well with android and never tried with iphone. Its not like you have both active at the same time. If you want an active US number a cheap flip phone might be best since you wont ever have to charge...

Even out here in Provincia de Entre Rios? Man that finger printing was fun. Random army base in Concepcion de Uruguay and me on my own figuring out how to communicate i need my finger prints taken for carta de cuidania. My looks will only get me so far in life.

Even if you get covid you should still get a booster. the immune response your body had to covid isn't predictable. However the response to the vaccine is well studied. Imagine this: You've been sunbathing and being a super healthy and strong person who this week, your immune system is a fine...

oof. new case means your witnesses come in again, you publish the decrees again, bring in all the paper work etc. i'm like sweating bullets here hoping my case gets processed and positive outcome in march.

The venerably ID-10-T error. I can't tell you how many times I get that one.

Brazil should still require you to have a visa and pay the reciprocity fee if you're a US citizen. I think. Now if they don't check, they don't check... but its pretty sucky the fee.

I'm just hoping mine gets all wrapped up without issue. My witnesses were called in and we replaced 1 with another.

if you are away from your us company home location for more than 180 days in a row, your us company can’t pay your SS taxes any more. That should go to your home location. Which means they gotta figure that out. That’s hard. No one wants to open an office in Argentina if you’re in Argentina...

When we looked into this back in 2018, it was like 10k USD at Swiss. I'm a little shocked that the price is roughly the same in pesos.

I looked at doing this briefly, the amount of taxes and fees to make yourself legal is oppressive. You basically need to have a shadow company in Argentina hiring you and then paying them to pay you. The shadow company will take a cut. The accountant i spoke with said you'll lose about 40% of...

the big measures for me: are hospital beds filling up? are the morgues running out of room again? If no, then its a bit sensational. Cases do not means deaths or severe cases.

There is a tax information exchange treaty between the US and Argentina from 2016. https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/tax-policy/tax-information-exchange-agreements-tieas I'm not sure what this means in practicality. Like this smells like "if you do some thing really stupid, they gonna...

Also, anyone recommend uploading my US vaccine record to argentina? I have sputnik x2 already and if i get called for a third (well fifth) dose (of whatever) that might be useful. whenever my third (or fifth) dose turn is called in 3+ months or so.

Had a few self errors this week. I sent the wrong thing to the newspaper to be published. That's not hard to fix. We got the right thing in the next publsh day but we gotta do another trip to drop off the paper. But I do worry I didn't do some sort of Castellano test while i had my 2 witnesses...

I mean, you didn't have to pay taxes because you never rented it right ;) . Argentina: The land of casual tax avoidance and no enforcement.

The CUIL/CUIT always follows a predictable pattern (Starts with 30? and ends in 1 number if you're a man and another if you're a woman). Although not all DNIs have valid CUITs. CUIT is like some paper work you gotta file at afip. I tried once when i was on precaria and gave up.
