    Stunning 1 BR in Colegiales

    What's so "stunning" about it? Looks like a normal, furnished one bedroom Colegiales rental to me.

    Rentista passive income through irrevocable trust?

    You are overthinking this. The asset selection is not that complicated and it's not that important. If money is no object and you want a bulletproof application for a residencia rentista, buy some rental real estate in the US that rents for more than $2K monthly and use the rental contract in...

    Rentista passive income through irrevocable trust?

    As a previous rentista holder, in my experience, the irrevocable trust part is irrelevant. Migraciones wants to know that a) you own an investment that throws off sufficient monthly income to meet the requirement; b) the certainty of that monthly cash flow is very high; and c) said funds are...

    Visa Rentista and the need for pesification

    I believe that when you apply for renewal of the rentista residency, Migraciones will ask for a record of your monthly passive income transfers. That's what happened to me.

    Argentina Versus Colombia to Retire

    Most people would say the food is way, way better in Argentina. Personally, I liked the Colombian food. But the criticism is that it lacks variety and elaboration - the recipes are simple. Access to banking services and ease of financial transactions, Colombia is superior. Then again, for...

    Meeting the rentista passive income requirement using a peso bank account?

    The rentista residency is not what it used to be. Compliance now requires the holder to transfer said passive income from their foreign bank account to their Argentine bank account on a monthly basis - at the official peso rate. Hence going forward, residencia rentista will be an expensive way...

    New rentista requirements: 2000 usd per person

    In my recent experience with Migraciones, as a holder of a residencia rentista, Migraciones is demanding bank statements that show DIRECT transfer of monies from my pertinent bank account in the US to my Argentine bank account.

    A bonus when lawyer does a good job ?

    My guess is the property manager will keep all or a portion of the $500. Under no circumstances would I provide extra compensation to the lawyer. And in my eyes, the property manager is complicit for even making that request. On it's face, the request is ridiculous.

    Good Property Manager ?

    I met Max when he was property manager for an apartment I rented several years ago. He speaks perfect English and operates like an American property manager. Whenever there was a problem, he was on it immediately - usually resolved that same day. He was honest and fair in all our dealings.

    Cheap EZE to MIA flights with Aerolineas?

    I had a flight reservation with AR a few months ago. I purchased the refundable fare. AR changed the flight time by about two hours; the arrival time no longer fit my schedule, so I cancelled. AR informed me that my $28.500 pesos would be available in 120 days. It's been about 140 days and still...
