    Cash/effectivo, credit card, mercado pago 2026

    I've always recieved the amount shown when filling out the Western Union form. I think it also indicates that the "final" amount due to reciever may be less due to local taxes, but there never have been any that I am aware of, and no charges have been applied by the bank on the deposit, either.

    Cash/effectivo, credit card, mercado pago 2026

    PS to my previous post: I frequently transfer funds from my Argentine bank account into my Mercado Pago account and use it to buy eggs and chicken locally from a polloria that doesn't accept credit cards. I usually pay online from my house before going to pick up the eggs and chicken which are...

    Cash/effectivo, credit card, mercado pago 2026

    The only downside to using Western Union to transfer money from a US bank account to an Argentine bank account is that there may be cheaper and faster services (Moneygram e.g.). Nonetheless, since early 2000 I have only used Western Union to transfer money from a US bank account to my...

    I Just Found My Nuclear War Hideaway

    Where I wanted to be during WW III was not something that I was thinking about when I first visited Argentina in 2006 and it was not a factor in my decision to stay here. It was one of the five reasons that I decided to move to my present location in 2010, but it was at bottom of the list. I...

    is there a way to get citizenship faster than having to wait 2 years with perm residency?

    I'm not sure if having Argentine citizenship would automically exempt you from being drafted in the US, but it would probably prevent you being deported to the US in that case. That being said, based on your age, I don't think that you have anything to worry about. Even if the military draft...

    Banned from entry for 8 years

    From the article: "What happens if a foreigner exceeds the permitted time in Argentina? The National Directorate of Migration also reminded foreign tourists that they must respect the authorized period of stay upon entering the country. When a person exceeds that time without regularizing...

    Western Union rates

    I pay Westea Union a fee of about U$S 35 dollars each month to transfer U$S 700 and recieve a little over $1.000.000 in pesos in Argentina. The fee is in addition to the U$S 700. At the "current exchange rate of 1475 pesos to one dollar, a transfer of U$S 1,000 (one thousand US dollars would...

    Banned from entry for 8 years

    I believe that Bajo_cero2 uses the habeas corpus petition for his clients who are actually being detatied by migraciones in Argentina, not someone who has departed after being denied entry, at least not until they return. He mentioned two clients who were recently denied entry: one client who...

    If I understand correctly based on Bajocero_2's post, the appeal of the denial of entry have to be made to Argentine migraciones (either by him by email or by a lawyer in Argentina) while Vossos is waiting outside of the country Also, if I understand correctly, based on Bajocero_2's post, a...

    Cheap Housing in Argentina

    I am 99.999% certain that the the price was actually lower when the listing was published and, based on the fact that the listing is still active, the price has always been higher than anyone has been willing to pay.

    How would it be possible for anyone who has been denied entry and "deported" to get a certificado de domicilio which, if I remember correctly, must be applied for in person at a police station in CABA or, at least where I now live, at the appropriate registro? I don't think that anyone...

    90-day extension issues

    If Floridamedellin actually applied for a 90 day extension also known as the "prorroga de permanencia" in person, at the office of migraciones, why would a "precaria" have been given? I only got one 90 day extension and I recieved it at the same time I asked for it. Even though that was a long...

    Was it possible to stop any of the depotations (with or without a judge's order)? Had any of them already applied for citizenship through the Federal Court either before or after the decreto of 2025?

    Banned from entry for 8 years

    On what grounds can the ban be appealed by Vossos at the consulate? What could he say that would create more than a snowball's chance in hell that they would override the decision of migraciones in Argentina?
