Is renouncing US citizenship sufficient to lose US tax residency? If so, under the proposed law all those US taxpayers living here in Argentina (let's call them "expats" for want of a precise term) who had Argentine citizenship and tax residency and so faced double taxation would have an escape...

Recently back from my annual trip to San Martin de Porres (Lima) to visit family, some of whom move back and forth between there and Argentina, own or operate small businesses in each country, take advantage of the rights whatever limited integration Mercosur memberships confers, work budget...

There are 100s of thousands of we expats all over the country. But most of them aren't from North America or Europe, so not all of us see or count them.

44:02 to 46:26 is this exact scene

Not saying it's a requirement of the home country. It's just that depending on the residency category (some require a longer list of more complex documents than others) and how much 'home help' a person can draw on (friends, family members willing and able to do the legwork), in some cases, it...

And in many cases logically impossible: in order to lodge the paperwork for their claim after two continuous years in the country, some will have to leave the country (thus breaking the continuous stay just as it is about to complete) in order to collect the apostilled documents Migraciones...

It looks like tomorrow, the Dirección Nacional de Migraciones, which we have all loved so much, will be relaunched as the Agencia Nacional de Migraciones. https://www.infobae.com/politica/2025/11/24/reforma-en-seguridad-crearan-una-policia-migratoria-para-reforzar-los-controles-en-las-fronteras/...

From what I found (in a simple case of a short marriage, unequal prior wealth, no dependents), both walk away with what they had before the marriage--as long as the less wealthy party can't show they are worse off for having entered the marriage--and the common assets acquired during the...

The general principle I've come across for Argentina is that, provided one party (let's say the poorer party) can't show that they leave the marriage worse off than they would have been had they not married in the first place, the legal system here is more favorable to the other (let's say...

I can’t speak for the US. Where I come from there is not yet a huge number of people who want to leave. They still believe it’s the best country in the world. If they only knew what they don’t know… But it's best to keep quiet about this; people become uncomfortable when you try to explain it.

It's not just reverse culture shock. When you emigrate you change. And grow. Even later in life. And the place you left changes. You become a foreigner there too. You see the massive changes that they don't, because you see them in a big chunk once every year or two, whereas they see them in...

If you meet residency requirements in each country (and can continue to meet each set of criteria while you undergo the respective assessment processes), you would apply separately to each country, and neither would have any way of knowing you are applying elsewhere simultaneously. I have...

Another AI imitation of Wolff.

This is the crazy part about the system: they make you bring money in each month before they even know they are going to accept you. And if they take months, or even years, as was my Rentista case (before the deposit system came in), you could end bringing in tens of thousands of dollars to...

I can understand it taking months for an application for residency to be evaluated and approved (or years, as was my famous pandemic-affected case--nearly three years in fact). But the precaria, even in the depths of the pandemic, was always renewed on time. Without Migraciónes meeting this...

If you've got all your documents in order when you arrive (entering as tourists), and with the lawyer's help, then Migraciones will issue a precaria fairly quickly, which is a paper document that functions like a permit to remain legally in the country (and travel out of the country) while they...

There is plenty of analysis going on, from both the winners and losers. But this guy (the interviewee) was the only pollster who correctly predicted what would happen, on Thursday. He said the angry vote was spent in the September provincial election, just as the angry vote was registered on the...

On the other hand, the comments sections of many YouTube videos are filled with cries of "fraud" to explain the massive swing in the PBA result in the few weeks since the provincial election. Amusing that the inverse possibility doesn't seem to occur to any of these pundits: that the dishonest...

No, he couldn't. And didn't. It's AI.

And yet now, suddenly, you want to lose the argument you had so hansomely won over two decades, finally decided in your favor on the other thread with the 29 thousand dollar dinner for two. Quit while you are ahead, man! If only one could buy a cake in BsA for only 10,000 pesos. That won't even...
