    Crazy restaurant

    I would not consider the location in Caballito to be good food. Average at best.

    New mandate re money transfers?

    I can't find anyone else on other BA forums talking about running into new issues with WU transfers. Has anyone recently transferred from a US bank account to an Arg bank account without issue? I usually send it to my wife here.

    Selling gold and silver coins for apartment

    I had no problem selling well above spot at the coin fair this Sunday. Sounds like you bought too high and don't know how to sell. Sorry about that.

    Selling gold and silver coins for apartment

    The true amount of what and where? There is no mint here, and it's difficult to enter the country with metal. People want a truly private investment they can hold physically. Only precious metals can provide this. Price is on the way up.

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    I got caught in the memory day/communist protest today. These people ran over people in the San Telmo Market (tourists and locals not participating) and in moments there was hardly an escape. The leftist/commies demonstrated force and violence. Milei will not last with these brain dead...

    Selling gold and silver coins for apartment

    I don't have that experience. Of course, if you try to sell to a dealer, they will take advantage. But if I take my Morgans or Peace dollars to the coin fair here, the gentlemen offer me far more than what I would get in the States. The same for my historic gold coins. Also, if you look, you see...

    Selling gold and silver coins for apartment

    Not gold. Maybe if you keep it in your pocket. They are strict at the border with gold. I was able to do this with silver, but I was stopped and they kept me for a few hours to examine and get an experts opinion before letting me go.

    Rent options in BA

    Right, this is my concern. The last 3 months the IPC shows an increase of 36%, but the WU rate has not nearly increased that much in the last 3 months, so I would stand to pay a lot more in pesos if the same trend continues

    Expat AFIP taxes

    What I understand is don't get caught. You must pesify all income as an Argentine resident at the official rate, and likely, depending on your income at that rate, pay 35% taxes, on top of still being a tax subject of the US, thus making it pointless to live here.

    Expat AFIP taxes

    Looking at filing taxes with Afip. US expat earning income remote from an outside country depositing into US Bank account. Anyone with similar experience that can confirm 35% of total earned income is what's due in the top tax bracket here?

    Airport customs

    Thanks, but it's not a thorough list. For instance, it mentions nothing about gold or currency. I understand USD over 10k and gold has to be declared. But it says jewelry does not carry a duty. Would that include gold jewelry? It's not clear.

    Airport customs

    The last 2 times I flew into BA from the US they did not hand out customs forms, and I'm having a hard time finding an official updated list of what must be declared.

    Western Union money transfer

    I just realized I got an email with a 100% free transfer promo code good for 1 time before the 30th. What a bummer that it seems like there are no more available promo codes for everyone to use.
