After August 25. YMMV, but as I said, we had done things 100% by the "rules", only to show up and be told that "yeah, we cannot use the stuff you uploaded onto the system, it's only for the scheduling requirements, give us the actual physical photos and they need to be this size, etc."

Here's a quick tip that may help - about 8 weeks ago, we had to get Brazil visas for the family (US citizens) and we did all the scanning, exact size, etc., into their website. When we arrived, they still asked for ALL the info in print and told me that the online scanning stuff was a...

Here's my current experience / situation, FYI: I'm employed en blanco and everything is handled through work DNI and temporary residence expires October 2015, after 2 years. This is my first residence of any kind (arrived Argentina 10/2013) Was advised by company immigration lawyer that I could...

And please mention the name of that agency here. It will help all expats

Yes, went through one tax cycle already: Argentina => if you're employed here, your employer will handle all taxes from income (in fact, they just withhold and send to the AFIP). You also have to report on the Wealth tax (bienes) and you're given a form that you need to fill out and sign. You...

While reading this forum on tax-related issues, I found posts from seemingly well-researched folks (e.g., bajo_cero and others) that contradicted what my local lawyer and accountant said to me (which btw also contradicted themselves), so I decided to set the record straight for myself at least...

I could probably help too. PM me if needed

@annamaria, what US bank do you have specifically? BofA and others do allow international transfers without in-person intervention.

It's a good first step to post here in BAExpats, but since it seems that not many of us have your kind of experience (or maybe those who do haven't yet seen your post), maybe you can take a more direct approach. My suggestion would be to look up people on LinkedIn in your industry and/or similar...

I guess it depends. If your passport is entirely in Chinese, then I could see them wanting to translate it if there are notes in it. Re: the database, there are several -- FBI, Scotland Yard, etc., have their own if you've been up to funny business. I would imagine they don't share this with the...

Happy to report I picked up my new ARG license this morning. Got an email over the weekend telling me it was ready for pick-up.

Here's a report on my experience today in getting an ARG driver's license in Provincia (GBA Zona Norte, Olivos). Note this is not the same process for Capital, which is more restrictive As background, I have been in BA for 1.5 yrs now with a temporary DNI (they don't give you a permanent DNI at...

www.mercadolibre.com.ar (Disclaimer -- I work for MercadoLibre ;-) However, your main issue will be regarding payment as MercadoLibre (and all other retailers such as Fallabella, Garbarino, Mundo del Juguete, Apio Verde) mainly if not solely, accept local credit cards (and other local payment...

I received the 35% credit back. So did many others at my company. However, we are all in "relacion dependencia" (we're not monotributistas). Note that it does not exactly result in paying at the official rate, because technically you have to include the impact of inflation on the money that you...

Would love to join, but tough for me during the work week. Weekend would be easier -- pls consider doing some then!

I can recommend Tamara Kaslin <[email protected]> from Remax. She's at 15-4178-1828. She helped us when we first got here and worked hard to get us things that fit our needs and wants. She speaks good English -- lived in Miami for a number of years, so also understands expat expectations...

It depends on the riskiness of the monthly $12K pesos and of getting your principal back after 12 months. With #1, you can probably get 5% appreciation with a mutual fund. So principal is $20K USD and interest $1K USD with high probability With #2, there is a high chance of ARS devaluation...

@rose14, could you please post more details on this (e.g., official name of certificate) and if possible a scrubbed/sanitized photo of it? This is very interesting information ...

You have not yet made him less profitable as he will just scam the next unaware foreigner, with rinse and repeat. The real way to limit his unethical practice is to reveal his identity on a public forum such as this. Wait until you have no more dealings with him and then let the world know about...

There is no KBB-type of guide that I'm aware of. The closest would be what the government values the car when you pay your taxes (http://www.dnrpa.gov.ar/valuacion/cons_valuacion.php). Market prices are what you see on MercadoLibre (though some listings are bait-and-switch, beware!) and you...
