    A bit lost: Applying for a Family reunification visa, Radex application next?

    Hi @rdino - I haven't really started the process yet, since I haven't sold my property yet in Holland. The only thing I have arranged in the meantime, and that was very simple, is to get a tax ID. I did that when I was in BA last month. I can't tell ofc if we are in the same situation. My...

    Immigration changes: Health, Education, Deportation

    For other visas than the one based on marriage with an Argentine citizen, the 'ingreso regular' is already in place. My (Argentine) partner views the new measures to be aimed at serving the right wing voters, who are primarily negative about the influx of immigrants from countries as Bolivia and...

    Reverse mortgage, or likewise alternatives

    It's a very tricky income solution, I know. But there's always the freedom to judge the offer and say no. Personally, I would be happy to at least have the chance to view any possibilities. I've worked in personal finance myself so I am pretty sure what to look for.

    Reverse mortgage, or likewise alternatives

    Thanks Nikad. Always amazed by your knowledge. Didn't know they use the term 'hipoteca inversa', so that's already good to know. Effectively using the value of a home to generate extra income without having to sell is still a major problem, even in the 'first' world. Existing solutions are...

    Reverse mortgage, or likewise alternatives

    Probably not realistic, but gonna pop the question anyway: My estimate is that at least 90+ % of the real estate (casas, PH, apartments) in Buenos Aires is fully mortgage free. Is there any sign of the development of financial instruments to borrow against the value of the (existing) house, e.g...

    Banking in Argentina

    Does that mean that if I need to pay for buying real estate and the current owner wants it on his Argentine USD account, I could: 1. Transfer money internationally from a bank account in the EU to an Argentine USD account that has the same name (euros will arrive as dollars)? 2. Then transfer...

    Banking in Argentina

    About getting money into Argentina: I have lost track of the current situation (now that the Cepo has ended) regarding transferring a big amount of money (that should arrive as dollars) to Argentina to pay for real estate. Before, as far as I new, this required a unique, complex and costly...

    How many of us are still here?

    Your reasoning sounds too simple in my opinion, there's a lot more to it. It seems to me that your starting point is that you aim to settle in BA. And that you are deliberating your financial ability to do so, comparing this scenario with the alternative of staying in the US. Is that right...

    CEPO is lifted

    I am thinking things might work out differently. As I understood the IMF has demanded a positive interest rate. This would mean a much better deposit return on pesos than on dollars. Given the relative security of the peso in the coming months (the central bank has enough ammunition to defend...

    Argentina Takes Steps to Dollarize and Holds Key Rate

    You mean: dollar dominated current accounts I guess?

    Blue peso at parity?

    It´s important to define the supply and demand sides with regard to the blue dollar. In the current situation there is no such thing as ´the´ supply and demand for the dollar in Argentina.

    Interesting analysis after one year

    Milei transforming from a populist to a smart stateman, following the great recommendations explained in this article, is necessary to make his presidency ultimately productive and historical. I am afraid though this won't happen, his personality is just too limited by anger, subjective views...

    $1 homes offered to American expats

    The ignorant remarks I read here sometimes are quite unbelievable. Are all (certain nationality) on this forum some kind of ignorant hillbillies?? Italy under sharia law? Where do you read this kind of fantasy stories?

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    I´ll throw in the Dutch version. 1. Every citizen of the Netherlands builds up a right of the state pension ('1st pillar), 2% for each year living in Holland before official retirement age, so in 50 years the whole right of state pension is build up. Current state pensions per month are $...

    Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment

    All good luck with Trump guys. Anyone that expects that Trump will do good for the masses: I'd like to speak to you in 4 years. Apart from that, I am glad I am not American. I would be very much ashamed for being so right now. Anyway: I know I should not really care and think the way all Trump...

    Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment

    A. Antares, I don't like to see fake news start appearing here on this forum. CPI-W is used by law, since 1975. It's not something the Biden administration invented to reduce the COLA, as you state in your post. By the way, COLA has been much lower during Trump's presidency than in the years...

    How are foreign pensions taxed?

    I suggest you read the tax treaty US - ARG. Haven't read it but it should contain: (1) Rules for defining tax residency (2) Rules regarding taxation of different types of incomes (who taxes what). As I understand your questions relate to (2). With respect to the min tax threshold: as far as I...

    Amelia Cafe in Caballito, the coffee part of the menu. They also serve with almond milk. Nice place for breakfast or lunch.
