You keep replying shutting down people. multiple replies about cost and from my perspective a negative tone, when multiple people have indicated cost is not driving the decision. Yes it is more expensive than it was years ago when the government propped the currency and you had a vibrant...

Sergio, seems like no matter what anyone says you want to shut them down. Argentina offers: 1) People are active and social and are extremely good nature from my experience. Whether you want to be more of a hermit, or live a vibrant social life is up to you. 2) equal or lower cost of living...

With regards to the article itself, the following is a translated paragraph "The company produces in the country, especially lines linked to air conditioning and some products of greater volume, and also imports. A relevant part of its portfolio — mostly small appliances and certain specific...

Behind the stable dollar: the flow of USD 11,000 million that underpinned the exchange rate calm and currency purchase of the BCRA Good article explaining a bit about whats been going on since the October election. These are good. Hopefully it continues.

Its interesting because I wonder what this really means. 1) They are continuing to stay in business and respect client and vendor responsibilities. They will respond to individual parties as necessary if necessary. 2) It looks like this is the process to freeze interest and restructure the...

I just remembered, if you do plan on trying fermented pickled you will need Kosher Salt (Salt without any Iodide). Even see salts here in the normal supermarket have iodide added. If you have a herborista near you, try going there and seeing if they stock salt without iodide. I am not in BA, and...

My bad. It did come through earlier, I just missed their email.

I transfer to my Santander account here, and I haven't had to pay a receiving fee probably since August or September. I think that was them trying to increase reserves (so make it cheaper to bring in USD). I find that I used to be able to initiate a transfer in the evening and the next morning...

Agree that the minimum required is likely below what you spend by enough that it doesn't really matter. And this goes even living outside of BA. Rent, insurance, utilities, internet, food, restaurants, gym membership, etc. will be more that $1300/month. I think it is one thing to have a buffer...

I'm not sure that is great advice. The required transfer amount is 5x the minimum salary, which for February is 346,800 ARS. So 5 x 346,800 ARS = 1,734,000 ARS = $1229 USD (at 1410). I am not sure why you are recommending nearly double the required amount. I don't know if your basis for 2...

If you are doing it every 2 months, I would suggest increasing to meet the new minimum x 2 which is slightly above $2500 now. I think they just want to make sure you are not a burden on the state.

I think the $352,400 you quoted is the minimum for March 2026. The minimum for February 2026 is $346,800. I have included a snip from the government website below. This is the link to the government website Government Website - Minimum Salary

Here is the link to the site with the updated minimum salary, currently at 346,800 ARS, so 5x it is 1,734,000 Website with minimum salary You have to deposit monthly, but you don't necessarily have to exchange it on deposit. You can also transfer more and maintain a balance in USD so you are...

I went in to the migracion office in my city prior to a trip since my precaria was about to expire, and they saw that it was all reviewed but not issued, so they called the BA office then ended up issuing my temporary visa a few minutes later.

Its interesting to see that they don't mention that China gets about 2/3 of the export by volume or 55% by value in the article. Maybe a bit less now with their updated policy.

Great article, and attitude of the author.

Also, in the last 2 years, about 7k direct and 18k jobs industry wide (including supply chains) through the textile industry have been lost which represents about 3.5% of an estimated 500k jobs, for a similar reduction in installed capacity output, while at the same time a massive increase in...

I agree. I think because credit isn't available here and everything is paid for in cash, the business owners think they need to earn a massive return on it. The inflated rate of return is far above what businesses in other countries would target typically. I agree that Mercado Libre brings in...

The family reported that they had been losing money for 30 years. How does one operate for 30 years if at a loss? unless they are playing accounting games. I believe they also went bankrupt in 2019, and have been dealing with labour issues (disputes). I would have to assume the family has...

So their corporate tax is disproportionate and not sure if thats limited to just income tax or the other taxes as well (gross revenues and transfer taxes) or if those fall under the other taxes. Argentina also taxes property (Assets) 2.5x as much as other LATAM countries. Trying to compare...
