    Income Taxes in the US & Argentina

    wasn't sure if this deviated enough to warrant a new thread - sorry if i'm piggybacking. I have a pretty complex tax situation - have worked in Aus, UK, US and now Arg in the past 5 years. I'm working en blanco here, temp visa. My company has offered me a consult with Deloitte's to clarify my...

    Good Hostel recommendations

    America del Sur hostel in San Telmo. Chacabuco y Chile from memory. Great double rooms with ensuite if you feel like some space and paying a bit more. I'm in no way affiliated with them, but stayed there a few months ago when I visited whilst meeting with my new company here. I've now moved...

    more places to hunt for places?

    Thanks all, good links. And good idea mmoon about talking to doormen. While I've got you, 2 other things I'd like to know. 1) Are there sites here for finding flatmates? In other places I've lived these sites help people meet before they find a share house, or a person with a spare room...

    more places to hunt for places?

    Ok, so I know about bastay, barentals, ByT, craigslist. And so far soloduenos has proved the best. Can anyone share other good ideas? I'm in the <2yr furnished category... will hope to extend a 6 month lease if the owner is cool with that. Thanks

    Finally a green light

    Hello all, Posted here saying hi a few months ago -- many, many visa/work delays since. But very thankfully we'll be arriving in a few weeks. Quick question: I'm aware of the import issues and duty costs, so we're not shipping anything. But even travelling light we'll have extra bags. Maybe...

    Lost in the abyss of visa application

    I don't know the exact details of the visa type - it's a company transfer to BsAs, with a big multinational. So far, the lawyers assisting me have requested a full passport scan, original birth certificate (with Apostille), and the criminal checks. My operating company in BsAs is providing the...

    Lost in the abyss of visa application

    Thanks both, all makes sense. So it sounds like there is little chance of working status (on the precaria), without 3x criminal checks. Do you think it would be worth pushing my lawyers to try?

    Lost in the abyss of visa application

    Thanks Steve, to clarify: Yep, 3 countries in the last 5 years. Australian passport and citizen, with UK and US work visas in current passport. I'm not looking at permanent residency at this point, simply applying for my work visa. But I'm not exactly sure what the residencia precaria status is...

    Lost in the abyss of visa application

    Hey all, Lots of posts about the nuts and bolts of visa/residency documentation, which have really helped, thanks. Just wanted to get a sense check though, maybe your experiences might help me speed things up. So, this is where I'm at: - Original birth certificate is in Australia - Criminal...

    Any Aussies watching the World Cup?

    I am Australian and would love to join the crew. My girlfriend is German, so there will be someone to gloat in front of if all goes to plan. Here's a website devoted to my Australian pilgrimage to Germany for the last world cup. If you look closely at the video that loads on the landing page...

    Renting: short or long

    Thanks all. Have only called out a few points but it's all helpful stuff. The 1-month rental is a solid idea. I did a similar thing in London and it worked well. In NY I didn't and it worked spectacularly, but I recognise how lucky that was. One of us is helped by our employer for the visa...

    Renting: short or long

    Hey all, There may be some crossover into existing posts so apologies - but I wanted to check your views based on current rental market conditions. Shortly we (couple) will be transferring to BA for 12-14 months minimum. Palermo and San Telmo look like probable Barrios, but very open to...

    Australian + German = BA

    Just an introduction note... hello. My girlfriend Annie (German) and I are moving to BA in a few months. We've spent the past few years living and working in London and NYC. I have a work transfer organised so that generally makes some stuff less painful (bank accounts, etc.), but I'm sure...
