    Precaria Renewal Question

    I would recommend going to the office. I think they would be able to renew it in the spot. If your lucky they might actual check the stage and status of the process and approve it.

    Argentina's auto parts industry feels the pain from shock therapy

    I'm surprised the number of sales for the Hilux isn't higher honestly. Its for both business and personal use and the quality is unmatched. It would do a lot of damage to Ford, Chevy, GMC if allowed to enter the North American market.

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    Its understandable that foreigners opinion and preferences can be shaped by the Blue Dollar. It directly impacts the cost of living. But the point being highlighted, is that you have an individual desiring both a more valuable Blue Dollar rate (ideally to return to the multiple value over the...

    Banned from entry for 8 years

    This is extremely reasonable policy. Many countries may not let you enter if your passport is within 6 months of expiry.

    Best (if any) Shipping Options for Heavy Item?

    Probably worth paying for a spare luggage and getting 23kg or oversize 32kg on your flight with you.

    Argentina's auto parts industry feels the pain from shock therapy

    1) it was a motorcycle, so far fewer components. 2) the components are likely shipped from overseas and assembled here in argentina 3) Argentina has higher IVA (21%), it has effectively 4-5% Gross Tax vale (between provincial and account credit/withdrawal tax). So one line item might be more and...

    Argentina's auto parts industry feels the pain from shock therapy

    There is a condition in CUSMA that the labour content of 40-45% for passenger vehicles and 45% for trucks must be performed in a high labour cost country (Canada/US) where the wage is $16/h or higher. So although the competition isn't on the labour cost portion of the vehicle, the US still...

    Argentina's auto parts industry feels the pain from shock therapy

    carride, I agree with you. 1) The other thing is the US price also doesn't include all the taxes, delivery, registration, dealer charges etc. So you need to add those on as well. 2) I also found when buying a motorcycle the costs ending up being fairly similar once all the charges were included.

    Argentina's auto parts industry feels the pain from shock therapy

    Another aspect that would be interesting would be to know if these are equal configurations and builds. ie, same number of airbags, auto ignition shutdown/startup at red lights etc. Those features that are included in other countries might not be required/included in Argentina, which would make...

    Argentines Keep Cash Under Mattresses As Milei Pushes Bank Accounts

    Agree. This isn't some conspiracy. There is a small detail though and I don't really know it. Not all capital is treated equally though. In Argentina, there are separate laws regarding how banks can treat USD deposit and if and how they are allowed to loan in USD. There was an article about one...

    Wages have fallen 20% since 2018, worst drop in the region

    Ok, so you won't address my questions or request. I honestly think you rather the country fail under Milei than to suceed, which is unfortunate. Although this type of political polarization or tribal politics is more common these days globally. So the Vicuna project isn't planning on spending...

    Wages have fallen 20% since 2018, worst drop in the region

    Can you provide any links to actual evidence of all his theft and corruption? I don't think foreign investment will not enter the country it was that it was going to them and therefore government dependent. They have waited this long and they can wait far longer. There are other projects for...

    Wages have fallen 20% since 2018, worst drop in the region

    Part 2 1) I hope there isn't just "a few lean years". I hope the success stays and is perpetual. Argentinians don't seem to want to return to the cyclical nature of the economy based on administrations. If it returns to similar policies of the past and a parallel exchange rate, who does that...

    Wages have fallen 20% since 2018, worst drop in the region

    This might be a 2 part reply due to size restrictions. The election was not bought for because of the intervention. Outside of BA LLA and PRO have support, and in the election they had more than expected from BA. The intervention was both announced and predictable based on the rules that were...

    Cash/effectivo, credit card, mercado pago 2026

    I think just a DNI or precaria. If you do it with a precaria you might have to update the bank with your actual DNI number once issued. I think it can change between your first precaria and when your visa is actually approved.

    Cash/effectivo, credit card, mercado pago 2026

    I typically try to use my Argentinian credit card as much as possible. Otherwise I use mercado pago/transfers during the month. I rarely use bills, for the most part limited to tips. I check my balance by the end of the month and transfer amounts needed to Argentina. At the beginning of each...
