Ceviche, You've been frighteningly misguiding readers on what a member of a Bar in country 'A' is permitted or not to do in countries 'B' to 'Z'. Everything you've been saying is wrong and if followed would risk uninformed people getting themselves in deep criminal trouble not just in Arg but...

Anna-Belz, If you're a member of the Bar in NZ, contact its parallel in Arg for information. Settle for nothing less than that. NZ is a common-law jurisdiction based in English law . Arg is a civil law country like Spain and France whose systems derive from Roman law. You'd need to...

Big Al, Every lawyer accountable to his governing professional body in his country or jurisdiction is under a duty to conduct himself as Bajo_Cero has just done here - in accordance with its set of comprehensive ethics' standards. This has been obligatory since at least the 1870s -eg. in...

I posted because Steve wasn't sure if Arg enforced the monetary requirement of depositing a certain sum of foreign money monthly into a peso account in connection with getting temporary residency, and I could answer that it did and affirm the sum required since I've dealt with both Arg and an...

Steve, In reference to Argentine requirements for obtaining temporary residency as pensioners, I can say that in 2011 its Montreal consulate told my husband that we (Canadian/UK citizens living in Canada) could apply from Canada and that we'd have to prove our regular monthly Canadian pension...

I'm not and don't even have to be Roman Catholic to highly respect this Pope. He fired the Vatican's banker.

Thank you so much, lacoqueta. I've been trying to get a solid answer to this for months!

No tipping in France. Tax and service are included in the advertised cost of each menu item. Waiters are professionals for life, not for some summer job. They're paid a living wage. Customers can leave just their change from their bills if they wish. Nail salon technicians and spa services are...

Has Argentine Immigration law recently shortened the period of time that a permanent resident can be outside Argentina without losing his PR status? AN ARCA's website's FAQ page under a question about Argentine taxation also seems to say that to maintain one's status as a permanent resident...

I've been a long-term residential tenant almost my whole life as a legal resident each time in one of 4 countries. (Not counting several 1-3 month temporary rentals in 5 other countries.) I raised my son from birth in rented houses and apartments. Whatever country or legal system you're living...

In mid-2012, we had to make a sudden decision in Canada to retire to Argentina or to a city in France. On Numbeo, I compared 4 possible cities first with our Canadian one and then with one another. BA would cost 20% less than our city. One of the French cities we were considering would cost 5%...

Sergio, had you asked me this about living in England, I'd say, 'no way! I will never be able to afford to live there again!" France is different. It depends vey much on where you choose to live in France and your lifestyle goal. We came here wanting to live like ordinary French people...

Wow! When we were a month away from retiring in BA as new pensionistas in April/12 and arranging for movers to come, we were told by the Argentine Embassy that so long as all our furniture and belongings arrived there within the first 6 months we'd owe NO duties whatsoever on them! (Our plan...

The 'relationship' between Argentine Tango and psychoanalysis is that one never needs the latter if he/she does the former regularly and frequently. Most dancers of any authentic dance style that's rooted in a place's social culture know this. Dancing is cheaper AND more fun too.

I'd like to post a reply I prepared for ARbound but this website has since last year been stopping me from pasting work I've done in "Word" . Am I doing something wrong? I'd sure like to reply to the OP.

Outside North America, people relate to strangers in public. I prefer societies that do. Their social fabric is stronger. Had I been the OP, I would have heard the woman out once fully. I certainly would never tell a person that his problem doesn't interest me unless he were hassling me for...

I meant 'couch-surfer'. (Am starting to forget English because I only speak it with my husband!

Here in southern France soon after we moved into our place, there were ants in 3 rooms (not the bedroom, thankfully). They all came at the same time in mid-April. We put down poison traps. Four weeks later they all disappeared on the same day but returned this year and left on the very same...

"Mobilized" for "moved" or "relocated"?! I hope you brought all your working parts with you and didn't forget any.

I just noticed this in the OPs original post -that in a pinch he can live off his Canadian savings and head home to his parents if/when his savings run out That doesn't make me think he's committed to any girlfriend although he seems to know her parents. Worse, hasn't he seen the $CAD fall by...
