I am in Salta for around 10 days every six weeks or so. In my experience, eating out is considerably more affordable than in Buenos Aires. AirBnB rates about 12 months ago were maybe 2/3 the cost of comparable apartments in Cordoba, but I haven't checked lately. Most other living costs seem to...

It seems to one of the easiest residency categories. Go for it. The hard part will be staying married long enough to make it through the three-year period toward permanent residency.

It's hard to prove something that doesn't exist doesn't exist. Trust us. Most of us have been in this residency game for years. (If you say you saw a unicorn somewhere and I said it doesn't exist and you say "are you sure?" I've got nowhere to go.)

For expats who earn in USD. For others, the falling value of the USD helps, I believe?

There is no sponsor arrangement. You need to marry your girlfriend. With that, you will get temporary residency for one year, renewable for two more years. At the end of the third year, you can apply for permanent residency, if you are still married. There is no income requirement in that...

What have your respective lawyers said about the meeting the criterion of showing sufficient economic means? For pensionistas for example, did you habe to present evidence of the 5X Monthly Minimum Wage and nothing else? According to the Migraciones website, this seems to be how they determine...

On a slightly different note, at 4.39 am in CABA. I opened the NYT on my phone and scrolled down. Here are the first SIX news items that appeared (in order): Trump is expected to announce Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve Chair; Did Trump really give Nicki Minaj a $1 million Gold Card visa?; Trump...

Good. So, on the basis of your sampling of news across (and conscious of) the bias of each source, what do you believe is happening in Minneapolis?

Good. We could quibble about the placement of some of the sources (NPR only slightly squews left?, the BBC almost top dead center?) but can we all at least agree that in order to make up our minds about what's going on, we can't really just read only The Guardian or the Daily Mail (or the NYT or...

Agreed. But what agenda-free 'news' sources would you recommend?

Actually, I have a friend, Argentine, who now lives in Rome, who is a dead ringer for Milei. I only wish I had a good photo of him to post here.He works in a gelato bar I actually have a friend, an Argentine, who now works in a gelato store in the center of Rome and is a dead ringer for Milei...

This is how you would do it if you chose to go down this path. https://www.argentina.gob.ar/servicio/obtener-una-autorizacion-de-trabajo-transitoria

I just paid AUD 14.90 per kilo for red bell pepper at Woolworths, equivalent to USD 10.00, or 15,000 pesos. According to Dia online, today's price is 11,000 pesos for 1 kg. A maple of eggs is AUD 18.50, roughly USD 12.00 and 18,000 pesos. Two weeks ago I paid 6,000 pesos in BsAs. 1 liter of...

The similarity of Trump's policies to those of Peronism is as uncomfortable for the Peronistas as it is for Milei. So far, the only Peronist I've heard admit its overlap with Trumpism is Guillermo Moreno (who, by the way, applauds Milei opting to align with the US rather than China).

I am also in Australia at the moment. I will verify the 7/11 claims in the next few days, but they seem about right. I can, however, already report that the least I have paid for a chicken bahn mi from a shopping center food court (I would think the cheapest, faster option available anywhere)...

Can't comment on anything west of San Antonio de los Cobres (if that is the route you plan to take), but we did the stretch from San Antonio to Salta in mid October on a bus tour to the Train to the Clouds. It was quite comfortable and only took three hours. Note, though, that Salta's rainy...

OK, well the notion of a temporaria of longer than 365 days is news to me and good information to have. What category is it available in? Even so, if three years remains the minimum for applying for PR, if you have one of these three-year temporary residencies, why would you need even one...

The first paragraph is exactly what my post said: "Two successive temporaries lead to permanent residency for Mercosur foreigners; for non-Mercosur, it is three successive temporaries.". The second paragraph is impossible to follow on every level. Let's lay it out this way (again leaving the...

It helps to clarify terminology and use it carefully. There are no "visas" and thus no "student visa" or "work(ing) visa". "Visa" is a term we foreigners here tend to default to as a kind of jargon we are used to, but it confuses matters. In Argentina there are just "residences" (residencias)...

I looked up the answer to my own question. You are correct: such a person would still pay tax to the US on US-sourced income (and, indeed, do so at generally higher rates than they would have paid if they had remained a US tax resident). So there is no solution to the double tax problem: indeed...
