I'm still not clear whether you made the purchase through ML and then arranged a bank payment, or if the whole process took place outside of ML. If the first, I would definitely either threaten to, or actually start the claim process in ML. These guys live and die by their metrics, and not...

Bear in mind that you're gonna need some sort of identifying information if you want to file a claim through Defensa del Consumidor. ie: the seller's name or CUIT. They might also require a Factura to actually process the claim, I know that the equivalent entity at the National level does, but...

Hah, it's a good point but I was just answering sneakrnet's followups. I'll do that and stop spamming the thread, sorry.

Yeah, the transfer it exists, has a number and shows as In-Progress but nothing else other than a mention to maybe the receiver (me) getting a verification call. Not worried about it, just curious since it's never happened before.

No and no.

I don't know then. Might have been hit with a random check. I'll see what happens in the next couple of days.

Ah, ok, I see what's going on. This is the third transfer in 90 days, and I think that triggers further review.

What are you looking to buy?

Bear in mind that unless you specifically ask for it, CABA will use an antigen test and the legal requirement is a PCR test between 3 and 5 days after arrival. Nobody will actually check this; you do it only because if it turns out you are in fact COVID positive and infected a bunch after...

If you're buying a property in your name, I'd be careful that the realtor isn't just having you use a "cueva" (un unlicensed money exchange) because you're going to want to be able to have records of the transaction. I don't mean the confirmation of the transaction on the blockchain but some...

Anyone triggered a bank-to-bank transfer in the past couple of days? I've been getting 24-hour transfer confirmations for at least a year but this last one has been pending for almost 3 days now. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

You can just execute a wire transfer from the US to Arg., yes. You will have to arrange with the bank with at least 24 hours' notice to withdraw large sums (depending on the branch, that might be anything upwards of 5-10k USD). Some banks will ask for supporting documentation regarding the...

There's really no downsides, although technically Normally the "Bien de Familia" procedure is done by an Escribano. I didn't know you could do it through an administrative office. There's no legal impediment as far as I know for foreigners to request the status change for the property...

Not sure what you mean by " if you aren't supposed to be making money in that country". If you are asking if the US cares about your legal status in Argentina when it comes to filing your US taxes, then the answer is probably no. The IRS expects you to file income on any tax, even if it is the...

Convert income in USD/Foreign Currency to pesos. The term usually refers to a forced or mandatory exchange as imposed by government regulations.

On what section? Not saying you aren't right, I'm just curious if it's something you might have authorized specifically. I've never seen individual transactions in AFIP except for stuff that is specifically informed by banks or credit cards like transactions in foreign currencies, where that...

AFIP only knows the totals in your account, they don't actually have access to your transactions. By the same token, banks cannot legally require your tax documents (although they often heavily imply they can). That said, banks must (and do) report any transactions they deem suspicious, with...

Everyone that's saying "just change your password after" is mistaken about how the authorization process works. Not only does WU never get your password, it wouldn't matter if you did change it. WU receives a cryptographic token that essentially lets them access your account without the password...

It won't. The City of BA could, maybe, exempt digital nomads from paying Ingresos Brutos, which is a local tax, but that in itself would presume that technically they are now permanent residents and should pay the tax in the first place, so by taking the exemption you'd essentially be admitting...

It varies. Do you have bank accounts in Argentina, registered assets (house, car, boat, etc.), do you receive income from Argentine sources (employment, passive)? Essentially, are you "in the system"? Not being in the system also comes with its own drawbacks. Yes, you are less likely to avoid...
