    Seems citizenship by investment is kind of dead in the water?

    I'm not rich enough for this route (jaja) but it seems the bid to find a company to administer the operation is kind of... well, left to die by the side of the road? This article is above my head in terms of legaleze (and bureaucratic -eze), but it sounds like the government can't even manage...

    Government plans U.S.-style immigration reform

    Not the news I was hoping for as I'm seemingly stalled out in the process of getting from precaria to temporary visa rentista. Sounds like they want their own version of ICE? "The government is finalizing the technical details to formalize the creation of a new immigration agency that will...

    One-way travel with precaria

    Now that I have my precaria (yay!) can I book my return flight as a one-way, and not have issues? Otherwise, I'll do the return flight I can cancel, but this would be easier. Thanks! I'm assuming it's fine, but wanted to check with the expat experts.

    How to hire workmen when you don't know the exact time?

    So I have 16 boxes of tiles delivered tomorrow between 9 am and noon, and just found out the delivery guys don't touch the boxes... I need to hire some big dudes to take them off the truck and up a flight of stairs. But since there's not an exact time, how do I coordinate? Hire big dudes to sit...

    Anyone know a good tax/immigration consultant?

    I'm still trying to figure out whether it makes sense to apply for temporary/permanent residency or continue as a yearly tourist, and a lot has to do with taxes. I read online various 'facts' as to how long you reside in country before becoming a tax resident (after 9 months a year? after 12...

    Requirements for Rentista Visa

    So it looks like theyŕe going to raise minimum wage to $22.268 (a week?), which divided by 800 pesos per dollar, times 5 weeks a month is about $140USD. Before I couldnt apply for Rentista because you need 5x minimum salary, and it was calculated using official rate, which at the time was almost...

    What does this election mean for immigrants?

    Of course, the economy; which is probably going to favor those earning in dollars either way. (I assume Milei less in favor of a wealth tax?) But I see he also favors ¨certain restrictions to foreign nationals, such as the payment of residency fees, the prohibition of entry to those with...

    Legality of repeated Western Union cash pickups?

    This is not me, but a friend who's living there for half a year writes:"Just had a consultation with a lawyer and since I’m living here long term he was advising I not use western union all the time since I could get flagged and worst case given 30 days to become legal before getting deported."...
