I'm pretty sure if you are earning that much money, you should and would probably have (and use) an international tax attorney to advise you about these kind of things, not ask an internet board. If you don't, I'd recommend you get one. PS - I'm also curious exactly why you would consider...

Well technically you should be yelling at the Germans for that one since Adidas is a German company. :cool:

Good luck with that - let me know how it goes ;) I'm guessing you have never run a business here. Some factors you haven't taken into account: the HIGH cost of employees. Don't forget their 30% plus raises - and if you have union employees - you don't have any say in that. The huge...

Thanks all - I did take a look at the reports mentioned above but yeah, as always, real data is pretty hard to come by. I talked to a few escribanos I know as well and the consensus was that real estate prices have actually not increased (dollars wise) in the last 4 years. 2012, prices went...

Ah thanks :) I figured I was asking too much!! I checked report immobiliario but seemed pretty limited in their info. I was generally curious, nothing specific.

Calling GS_dirtboy and others - is there a reasonably reliable source to track how much real estate prices have or have not increased (on average) over the past 5 years inside/outside of CABA (i.e., in pvca) and if so, what is it? Or could you share? I can find random notes here and there but...

Ries - my question wasn't intended to denigrate the shoes or Argentine manufacturing, I was genuinely curious. We help our clients buy tack here (saddles, bridles, etc) and generally it *is* good quality and well made. The problem we saw was when companies started manufacturing in quantity...

Off topic but how is quality control with the shoes? At one point, lots of (horse) saddle manufacturers were doing saddles here in Argentina to sell overseas b/c obviously leather was plentiful and somehow they had worked out how to export. Unfortunately, one of the biggest saddle makers had a...

Things haven't gotten a lot worse for us but they are affecting business in the short-term. With the (long-overdue) cost increases in utilities, I know we are putting off hiring people and have cut down on things. I know lots of business that are down-sizing their staff and the like. That...

Salary in San Fran = much, much higher. And let's face it - if I were living 30minutes outside of San Fran (like I do out of BA), I prob wouldn't live on a dirt road, rely on a generator multiple times a year b/c of power outages, get regular garbage pickup, have internet a bit faster than 1...

This thread came to mind as I went to a shopping center today for the first time in forever. I stopped in at Paruolo where I used to buy shoes quite a bit back in 2007/8. At the time, I think they were generally around 400 pesos - let's say a bit over $100 USD. Expensive for sure for the...

I don't know, it's been off the charts for a long time (if you are earning in pesos). It's just lots of you haven't experienced it until now. We have a business so yeah, 5000 is a lot but we also have lights on for security reasons at night and also use electricity during the day. It was a...

Unfortunately in order to get inflation under control and get the economy started in the right direction, we all are going to have to feel the pain for a while (many of us have already for a long time). I posted about this before but my light bills went to 5000+ a month. Guess what, I don't...

Yes, 100% necessary to have the apostille.

Sadly nothing about that story surprises me. You have to understand though - the culture here for better or for worse is predicated on the expectation that people will be taken care of by the State (used as synonym for govt in this). It really is that paternalistic. If you start with the...

I'm not sure what people thought would happen in 4 months?! Did people really believe Argentina would undergo huge changes immediately? I will be shocked if there are fundamental changes in then next 4 years. As noesdeayer said, this is a culture where changes happen sloooooooooooowly (when...

I don't think anyone (or at least I) was advocating overstaying or anything else. I was simply saying that a) 99% of the time, these posts are made by a first time poster and they never reappear so it's a bit..sketchy shall we say and B) As important as it may be to those who are...

You may have to travel with your UK passport anyway AFAIK. Most countries request/require passports ( I have heard Chile will allow you just to enter with DNI *but* I wouldn't chance it personally.) FWIW, last time I went, they did look at my US passport although I am perm resident here.

I was saying cheaper to get things replaced/fixed here rather than replacing them here - not comparing Argentina to Chile. Ej: I just got my transmission repaired for 35,000. To replace it with a new transmission , it would have cost 170,000. Insanity. Obviously if she can go to Chile and...

Some quick thoughts: 1) Your bf can most probably enter the US as a tourist and be there for the birth, even with the other stuff pending. Does he already have a visa for the US? 2) I doubt any airline (or OB) is going to allow you to fly at 35 weeks. There's not an official cut off but...
