    Visa Application Processing Time

    This is the crazy part about the system: they make you bring money in each month before they even know they are going to accept you. And if they take months, or even years, as was my Rentista case (before the deposit system came in), you could end bringing in tens of thousands of dollars to...

    Visa Application Processing Time

    I can understand it taking months for an application for residency to be evaluated and approved (or years, as was my famous pandemic-affected case--nearly three years in fact). But the precaria, even in the depths of the pandemic, was always renewed on time. Without Migraciónes meeting this...

    Visa Application Processing Time

    If you've got all your documents in order when you arrive (entering as tourists), and with the lawyer's help, then Migraciones will issue a precaria fairly quickly, which is a paper document that functions like a permit to remain legally in the country (and travel out of the country) while they...

    Midterm election results

    There is plenty of analysis going on, from both the winners and losers. But this guy (the interviewee) was the only pollster who correctly predicted what would happen, on Thursday. He said the angry vote was spent in the September provincial election, just as the angry vote was registered on the...

    Midterm election results

    On the other hand, the comments sections of many YouTube videos are filled with cries of "fraud" to explain the massive swing in the PBA result in the few weeks since the provincial election. Amusing that the inverse possibility doesn't seem to occur to any of these pundits: that the dishonest...

    Cost of living in Argentina for foreigners improving?

    And yet now, suddenly, you want to lose the argument you had so hansomely won over two decades, finally decided in your favor on the other thread with the 29 thousand dollar dinner for two. Quit while you are ahead, man! If only one could buy a cake in BsA for only 10,000 pesos. That won't even...

    Wire dollars or use WU to send pesos?

    This is how it worked for me the first time with Santander: 1) I sent the money from my bank overseas. 2) Santander sent me a confusing email telling me the money had arrived and needed to be liquidated. 3) I went into Home Banking and on the left hand side of the screen choose the Menu and...

    Wire dollars or use WU to send pesos?

    If you are a Argentine tax resident not paying Argentine tax (I'm not suggesting you are), and if the tranfers are large, might it make them more visible to ACRA and more likely to trigger an audit? Might it prompt Santander (if it hasn't already) to ask you to declare your home country tax...

    These USA tourists were charged $30,000 for lunch in BsAs

    Yes, but you've finally won the argument. And all credit to you. So, time to stop now. OK?

    These USA tourists were charged $30,000 for lunch in BsAs

    I guess this finally settles the debate held over numerous threads and many years. Perry wins: Buenos Aires really is the most expensive city in the world to eat out. Thank god we can finally put the matter to bed once and for all.

    Landed in BA 3 days ago. I'm lost

    Worrying. For years I only accessed home (country) banking from the website from my home computer, which has good security and requires two sets of unguessable passwords/numbers to log on. Now, suddenly, the bank won't let me enter that way without first installing its app on the phone so it...

    Changes to Argentine Residency via Marriage – Official Resources?

    What Bajo is probably saying is the process following the recent changes is: 1.) Get married. 2.) Request temporary residency in the category of family reunion (unlike before, when marriage was a direct path to permanent residency). 3.) Be issued a precaria (just as has always happened in all...

    Changes to Argentine Residency via Marriage – Official Resources?

    More to the point, there have been widely publicised changes to migration recently, and these are now incorporated into the Migration Law: https://servicios.infoleg.gob.ar/infolegInternet/anexos/90000-94999/92016/texact.htm. Scroll down to Article 23, paragraph (ñ) to see that family...

    Changes to Argentine Residency via Marriage – Official Resources?

    If you have a look at the current thread "Where to start learning about taxes/Pensionado visa?" you will see a fellow called "Whattodo" who says he is currently is applying through family reunion for permanent residency. This is the official page where the National Migration Directorate lists...

    Where to start learning about taxes/Pensionado visa?

    The key point is this: just as Argentine tax law defines the rules for when an individual becomes a tax resident, loses tax residency (and then regains it having lost it), so too does UK law. And both these sets of rules operate independently of each other: you don't automatically lose tax...
