    Health Insurance

    I'm retired from the military and I can use Tricare Overseas for insurance. You have to pay for the services upfront and then they will reimburse you. That's ok for a doctor's office appointment, but not so ok if I have an emergency and get admitted to a hospital. How much does a private...

    Pensionado Visa

    Thank you for pointing that out. I had assumed the tax charts I was looking at was based on yearly income, not monthly. I was wondering why the tax threshold was so ridiculously high.

    Is Public Transportation Safe?

    From what I can tell, the crime rate in Argentina is lower than in the US. I would never take a city bus in any large city in the US, and haven't done so since the 1980s. Is public transportation generally safe in Buenos Aires? I'm not planning on living there, but I may have to stay there a...

    Can someone give me a ballpark idea of what monthly expenses would be living in a small village or city like Viedma or Punta Alta, minus housing costs? How much is water, electricity, phone, and Internet? What would I expect to pay for full coverage car insurance? What would an average...

    US and Argentina Negotiating a Tax Treaty

    I didn't see a date on it, but after you said something, I looked up Jacob Lew, and he's not the Treasury Secretary anymore. My apologies.

    Mail Forwarding Services

    How do you maintain your credit cards and banking from your home country while you are living in Argentina? I've been told if I give them a foreign address they will cancel my accounts. I've also been told the same thing if I use a virtual address from one those digital mail forwarding...

    Banking in Argentina

    What is the most cost effective way of getting money in Argentina? I've looked into wire transfers and I understand the banks in Argentina charge a fee for receiving the money into an account. I've also seen YouTube videos of people using Western Union. It seems like a big hassle and not...

    Thanks for the information. What about a European vehicle?

    Purchasing a car

    I understand the majority of vehicles in Argentina are manual transmission and that automatics are rare. Just how rare are they? I'm not looking to purchase anything fancy, possibly a midsize vehicle, and I'm thinking I should be able to find a dealership in Buenos Aires that has one.

    Does Argentina tax foreign pensions?

    Does Argentina tax foreign pension income for US expats? I'm getting ready to retire in a few years, and I'm looking at moving to Argentina. I understand the US doesn't have a tax treaty with Argentina, and I'm concerned about double taxation.
