    Taxes on Computer Shipped from USA

    Hello Everyone, I'm arriving in BA in 2 weeks. I had some bad luck with my laptop HP Spectre 360x and cracked the screen. I'm trying to get it fixed before I leave, but the part is apparently on back order and may not arrive in time. If it's not ready before I leave, I was hoping to have...

    Any way to get Education visa but not for study?

    I don't believe so. The organization has to be registered with immigration. I don't think even a language institute would work. I think it has to be an actual university.

    Document Translation Of Original Or Copy

    Thanks Ben! That is great news. It saves me the risk of losing originals in the mail. As to your questions: 1. The requirements for translation are the same.

    Does anyone know how to go about translating documents if you are applying for a visa from your home country? If I were in Buenos Aires I could use the list of recognized translators, but I am doing this from the US. Do I need to send the documents electronically to one of the recognized...
