If I have to taste one more "guacamole" with parsley I'm going to cry. Do you see me making an asado with tofu patties? Sticking SPAM in a bun and calling it a lomito? Just call your nasty sauce "watery palta paste with a hint of lemon" and stop deceiving people. It's culturally offensive really...

Howdy Cadet, Based on my experience with banks you need to provide the following: a) A bank statement showing the name of the LLC as the owner. The bank statement should clearly show outgoing transfers to a personal account number corresponding to an account in your name. For example "Transfer...

This is not related to immigration. This is related to taxes. What you need is an accountant, not an attorney. They will be able to answer how AFIP taxes each of you depending on how you are receiving the funds from abroad.

One has to wonder as well, exactly how would the US even know that you obtained a foreign citizenship while abroad? Americans don't enter the US with a foreign passport. I don't believe any of that is reported on FACTA either, which treats you first and foremost as an American citizen living...

It's an interesting question. I believe if would absolve you from paying US taxes on your foreign income but not from paying US taxes on your US income. Exactly under what tax status you pay your US taxes on US income afterwards must be a bit strange...are you a US born foreign national at that...

Howdy Gringo, There's a lot of difference aspects to this. But your first step is AFIP and how they treat incoming cash. My wife has an Argentine passport and lived in the US with me. Our savings were there. When we were ready to buy a property down here it was very simple. We transferred the...

Who could have possibly imagined such an influx would happen....

This part I'm very curious about. There doesn't appear to be a whole lot of literature about the renewal of mortgages. What happens if you retired or now work en negro during the mortgage term, can the bank non-renew your mortgage for lack of qualifications? What happens if your principal...

Much of the strategy behind lenders and mortgage holders is in my opinion unspoken. Banks are currently charging an insane percentage. Were talking about an inflation index (UVA) that exceeds even the dollar and even were the dollar to keep pace, add another 12 % on top of that. Nobody in...

There are as many distinct situations for lack of occupancy as there are distinct buildings. It's not up to a passing stranger to determine whether your empty property "deserves" to be yours. Here are some examples: Property is mid construction - waiting for permits for gas, power, etc...

I agree, I think Argentina strikes a good balance. The right to own without the right to carry. Moreover the license expires every 5 years and renewal requires a psychological exam. One of the interesting differences I found between Los Angeles and San Antonio,TX was that nobody used their car...

The owner family can sell it to a willing buyer who will, depending on the condition of home, repair or rebuild. Abandoned property (where there is no heir to the property or paperwork to connect a rightful owner) eventually is auctioned by the municipality.

As Rich One recommended, banks have mortgage web pages that let you use their "pre-qualification checklist". You put in your salary, or monotributo status, loan amount, etc. I don't know much about your personal situation, but Ries is correct, you need proof of stable income, legal status, and...

Interesting...I thought I had read somewhere that legitimate use was limited to professions (security guards, police, etc.) and that civilian home defense was not considered sufficient.

As I understand, citizenship by naturalization can be renounced, but not by birthright. Those holding dual citizenship by birthright would require a very specific scenario (born in a country with "jus soli" with parents from countries with "jus sanguinis".) I strongly doubt our lovely senator...

In a country where firearms are illegal except for those smuggled in criminal networks you can bet that virtually nothing is "defensible" in the way you imply. Argentina is not the USA either, in that it follows legal defense only in proportion to the threat "Legítima Defensa" laws like...

Disturbing news for sure...xenophobia will not help with the global debt overhang, and I fear it will be a common scapegoat by politicians to explain the lack of clear answers for inflation, unemployment and global malaise...

"According to Rosato, that cost structure, combined with what he called an "indiscriminate opening to unfair imports" -- especially from China, where many machines and equipment arrive with subsidized prices -- prevents domestic companies from competing." I suppose after importing everything...

"Argentina is expensive in dollars. We have a high tax burden, elevated energy costs, no access to financing and labor charges that are far higher than in other countries," That about summarizes it perfectly.

You touch on a very poignant truth. I recall when I went to renew my daughter's passport last year, I drove up from Neuquen to the US embassy in Palermo. I had never spent much time in Buenos Aires aside from connecting flights. It struck me, as we arrived in Palermo, that the district was...
