Any chance of the OP arranging a deal with the US company for it to split his salary by paying a portion it to his Arg account via its BA office and the balance to his US account?

Is the OP being taken by his US employer -eg. it already has a surfeit of pesos in Arg and so it can reduce some of that by paying his salary in pesos because along came this US employee who expresses a desire to move to Arg?

That is once approach we are looking into and will probably happen in some form - just trying to define what that balance will be.

I've been working with our Argentina office for a few years now, and they came to me because of that background. There are also some strategic designs behind the assignment; long story short, they need me there more than I want to go there, so I should be able to have them meet my requirements as long as it is within the legal requirements.

I would check out HSBC. I was pleased that when I spent time in Panama I used their ATM machines just like I did back home and there were no fees. Perhaps they might be able to help you figure out the best option for your situation. Good luck!
