Anyone know if there's a similar xoom service with these sorts of rates for non US residents? I suppose the other option is to go to Uruguay or Chile and extract US dollars from your European bank account.

Let's say I had a business making pesos in Argentina, all taxes paid completely en "blanco", how much of the revenue or profit from that business would I be permitted to change legally to dollars? Would it be 25% like they allow of people's wages? Also for businesses that rely on importing...

I just got my DNI approved, should have it soon.. if you have a new British passport there's no need to get it translated and waste money - I was told this by the guy at migrations on the day they approved my visa - you can see there'll be a page inside your passport with various languages. I...

..by the way, Argentina Residency may also be good, but the quote they gave me was extremely high.. You could probably do it on your own as it's pretty easy but nice to have a at least someone to help you a little along the way.

I've just got my residencia precaria - after getting all the necessary paperwork, I went with my lawyer to immigrations - they checked it for about ten minutes and issued the residency. Seemed very easy, was expecting to wait for hours (he had made me a cita a couple of weeks before). They said...

Well even for those that declare their full income in blanco it's still pretty difficult to travel as they can only change 25% of their salary to dollars. I think they're trying to clamp down on people using their credit cards to travel, as that's one thing as of yet they can't control. They are...

On the new 100 notes being printed they have removed the part saying it is legally exchangeable, something like that - someone pointed this out to me yesterday and seems there's a lot of people talking about it. Have a look for yourself on a new and old note.

I worked in events for a place in Palermo with a huge garden and bar. It's a great space - called Chalmers - Niceto Vega 5248. Speak to Jorge, (say you're a friend of Ed) - they should be pretty flexible in working something out but any issues send me a message.

Yes it is an implanted population just like the majority of Argentina. That is another clumsy hypocritical statement made by Timmerman or Kirchner, much like the colonialist statements.

I wonder how this will end.. if the current inflation continues in a couple of years prices will be getting really absurd. Seems though that Christina will continue hemorrhaging the economy to make sure it doesnt run it's natural course to a major devaluation whilst she's in power. Where else...

I liked the responses of Finthorpe in the comments section of the article, especially this - "Despite the fact that over 95% of argentines are the direct descendants of white Europeans brought in from Europe and intentionally implanted onto land recently stolen from the natives, they still feel...

I think the main issue is buenos aires. I just moved to cordoba after 5 years in ba and find it much nicer in every way, from the people to the nightlife, music scene and amazing countryside an hour away.. makes me wonder why I didn't move here sooner..

Do you think if it came to the UN forcing to give the islands back to the Argentines, they would also tell Argentina to give the land stolen by their European ancestors back to the original tribes (like the Mapuches)? It seems like the same thing. They say something about the people of the...

You must try their famous Chasco Mousse it's a a delicacy.

you know what's going to happen next the way things are going, CFK will introduce a law making it illegal for companies to close down without her permission! Then she'll fine companies that don't make enough profit!

Yeah i was there recently with arg pesos - the average they give you is about 3.30 uruguayas to an Argentine peso (it's a miserable rate everywhere as no one wants to be stuck with arg pesos right now), then it's around 19.50 uruguayos to one us dollar. So they'll charge you something around...

I'm a trumpet player and we're putting together a new project for a triphop/ funk/ old school instrumental hip hop/ soul/ reggae fusion band in Buenos Aires. Influences include James Brown, Mr Scruff, Quantic, Thievery Corporation, Calle 13, Gorillaz, Wax Tailor, Jamiroquai, Lee Perry, Buena...

I got sent my ABL a month or so ago, seemed pretty much the same and i got the option to pay the whole year in one go, so doesnt look like they're changing it yet in villa crespo

You shouldnt have a problem. The same happened to me and when i left Argentina i just showed the official police form that showed i'd lost my passport.

It's interesting reading the comments and arguments underneath article, written by English and Argentine people who seem to have a very good knowledge of the history of the falklands/ malvinas... One guy wrote "You inherited nothing from Spain. You fought a war of independence! You can't fight...
