Signed up to Smallworld, collected transfer with no trouble at all, no cuil or photocopies required, ciao azimo.

thanks for the info, the bank statement issue no big deal, the bank manager letter and getting it notarized sounds a real pain in the arse though.

9. As GS noted, you need to show the provenance of the funds for the purchase, at least to the escribano's satisfaction, as he/she is ultimately responsible for verification of the provenance to AFIP if they ask (at least that was my experience when I first bought property in BA in 2006). What...

On the few occasions that I have had to make a transfer from the UK I have used Azimo, however, have checked today and see they are offering only 16.09 to the pound compared with 16.88 (E4F) and 17.52 (Smallworld). I see JP has had a good experience via bank transfer but has anyone used them to...

thanks for all the help guys, much appreciated

Just before I came back to Argentina 18 months ago, I bought a nexus 4 sim-free/unlocked phone from carphone warehouse. When I arrived back in Bs As and before I smashed the nexus' screen to smithereens I was unable to get any sort of 3g internet coverage when i added my movistar chip. Movistar...

azimo is great for us brits, if you can bring USD all the better, but i would echo what frenchie said about having that sort of dosh lying around.

what is happening on that date?

If it falls below 12 im gonna be buying me some dollars.

It seems the market believes an arrangement with the holdouts is almost a done deal. What else could explain this sudden dip? Cant be down to just more controls and inspections.

I'm no expert so my opinion may be worth shit BUT it has risen 'only' 4.6 pesos since start of the year, can't see it rising another 5.4 pesos in the last 12 weeks.

I find these debates interesting but tend to stay out of them so as not to expose my woeful ignorance of the situation. However, after reading the news this morning (Argentina says solution impossible by end of the moneth unless a stay is put in place, judge refuses to put stay in place blah...

I wrote to Azimo. They said there was a glitch in the system. The rate has been adjusted and now shows as 17.11. Still not great but obviously an improvement on the 16.01 they offered this morning.

Azimo rates have gone DOWN for the £ after the blue RISE yesterday. Offering 16.01 this morning. Even for skimming a whack of the top they should be offering 18.

Thanks. They are offering 17.75 on the site right now. Will have a look into how they work.

Azimo prices have gone to sh!t. £ worth 16.03 according to them (based on the blue prices this morning). Was able to get close to 18 in Jan/Feb when blue was priced at more or less same rate. Have to see what they will offer tomorrow but doubt it will be over 16.5 (on dolarblue website its...

Talking of crazy salaries, I read that the people who work in the toll booths are earning around 15k per month. WTF?

Anyone knows if they sell such a thing here? Its for my father-in-law's golden retriever and I just don't have the time to make one for them this week.

I was wondering if anyone has been to the races here in Buenos Aires. I believe that the main track is in San Isidro and I would like to take my 18 year old son along one day. The only problem is that he is in a wheelchair and I wanted to know if the course is setup with access for him to get...

Does your bank here not ask where the funds come from? I once had to get receive a bank transfer a few years ago (Santander Rio) and it was a major headache.
