I just entered Radex yesterday (Family Reunification), being in Buenos Aires. Payment for Criminal Record Argentina gave us some headaches, the other two payments (visa + DNI) were easy to do (credit card and bank transaction). Following payment I entered step 2. Had issues uploading pdf's so...

Do you have an update regarding success and the length of the process since 'opening'? And do you have the name of the kind professional that you mentioned?

And yes, so the discussion goes on.... Quite the enrichment of the BAexpats forum it is (not). I am truly appalled by anyone that can't control the urge to bring this toxic, totally irrelevant, discussion into this forum.

That's not the point. The point is that this is a forum about relevant developments in Argentina. Opinions about what happens in Minneapolis can be vented elsewhere, why here? And so far I haven't seen an answer to that question: why specifically here? There are enough places to discuss US...

I understand the political situation in the US keep Americans busy. What I don't understand is why this forum needs to be used to vent your feelings, opinions, whatsoever. Why don't you all go to reddit, X or whatever other place to discuss this? This discussion doesn't belong here.

Thank you. And yes, I agree: the outcome of the elections will define USD/ARS, at least for the next 1 - 2 months. For EUR/ARS I think it will be the same, even though EUR/USD development at this moment is highly unpredictable, but I feel EUR/USD will have less effect than the elections.

But... this is what my original post is all about.... deflation in USD terms.

Sounds like a great opportunity for foreigners with the right business acumen to start a business in some kind of consumer goods with competitive pricing. Why I never read about that?

I have read this kind of observation a couple of times, from different people. Can't be a matter of genes ofc, probably you mean culture / history. It's difficult to get a feeling for this. I mean, as a local merchant you look at your sales, your costs, your margins. If margins are sufficiently...

Interesting to get some mixed reactions on the official data. Reality (or perceptions?) often feels different. Matter of reference points? Personal situations?

Interesting article. It says that in 2024 overall prices in USD terms rose 67%, something every person that is calculating cost of living in a foreign valuta has felt. 2024 marked the end of ridiculously cheap living in Argentina for foreigners. Now, it is expected that at the end of 2025...

dlish how long did that take you?

I saw the text cause I got a notice by e-mail of your new post. Without publicing ofc, can you tell me why you deleted it? It read like a perfect summary.

Just curious: with respect to the minimum threshold for income tax, are you referring to this?

Fully agree! The ARCA website has good information about deductable amounts per month and income tax percentages, but I do have some practical questions left. E.g.: reporting as a pareja, other (general) deductions, the exchange rates to use. I will need an expert to help me at least the first time.

Thanks for your reply. I have read multiple times that Argentina doesn't tax foreign pensions, but that's simply not true. Argentina taxes its tax residents on worldwide income, that is: including pensions. Important is that the general rule is that pensions are taxed. So there's no tax evasion...

Sounds to me that you indeed have two options: the consular route and the one in which you arrange everything in Argentina. I do understand that in general they want to verify in some way (official documentation) that you are entitled for the one time tax exempt shipping to Argentina. Not...

I agree. I think generally speaking life has become more unpredictable anywhere. I do think though that it would and will be difficult to emigrate to Argentina for people who like to minimize risk. I am happy to see loads of people of my age group are thinking 'what the heck, this is more...

Can a moderator please kick this guy out of the forum? Thanks!

Are we going to have that discussion again, because of your anecdotal proof? *Sigh*
