Keep it mind that unless you are involved in a violent altercation (street fight, bar fight, domestic violence etc) the chances of being arrested or detained in the City of Buenos Aires are virtually zero. There are many good reasons to get temporary/permanent residency and/or citizenship but...

I applied for Citizenship (I was one of Dr. Rubilar's first few cases) in either July or August 2012 and it was granted in November 2013 (delay was due to my own actions in taking too long to get some documents from the USA). I had neither temporary or permanent residency at the time although I...

What occurred here sounds like Wire Fraud, which is a felony in the United States and you should attack the problem there. If you still have contact with the scammer, I would make it clear to him that unless he makes you whole that you will be filing a report with the FBI, advising the US...

Very important information needed in order to give solid advice on how to proceed. 1. Are you either a citizen or legal resident or Argentina with a valid CUIL/CUIT? 2. Did you bring the money into the country legally/ in blanco? Can you demonstrate the origin of the funds? 3. Was the...

The cost to register "patentar" a new vehicle is about 15% of the purchase price; the cost to transfer a used vehicle into your name is about 6% (in CABA) of the cars value (as assigned by the ARCA).

Unfortunately it does not work if you are within the A-K categories of Monotributo (monotributistas do not pay a separate IVA tax, they pay a single unified tax that covers all their fiscal obligations). You have to be in the "responsable inscripto" category which is where self employed people...

How "relatively" expensive a vehicle is really depends upon the model. A new Toyota Corolla starts an about $27,500 USD (base model, automatic transmission) and goes up to $33,500 for a fully loaded model. Keep in mind if you pay cash and have a business you can request a "factura A" and get...

Leasing is uncommon but not totally unheard of. Toyota has a leasing program though a subsidiary/partner. https://www.kinto-mobility.com.ar/share

I have two pickup trucks. Both are paid for in full so no monthly finance/lease payment to consider. Insurance on the newer and nicer of the two is about 181k pesos per month for "riesgo total" and Patente (registration) is about 5% of the value of vehicle per year. Parking is 150k pesos per...

Peron won the September 1973 election with over 61% of the vote in the first election that Peronism wasn't banned since the early 1950's; the military allowed Peron to run because the Montoneros and ERP were so out of control that they believed he was the only political figure powerful enough to...

This is a total misrepresentation of the facts as I understand them. In the 1980's the former Military Government was judged, the high echelons imprisoned for their crimes/excesses, and in the 1990's Carlos Menem issued a pardon so the country could move forward. From 2003 on the Kirchner's...

The granting of citizenship for people not born inside Argentina or born to at least one native born Argentine parent is ALWAYS up to a judge as the naturalization process is a judicial and not an administrative process. If she already has permanent residency and is now actually residing in...

Brazilian steakhouses are cheaper in 2025 than in 2003 when measures in USD ? That is absolutely not the case as Brasil has averaged at least 6% inflation annually in that time span so a $10 USD steak in 2003 (R$3-USD) would cost at least $27 USD today (R$5.67-USD).

Comparing what things cost in USD in 2003 to 2025 is not apples to apples as the USD has lost significant purchasing power everywhere around the world including in the USA and in Argentina. It's no secret that the standard of living and real wages in Argentina for the average person has been...

I wouldn't classify it as "insane", but it's certainly not a discount or a good deal for a high end meal compared to other places around the world. I co own a high end steak restaurant in an expensive area of the USA and we serve imported grass fed Argentine beef. A rib eye is $47 and a skirt...

The total price for two people was 154.300 pesos not including tip. Entrana entera, ojo de bife, proveleta, and a salad (lettuce, cherry tomato, black olives and heart of palm). Two bottles of water, a Coca Cola, and a small coffee. The Entrana itself was about 65.000 pesos. So out the...

I went to Mirasol en la Recova at about 21:00 Friday and it was about 80% empty. Foreign tourism is dead in CABA right now and Argentines are cutting way back on restaurant spend.

A unified and free floating rate is coming (as seen in the Macri days) as none of the RIGI investments will go forward unless/until currency and capital controls are lifted. The BCRA is out of cash and the music will stop soon unless the IMF comes through with fresh funds; one of the IMF's...

Be careful what you wish for. Keep in mind what makes Argentina cheap for holders of foreign currency is when there is an artificially low official FX rate that many/most goods base their prices on and an accessible parallel rate that is significantly higher than the official rate that does not...

There is no Orange County or East Orange County in New Jersey. There is a city called East Orange which is located in Essex County. East Orange is not a safe or pleasant city by any stretch of the imagination; it border Newark and has similar demographics.
