So if you are proving that you deposit us$2000/month in an Arg bank according to your Rentista residency, how do you get the money into an Arg bank if you are going to be out of the country for 5 weeks? Won't immigrations be upset if you miss a month's deposit?

Do Arg banks commonly allow you to regularly transfer small sums (e.g. us$2000 every month) from your U.S. bank (or Schwab) account? Can you do it online (e.g. use your U.S. account's website to transfer to Arg account) or do you have to go to the Arg branch in person every time? Thanks

I think the biggest advantage of obtaining citizenship is that your future rights will be more secure: the rights of permanent residents are far more likely to be screwed with than the rights of citizens. As much as I love Argentina, I think it's prudent to remember that it is a volatile...

Be careful of the guys. In my four years experience, I've come to believe that 50% of all Argentine men visit brothels or would if they could afford to do so. And almost every single time I'm go out with a male friend's group of friends, they either (A.) end the night at a brothel or (B.)...

As an American expat, I exclusively date South Americans. It's just a personal preference that primarily comes down to how culture influences personality (e.g. reality TV isn't the primary topic of conversation like with the 22-25yos in SF and NYC . . .). And I have a preference for dark hair...

I got it done today. I went to the station at Cabildo 232 (Comisario 31). I lingered at the front desk for 5 minutes and then someone asked what I wanted. I said fingerprints (huellas digitales), but my Castellano is not great so they misunderstood and whipped out a Certificado de Domicilio. I...

(Pertaining to FBI records request for residency) I've heard people complain that their fingerprints, taken here in Argentina, were rejected by the FBI. 1. Could anyone recommend a police station where they do a good job of taking fingerprints? Perhaps I should visit a couple and include 2-3...

Thank you for the help everyone. But there is confusion in this thread. (SteveinBsas did touch on it best though) Let's clarify something: There are two types of RE agents: those representing the seller and those representing the buyer. Here, the buyer ends up paying most of the seller's...

I know you are trying to be helpful, and thanks, but unfortunately none of that info is applicable to the topic. I'm specifically asking about the ordinary real estate offices that have listings in the window (sellers' agents). Rather than fumbling my way through it, I thought I'd ask some...

How do real estate offices work (the ones with all the listings in the windows)? How does one traditionally interact with them? Walk in (or set an appointment) and ask what they have in certain specifications? I do not want to hire a real estate agent to find properties for me -- I want to do...

I've read about people qualifying with only a savings account, but with something like us$200-300k in it. Unfortunately I've had no luck tracking down the reports nor anything related.

I'm going to try to obtain my rentista temporary residency and I was wondering: - Can I qualify with a bank account that has a large amount of money in it? - How much money would be needed? I have read some good recommendations about setting up a trust (such as SteveinBsAs's, thanks). But I...
