Actually, the 40,000 is just a suggestion based on your last withdrawal, not a limit set by BNA. You can manually enter a different amount. If the ATM is stocked with 2,000 notes, you should be able to withdraw up to 2,000 x 40 = 80,000 in one go.

Yes, why don't you all concentrate on the similarities instead of pointing out the differences? You see, the polar night and the regular night is about the same: first, the sun sets, and then it rises. However, in one case it lasts for two months, and in the other, it lasts for 8 hours. Same...

I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as temporary Argentine citizenship. You're either a citizen or not. Are they aware that you are planning to work from a foreign location? Essentially, with a W-2, they will withhold your taxes, and then you'll need to apply for your foreign income...
