    Legality of repeated Western Union cash pickups?

    They are going to grab them off the street or home, process them, and put them on a plane home? Couldn't they just waif for that day which will never come and apply for citizenship to stop the deportation.

    That might be the flaw. I'll try sending 1 euro through and see what happens. Maybe rejects upon the actual submission.

    Western Union money transfer

    My credit card has no fees for cash advance or foreign transactions. It needs to be paid off immediately to avoid interest. You could do debit using the same strategy but I don't believe any debit cards are free from foreign transaction fees so you'll be into it for 2-3% higher than the...

    Western Union money transfer

    Register a new WU account under a different country that has no western union fees for the type of transaction you want. You'll only lose a little converting out of dollars but using a no foreign transaction credit card it is minimal on the middle currency conversion like 0.48%. I would get...

    Western Union money transfer

    A quite a few times the CCL had over a 10% spread over the price to buy dollars. It was a Dollars on sale for 90 cents. Has anyone here looked into a brokerage account to use the real CCL? You could just move it back and forth depending on the spread. Move 100k in to buy a house. Cash...

    Western Union money transfer

    It follows the CCL. That has been all over the place historically. Above, equal, or below it. Someone already suggested it earlier, WU yourself when the spread is favorable and buy dollars. Then in times like now you have blue dollars to exchange.

    Expat Tax Advice - Looking For Accountant

    Please share what you hear. I don't think it would be correct because the issue would be the earned income part. Investment or Rental income is easy, Those are sourced in the USA, taxable to the USA, and you claim a credit for those foreign taxes paid in Argentina. Income earned in one...

    Expat Tax Advice - Looking For Accountant

    The rate would be close to 35%. Doesn't take much income to hit that rate. You can pay with WU or Blue Peso so trims the real tax rate paid. Same with the wealth tax. If it is foreign (US sourced) income then you get a credit for taxes already paid in the USA. All the dollar incomes and...

    Make sure it is on the list. Most need to be 25 years old to be grey market imports if it is going to the USA permanently.

    Vehicle shipment USA to Argentina??

    Mercedes Sprinters, Ford Transits, Toyota Hiaces are much better priced here compared to the USA. They usually retain their value better compared to the usa. Besides the recent craziness in the us used market. But if you buy as a tourist it can't leave the border.

    Western Union money transfer

    I think you have 90 days to pick it up. You could likely cancel it prior to pickup if the exchange rate increases or keep it if the rate drops. I always did bank to bank where you only have a tiny window to cancel.

    Western Union money transfer

    Seem like the best deal at the moment. $8 Fee on $1,000 if you can have someone cash-in-store or $44.99 on $1,500 bank-to-bank. Does anyone have different fees when they try these transactions? If enough people try cash-in-store on the desktop app someone is bound to get a new promo...
