Since the 4x limit imposed on monthly transferers and deposits by the banks (at least Santander Rio) applies to anyone who has not registered with AFIP regarding their ingresos, all anyone should have to do for the banks to allow the higher level of monthly deposits is to regularize their offical "status" with AFIP.My rentista Visa stipulates that I bring the money into the country via SWIFT transfer from my US bank to my bank here and that's the only way it counts when I'm up for renewal (a new rule they added recently to the process-Western Union used to work fine). It's not great as they raised the amount needed to 5x the monthly minimum but the banks only allow you to bring in 4x the monthly minimum as they're trying to avoid anything that could appear as laundering, I'm assuming. Immigration still insists on 5x so no clue how my renewal will go next year. I appreciate your help, though. Every few months immigration or banking likes to throw a small and sturdy wrench in my plans.
The current limits were set by the bank(s), not by AFIP and expats with temporary visas were never the "specific targets" of these limits. It is certainly nota case of "one hand (migraciones) not knowing what the other hand (AFIP) is doing (as "scoffingly" asserted in another thread about the "new mandates.:
i seriously doubt that anyone whose foreign income was accepted by migraciones will have any probem with AFIP if they can provide the same paperwork that they submitted to migraciones when they applied for residency.
