Howdy Dim, Like everything down here, it's a little more complicated than that. There are many points to factor: A. Do you have an account at this bank? If not, there may be a transaction limit. B. Is this the same branch that you opened the account with? If not, there may be commissions. C...

I hear you, but unfortunately that's not been my experience down here. Not only can Pago Facil charge you to transfer the funds to their payment network but you also effectively blanqueo the funds too by not taking the cash instead. Eventually you may also incur ingreso bruto retenciones (tax...

Either the editor was asleep on the job or AI forgot to structure this paragraph. "Economist Diego Giacomini, who authored several books with Milei before the pair fell out, tweeted that 64% of the year-on-over year growth was down due to the government increasing taxes on private entities but...

Anything less than Citizenship can be revoked at the Government's discretion (treason aside). That is the difference.

I think it depends who is selling those shoes...Shein, Amazon, or a Nike Outlet in Argentina? The production cycle of an ordinary shirt is incredibly complex, from cotton producers, to textile mills, to clothing factories, to eventual store fronts. Prior Argentina sought to protect every chain...

The double taxation depends on a lot of factors... it's worth explaining what your type of income is that you plan to bank down here and what assets you intend to maintain in the US. Some income is not taxable down here, some assets don't really show up on anyone's radar. There's also Foreign...

It's my understanding that the declaracion jurada is only for processing a direct to bank transfer thereby requiring your Western Union USA to comply with Western Union Argentina requirements. You can still receive cash transfers for agent pick up regardless and walk that cash to your local bank...

It makes no difference. Your Western Union account as an American tourist traveling overseas has nothing to do with your Argentine Pago Facil account.

I can't make sense out of your statement here. Pago Facil is not Western Union. You can do a Western Union transfer to a Western Union branch, and extract cash. These branches often also are Pago Facil branches. They can offer to load some of your Western Union cash into the Pago Facil network...

To add to the above...there's a reason why expats and tourists stay in this circle.... Here is a map of Buenos Aires. The area marked green is the historical section with all that wonderful Architecture. See all those areas of the city highlighted in blue? Those are "villas de miserias"...aka...

My dear friend... This is Argentina overlaid on top the US. I've gone ahead and marked a blue circle on the part with the architecture you that you are referring to:

Okay, so let's get this straight... Criteria Not too far south Not too far north Within 45 minutes of a dentist, shopping, medical offices Small village with local community With expats, maybe? Doesn't seem to matter No active fault lines Mild winters IMO, just fly into Cordoba capital and...

As much as we all joke about Internet, I spent my first 5 years of annual visits to Argentina in a small town of 5,000 inhabitants a couple hours outside of San Luis capital. Mornings were spent listening to roosters and there are usually more dogs in the streets than people. The internet was a...

You can find the services you need in all major cities (even large towns). Finding a quiet village within 45 minutes would probably rule out Buenos Aires capital. So the question is which other major city do you prefer? This is where your preference on climate might come in. For example, here...

We're one step closer...

In addition to what wineguy mentioned, always check if the Airbnb listing already offers a monthly discount. Some listings may offer as high as a 30% discount if you choose a month or longer.

Yes, that would be logical. Well it sounds like you know what you are looking for. You have somewhat of a conundrum on that last part, as a small city or village would most likely have no expat presence. There are a surprising amount of Argentines however with an intermediate level of English...

There are many members who have come and gone on this forum. I would like to stress that the success rate of your migration and the contentment you may feel down here in my opinion will largely depend on your ability to successfully integrate into Argentine society. It is not a small task...

Howdy Ohilly, Let's address this problem in 3 parts: 1) Roaming charges 2) Calling fees 3) Data fees Part 1 Google AI shows the following: "No, Xfinity Mobile does not have roaming charges for calls and texts on its standard plans, but you will be charged for data usage abroad unless you...

I never left the US out of distaste, but I've heard reverse culture shock is something that affects a lot of expats.
