I think it`s just a question of time before things improve.

I didn`t even realize that being in the same category as Italy was considered bad, in this day and age.

Thank you ! Actually that is the subway lin I am referring to ! I am not in Buenos Aires now and am curious about the status of Linea F. How much has been completed and how much is under construction, ec.?

10 years ago Linea J was proposed to run from east Buenos Aires to Recoleta, largely along Entre Rios/Avenida Callao. Does anyone know, please, what has become of the idea for the subway line Linea J ?

Xoom sounds like a good option for people with US bank accounts, as the last I knew, the Argentine government was blocking many Paypal transfers. If using Xoom, I highly recommend not indicating that any type of 3rd party is involved. The first problem I had was when I had a friend with a US...

Thanks for this explanation mjohnstone ! I told my property manager all the info you posted above about the bank transfers. He replied that there is a proceedure that must be done by me to receive a transfer into my Argentine bank account, and I must be there to do it. (I have never heard...

The angry response suggests the poster feels it´s uncommon for bank accounts in Argentina to not allow incoming foreign transfers. Does anyone know off hand if that is the case, please? Yes, the response was angry, but I appreciate everyone else who has been so kind to take time as...

Thanks for this food for thought !

The problem isn´t just transferring money from my home country. I don´t know how I gave you that impression. It´s a major Argentinian bank. I don´t think it´s wise for me to say exactly where online. My property manager informed me that my account is not set up to receive incoming...

Thanks for all your kind thoughts ! This really seems surreal to me, but I´m sure I´ll find a method that will work for both myself and the recipient. I was able to open an Argentine Paypal account this week, but the system wouldn´t allow me to attach my Argentine bank account ! I phoned...

Paypal told me yesterday to open a second account, as my bank account in Argentina can´t be attached to my non-Argentine Paypal account. Paypal said I could only have one Paypal account per email address. Thanks for your input Nikad.

Thanks for your thoughts. I have a non-argentine bank account. My property manager just informed me that if I open an Argentine Paypal account, I could likely receive money I send to myself, without AFIP taxing it. Then I could transfer the money to my Argentine bank account. I´m keeping my...

"Was this PayPal account created with your address in Argentina? I still cannot see any option other than United States in the country field when I try to link a bank account to my Argentine PayPal account. And I cannot add Argentine Peso as the currency either." My Paypal account (the sender)...

Thanks for pointing that out. The sender should check off that the money is for remittances.

It surprised me how many people in business won´t accept payment by money transfer of any type. As for Paypal, my property manager has his Paypal linked to an Argentine bank and says he cannot receive money. I truly appreciate everyone´s kind suggestions, though, and will go over ideas with...

Thanks for your kind suggestion, but I am in Mexico.

Thanks, I´ve heard Xoom is very good, but I have no US connections. Also, I wonder if the recipient wouldn´t get taxed on Xoom payments ? Perhaps it´s a good method for US people.

Thanks so much for your kind offer but I won´t be in Buenos Aires soon to attend coffee chat.

Interesting !May I ask whether your Paypal is connected to an Argentinian bank?

No, they are not asking for payment in cybercurrencies. They want payment in cash, but I am far from Argentina now and cybercurrencies are what came to mind, though I get the impression that they can be complicated to learn. I was thinking I might have to pay my property manager in cyber...
