A friend asked if there is a formal dinner, dance, orchestra in Buenos Aires. Old school style. I replied in the negative. He's in London right now and will attend such function at the Ritz Hotel. He asked if I know of anywhere else in the world that still offers formal dinner, dance...

I procured rentista residency 4 times. I'm not sure a self-drafted, self-funded, self administered trust will be an acceptable vehicle. In my experience, if Migraciones doesn't understand the nature of the asset that produces the passive income, they ask a lot of questions. Their ideal asset...

Any of the sociedades that operate in the financial district can do this for you. The commission is typically 5%. If you need a contact, send me a PM.

Selling your pesos to Banco de la Nacion in Ezeiza is more complicated than imagined. After a brief visit to Buenos Aires, I anticipated selling my pesos for dollars on the way out. This would avoid the time and energy of interacting with a cueva. I posted here and got a few nonsensical and/or...

Yeah, but any fees? Any observations about standing in line for an hour? That sort of thing.

Has anyone sold Argentine pesos at the Banco de la Nacion in Ezeiza? If so, what was the discount to the blue rate? Thanks.

I've always used Josefina Murphy. If you search her name on this site, you'll find it. She's excellent in every respect.

I have a voucher for British Airways for $140. Travel has to be booked by 11/1. If anyone wants it, you can have it for free.

You are overthinking this. The asset selection is not that complicated and it's not that important. If money is no object and you want a bulletproof application for a residencia rentista, buy some rental real estate in the US that rents for more than $2K monthly and use the rental contract in...

As a previous rentista holder, in my experience, the irrevocable trust part is irrelevant. Migraciones wants to know that a) you own an investment that throws off sufficient monthly income to meet the requirement; b) the certainty of that monthly cash flow is very high; and c) said funds are...

I believe that when you apply for renewal of the rentista residency, Migraciones will ask for a record of your monthly passive income transfers. That's what happened to me.

What do you think of the Google Pixel 7? I'm considering this product next time in the US in about two months. Thanks.

Most people would say the food is way, way better in Argentina. Personally, I liked the Colombian food. But the criticism is that it lacks variety and elaboration - the recipes are simple. Access to banking services and ease of financial transactions, Colombia is superior. Then again, for...

When a competent and successful capitalist opens a business in corrupt and impoverished Argentina, it's the reputation of the latter that remains intact.

The bakery Salvaje makes awesome vegan alfajores.

The rentista residency is not what it used to be. Compliance now requires the holder to transfer said passive income from their foreign bank account to their Argentine bank account on a monthly basis - at the official peso rate. Hence going forward, residencia rentista will be an expensive way...

What's repugnant about it? What's repugnant about "Russian women are not staying [in Argentina]."?

In my recent experience with Migraciones, as a holder of a residencia rentista, Migraciones is demanding bank statements that show DIRECT transfer of monies from my pertinent bank account in the US to my Argentine bank account. Your experience may vary, but it's possible the Western Union end...

Hi, I have to fly out of AEP Newberry in a week. Can anyone tell me what the airport lounge scene is like in this airport? I have Amex Platinum, which gives access to Priority Pass lounges. Are there any other lounges in this airport and what are they like? Thanks.

Josefina Murphy is the best. Speaks perfect english, reliable reasonably priced. I've used her for years. [email protected]
