I would much prefer to pay for an apartment with a bank transfer. I'm adverse to a drug dealer like cash transaction, carrying a gym bag of $10KUSD bricks on the streets. If the seller can choose the place of the closing, can they legally insist on cash payment? Or is under reporting income...

Hanke's Misery Index is not funny to me. It is a shameful, intellectually feeble descent to click bait. Whereas the UN Human Development Index has GDP per capita, Hanke's index only incorporates rates. If a Misery Index has Norway roughly similar to Mali and Burkina Faso, my instinct is to...

Don't expect any price list available to the general public on expensive surgeries. In the US, maybe the hospitals know prices, and the insurers know prices; try getting that info out of them. Here in Argentina, I am not aware of public info on bypass surgeries, stent implants, invasive cancer...

I had CIGNA for the 1st year I was in ARG. That gave me time to get Hospital Italiano coverage. I was 69 then, but had to have a blood sample analysis and a questionnaire for medical history before I was enrolled. CIGNA was way too expensive to extend the contract after one year.

Far too risky for me. Have you witnessed the health care provided by the hospitals run by the government? I have medical care from Hospital Italiano. Following a mugging in 2019, I was obligated to get X-rays at Hospital Penna. I was so happy that after a minor rough up, I could walk in...

The tough thing about hikes in private medical plans is the difficulty in changing plans for those over 70 years old. Only Hospital Italiano offered me coverage at age 69.

Does anyone care to comment about investments open to Argentine citizens? I am a US citizen and can invest using a US based brokerage firm to hold shares in corporations based in Asia, N America, Europe, as well as bonds. My Argentine friend is anxious about receiving proceeds of her apartment...

What is the sample size of real estate agents that led to this conclusion?

I plan attending.

What is the audience for INCAA supported films? The 15 people that attend Cine Gaumont paying 500 pesos to enter? One could argue that any government money has a multiplier effect. Why does the US defense budget keep growing? Because congressmen want the employment, wages, and taxes that...

The document attached dates from 2014. PwC is focused on corporate transfers that earn income in ARG; not lazy, expat retirees, like yours truly.

I plan on attending.

I've been a permanent resident since 2021, so Migraciones is not something I think about.

I receive my US pension directly into my dollar account in an Argentine bank( I have a peso acct also ). I reside here, so I pay tax on the income, and that tax is high. I can withdraw dollars from the bank, and I manage to find a way to exchange USD for pesos at a decent rate.

I plan on attending.

In 2018, I used a lawyer in my city in the US to assist with assembling all the documents for the pension visa, which I received in the Argentine consulate in Chicago. It takes three years to be granted permanent residence in ARG. Do you have a lot of established connections in ARG? Fluency...

Can anyone recommend a customs broker? I had a modest crate shipped to ARG in 2018, and there is now work that remains to unlock the insurance policy through a customs process. The objective is to clear the path so I can get my caution policy deposit back. The whole process, messed up under...

I must be the dumbest Yanqui in Argentina. I pay Argentine taxes. Two local accountants were in accord on Argentine tax consequences of social security income. They treated my US Social Security income as taxable. It is taxable also in the sense that my income exceeds the threshold that...
