    Taking Argentine Wife For Uk Visit

    gpop, My perception as a Canadian is like yours. The arbitrary nature you sense might flow from Immigration officers' own socio-economic demographic's beliefs and the culture they work in. Bosses have to keep them feeling powerful or they'll go on strike to regain 'respect'. They're not high in...

    Moving To Argentina For Love?

    Since 2012, there has been implemented in the UK a set of draconian British Immigration rules that make it very difficult for a British citizen of modest means to bring into the UK and live there with a spouse who is a non-EU foreigner. These rules have forcibly split families between 2...

    Taking Argentine Wife For Uk Visit

    Regarding the problem of Britons not being able to live in the UK, their own country, with their non-EU foreign spouses and children, this matter is now being challenged before the Supreme Court on human rights' grounds of a citizen's right to choose whom he marries and to have a family life...

    Atm Fees

    People whose home bank accounts are in Canada, the UK, and Europe have been reporting the same thing. It is not their home banks that are restricting their withdrawals and telling them they can get no money at banks in Arg. They check. One Canadian couple spent NOTHING. Expensive airfares and...

    Atm Fees

    I've looked at the link provided by 'r2d2’ above re DBK, a bank registered in Bavaria where its HQ is. There’s no way that bank managers in the 3 countries outside Germany I’ve legally resided in (the UK, Canada and France) would or could sign the attestation that DKB bank is requiring in...

    Atm Fees

    Regarding the German bank's card eligibility, I wouldn't be able to get one (to use in BA eg) as an UK citizen who's a full-time resident of France because: 1. My country of citizenship (the UK) doesn't issue ID cards to its citizens as France, Italy, Germany etc do; 2. I'm not a French citizen...

    Taking Argentine Wife For Uk Visit

    Because OZ is way too far from Europe ie. flights are expensive. (Great though if you'd like to visit Asia often.) To show you how much OZ rejects immigrants in the middle of a pan-European migrant crisis, the Far Right in Britain wants were it in power to adopt what OZ does! ('m British btw.).

    Taking Argentine Wife For Uk Visit

    I'm British + Canadian, and a French resident. I read vile condemnations in British newspapers about the French every day. I'm sickened by it. The UK didn't hate foreigners like this when my husband and I lived there. Oh sure, there were scribbled messages written on London buses' interiors...

    Us Bank To Local Arg Bank Transfers

    Ed, I wonder if you would tell us in which country your European bank account is. Every country makes its own banking laws. Nothing in the EU harmonizes banking laws of its 28 member states. So, for example, when a report comes in saying how a poster's Italian bank account is handling $AR or her...

    New Exchange Rate On Wednesday

    Serafina, Thank you tremendously for your info on withdrawal limits and prohibitions dependent upon which bank one has and which countries' atms one will be using abroad. I will be asking my French bank about its own limits in Arg thanks to your raising this detail here and your help. Grazie...

    New Exchange Rate On Wednesday

    Serafina, I meant to apologize to you. When I keyed 'quote' to your post -the one of yours to which I've just responded, above - it wouldn't 'take' for some unknown reason.

    New Exchange Rate On Wednesday

    Serafina, Do you mean banks in Italy or in the EU? Would you please name ones you know that prohibit use of their atm cards to withdraw cash from atms in Arg. I'd hate to find myself in BA penniless for 3 months. I would appreciate anything you know. ----------------------- I've been wanting...

    Many Dead In Paris Tonight

    Camberiu, that's not what happened re the French beach this past spring. I live a short drive from it. We got news that a Saudi prince would be arriving in 2 weeks with 1,000 guests -yes, 1,000 - to spend 2 or 3 weeks living in his villa. Then, a local out walking discovered to his shock that...

    Dentist - Should I Go Or Should I Wait?

    citygirl, 5000 pesos is about $US525 at OFFICIAL exchange rate. North American dentists have been charging between $US5,000 and $US7,000 for one implant and its crown. They also charge about $US300 for the panoramic x-ray needed before treatment begins. (Dr. Pelcman charges zero for this.)...

    Dentist - Should I Go Or Should I Wait?

    I'm glad to hear what you paid. Some of the prices I quoted are wrong. Your prices make way more sense. Mine included extra surgeries - commercial bone grafts, bone spreading and sinus lifts that are included in the prices I gave. (These surgeries were necessary, not cosmetic.) These surgeries...

    Dentist - Should I Go Or Should I Wait?

    I have all my bills from 2008-2012 for a lot of different dental work and surgery done by Dr. Pelcman including about 7 implants with crowns. In 2007, I paid $US550 for each implant INCLUDING its crown. By 2009, his fee for these increased by $US50 to $US600 for each implant and its crown. By...
