Not a joke, unfortunately...

Foreign nationals who have been in the country for more than 90 days must now present a CUIL when picking up money from any of the money transfer services (Xoom, Azimo, etc). Of course, to get a CUIL, you need a DNI and therefore must be a legal resident.

Here is what Azimo posted on Twitter: https://twitter.com/azimomoney/status/583629738473816064
 
90 days is the length Of an tourist visa. If you're not irregular this shouldn't be a problem.
 
Is this effective from today? What about sending the money to someone who is an national, that would just skirt the issue no?

Edit: Ignore the first question, saw the Twitter post
 
Sure, a national will have a CUIL. All they want is a way to track it for AFIP.

For example, I am going to send money to my wife, who is a national, will she get heat for that from AFIP? I have been putting off going for a DNI myself, perhaps now is the time, is there a temporary CUIL while your doing the papers?
 
Hmmm... If you have a DNI, but are working remotely for a company in the US or Europe - can you still obtain the CUIL?
