I've seen that happening with sales of properties, but remember you can legally bring in US$10,000 undeclared each time you cross into the border of Argentina, therefore if for example you have ten entrance stamps over a couple of years that is effectively US$100,000 of cash in "white" in Argentina.

Hi, if you contact your embassy they should give you a list of public schools to contact. Otherwise you could check the online issues of BA Insider ( http://www.bainsidermag.com/ ) as I remember they were giving a list I believe of public schools in the capital and province of Buenos Aires.

Cordoba y Thames on the Palermo side (give or take a block on cordoba)

Maybe it's because the decision makers in Argentina from the beginning were elected mainly because of their wealth as opposed to intelligence, whereas maybe the US had a more democratic system for selecting leadership from the beginning that chose decision makers more heavily based on their...

You could go to the reclamation houses around cordoba and fitz roy where they sell lots of old metal, then get them to make one - there is a professional welder that works in one who i've used for making things in the past. You just need to design it, buy some metal and he'll make it, probably...

A friend of mine had an electricity bill for 500 pesos the other day, which i don't quite understand as he lives on his own. Maybe someone is tapping into his cables, or they have just put up the cost. It is quite worrying though this whole raising in electricity and gas - i guess it would be a...

I think it's just a different mentality in Argentina as they have a history of governments infinitely printing money leading to hyper inflation, so people end up buying more when they see prices are going up as fear things will only become more expensive! I suppose this mentality is changing a...

I think what's more scandalous is the price of sushi in BA that seems to have almost doubled in the last couple of years. I am a huge sushi fan but now it just seems ridiculously overpriced. Think i will learn to make it myself.

Colon is a nice place in the summer when you can sit out in the plaza for dinner, I think it's quite a nice historic town. Paysandu on the other hand is one of the most uneventful places i've ever been to and don't think i'll be going back soon.

I'd recommend trying to set something up yourself here in Buenos Aires. It is the perfect place for entrepeneurs as there are a lot of unexplored opportunities for businesses that you can see have worked well in say London or New York and just don't exist here (plus a lot less aggressive...

Good luck with it. The whole residency process in Argentina is supposed to be getting easier, at least that's what one might be lead to believe anyway. There is rumour that the government are taking steps to encourage more foreigners to get residency here - whether it will happen is another story!

Yes the reason why he doesn't want to get a permit is it's a real hassle to apply for with the municipalidad and takes months, plus on top of that they might reject it. I think maybe better that he goes ahead with the construction but the worry is that if the municipalidad then decide to knock...

Hi thanks for the info to both of you - his neighbour has already agreed to sign an escribano stamped document in regards to permitting the construction so that is no problem. The only question really is what will happen if the municipalidad catch that he's built something on his terrace without...

Hi does anyone have any experience of building extensions to their properties in BA, eg building more rooms on terraces etc? The reason i ask is I have a friend looking to build a room + bathroom on his terrace, around 20m2 total and wanted to know what would happen if he didn't submit plans to...

Big M - go to the department of Immigration which is located in Puerto Madero and they will tell you exactly what you need

I have not experienced anyone selling property on a temporary resident visa so I couldn't tell you although the AFIP could tell you.

Basically as a foreigner you need to apply for permission to sell the property from the tax office before you can sell. This process needs to be done in conjunction with an accountant and can take up to 50 days to complete - the AFIP will ask for various bits of documentation eg how you got the...

The times for obtaining DNI vary but 3-4 months can often be acheived if you don't have any delays with paperwork - the big delays often come from people trying to get documents from their own countries stamped etc. A lot of people who we've helped get DNI's are for the reason of owning...

Yes but I was thinking of it in that there will be an additional 700 billion dollars in circulation in the system
