    Where to start learning about taxes/Pensionado visa?

    Although I didn't have access to AI at the time I received this advice (mid-2024), I do now. So, I just plugged Article 116 into Chat (the paid version) and asked it specifically the following (roughly translated) question: How many days of absence can a foreigner on a temporary residency have...

    Where to start learning about taxes/Pensionado visa?

    If here you are referring to the question of whether a foreigner can keep from falling into tax residency by staying out of the country 90 days during the 365 days of their temporary residency (or the inverse: by staying in the country for less than 9 months), it is precisely here that I had to...

    Where to start learning about taxes/Pensionado visa?

    I didnt comment on the Italy versus US part of the equation. That was Steve. But even he didn't mention he used AI. I only commented on the part I know about, which is tax. And I didn't say AI was a source. It wasn't. The information comes from where I said it did: close reading over several...

    Statement of Tax Liability in Argentina needed

    Because I meant to post it to the new thread someone started last night about Pensionista residency and tax. It's there now.

    100 songs I would have in a virtual jukebox

    In 1985 I attended an intimate Dionne Warwick dinner concert at the Sydney International Hilton, with Jack Jones as the supporting act. Jack filled the role of Barry Manilow on the duet "Run to me", the hit from the Manilow-produced album she had released that year ("Finder of Lost Loves"). I...

    Where to start learning about taxes/Pensionado visa?

    On tax, wishing to do your homework is wise and commendable: 1) This is what (in effect) the ganancias (income tax) law currently says: You will become a tax resident of Argentina once you have completed 12 months as a temporary resident “visa” holder (unless you stayed outside Argentina for...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    I don't see anything new here. The food IS limited and terrible, exactly as the authors and the commenters describe, and always has been, as least as far back as my memory goes, to 1988. The only thing that has changed is that it is now (but not for the first time) overpriced. (But I still...

    100 songs I would have in a virtual jukebox

    So good to see this one on the list. I remember listening repeatedly to the song on freezing early morning drives to work in (my) winter of 1987. In July of '88, beginning an overland tip from Lima, I bought a cassette of the album and listened to it endlessly through rattling cheap headphones...

    Economist Predicts Argentina’s Financial Collapse

    And those of us forced by Migraciones to deposit more money into our local accounts than we actually need to live off. (Fortunately, in my case I'm only facing a few more months of this, but am already looking at a strategy to get rid of the accumulating US$ balance by prepaying items such as...

    Starting Over... with pets

    Completely understandable. I felt and feel that way about my home country. However, unless you are prepared to live the precarious lifestyle of the permatourist and never integrate into country's basic administrative and commercial systems, the only option is to migrate under one of the...

    Starting Over... with pets

    Other issues to research thoroughly if settling down/a fresh start is the goal (and if an immigration category could be found -- the big IF) include health care/insurance and taxation implications, both in Argentina and Canada.

    Starting Over... with pets

    The only option is to buy a ticket, arrive (sans cat and dog), recieve the standard 90-day tourist entry, renew it for another 90 days at a Migraciones office and then leave. You may be able to obtain a study residency, say for Spanish classes (if there is a language institute whose course has...

    Starting Over... with pets

    Exactly. Without wishing to sound too rude or unwelcoming, a Canadian can't simply "move" to Argentina any more than an Argentinian could simply move to Canada. Argentina is a sovereign country with its own immigration categories and processes.

    Argentina’s markets on edge as Milei’s radical agenda faces electoral test

    Probably. But that's a different direction of conversation than the one I was hoping to generate in my post, which is whether (i) the fall of this government would automatically lead back to the one that came before it, whether headed by El Sovietico or someone equally associated with the...

    Argentina’s markets on edge as Milei’s radical agenda faces electoral test

    At this point, it would be interesting to hear people's thoughts about what happens in the event this government falls, either through parliament, or at the next presidential election. Caputo said yesterday it's either this or communism from 2027. But surely that's a bit hysterical. If the...

    "Coming to Argentina more than twice a year" in times of Milei

    He is a long way off from becoming at risk of paying tax in Argentina. At a minimum, he would need to take out temporary residency, and even then, it would be another 12 months before he became a tax resident here.
