Probably easiest to pay it as long as it is affordable and you can manage it for the next 16 1/2 years. Accept that there will be a significant overpayment. She is going to bank the rest of her life on those excess payments so if she is only spending half of what you pay her it is probably...

Sounds like he will more than cover the wear and tear costs for both directions along with the fuel and travel on the way back. If someone really wanted to make the reverse trip anytime after early February it sounds like it could extremely beneficial.

I might have my speculating wrong because the US may never cede the primary right of taxation to Argentina. From an IRS standpoint, I thought unearned income is primary to the country derived but earned primary rights went to where you physically earn it rather than country derived. So even a...

Doesn't the border restriction take lending a private vehicle off the table? At least with an Argentine plated vehicle.

The tax information exchange treaty would apply to requesting foreign information. Using Western Union to send money to Argentina and/or receiving it would be a domestic issue. I think they are provided that information by Western Union unless there are privacy laws protecting it. Most of...

They are going to grab them off the street or home, process them, and put them on a plane home? Couldn't they just waif for that day which will never come and apply for citizenship to stop the deportation.

That might be the flaw. I'll try sending 1 euro through and see what happens. Maybe rejects upon the actual submission.

My credit card has no fees for cash advance or foreign transactions. It needs to be paid off immediately to avoid interest. You could do debit using the same strategy but I don't believe any debit cards are free from foreign transaction fees so you'll be into it for 2-3% higher than the...

Register a new WU account under a different country that has no western union fees for the type of transaction you want. You'll only lose a little converting out of dollars but using a no foreign transaction credit card it is minimal on the middle currency conversion like 0.48%. I would get...

I got a one time use zero fee code emailed for being a loyal customer. Expires 8/30/2022. Anyone else receive the same. Maybe they are testing those out.

A quite a few times the CCL had over a 10% spread over the price to buy dollars. It was a Dollars on sale for 90 cents. Has anyone here looked into a brokerage account to use the real CCL? You could just move it back and forth depending on the spread. Move 100k in to buy a house. Cash...

It follows the CCL. That has been all over the place historically. Above, equal, or below it. Someone already suggested it earlier, WU yourself when the spread is favorable and buy dollars. Then in times like now you have blue dollars to exchange.

Please share what you hear. I don't think it would be correct because the issue would be the earned income part. Investment or Rental income is easy, Those are sourced in the USA, taxable to the USA, and you claim a credit for those foreign taxes paid in Argentina. Income earned in one...

The rate would be close to 35%. Doesn't take much income to hit that rate. You can pay with WU or Blue Peso so trims the real tax rate paid. Same with the wealth tax. If it is foreign (US sourced) income then you get a credit for taxes already paid in the USA. All the dollar incomes and...

Yes back to normal. I thought something major was happening to the CCL for a second.

What is going on here: Contado con liqui: Compra $194.48 Venta $340.50

I checked moneygram and have bank to bank free. Like how western union started at the beginning of this thread. Has it always been that way?

Make sure it is on the list. Most need to be 25 years old to be grey market imports if it is going to the USA permanently.

Mercedes Sprinters, Ford Transits, Toyota Hiaces are much better priced here compared to the USA. They usually retain their value better compared to the usa. Besides the recent craziness in the us used market. But if you buy as a tourist it can't leave the border.

I think you have 90 days to pick it up. You could likely cancel it prior to pickup if the exchange rate increases or keep it if the rate drops. I always did bank to bank where you only have a tiny window to cancel.
