Thanks Garry. Good to know you did not have any problems. Was this the first time you. have done this? Or have you done it multiple times?

Same. One of the Australian friends I know is just here on a tourist visa and routinely overstays and pays the fine. That is what I did. I didn't have any problems but my friend that has done it multiple times said they flagged him at EZE when he was paying the overstay fee. Maybe they will...

I don't think banks typically let you without having residence but I talked to a guy from Australia that just bought a property here. He only had his cdi number and he went to this Banco Galicia at Luis Maria Campos 1349. Talk to a banker named Nicolas. He asked for a utility bill and they...

Based on what I heard today, going through a money exchange firm and liquidating crypto and getting cash isn't legal. I don't have any crypto anyway. I will just do it a legal way or try to find a seller that has an account outside of Argentina and wire directly. That sounds like the easiest and...

Thank you to everyone that gave me advice on this post. I just met and did a consultation and I understand things now. It was very confusing, especially on understanding everything with the payment of an apartment in cash. Thank you to all for all the good advice.

Hope he has a good birthday. He has done so much good for the country so far.

Thank you! This is very helpful to read about. I asked my realtor if anyone does these here and they said no and it did not exist. I am glad I found this website!

Very helpful! Thank you. I just read it. I will use that company if I move forward with the purchase. I definitely will do an inspection. This is required back home. Thank you so much Oatmeal. I agree it is musical chairs. Good way to look at it. I can't afford to get stuck paying huge capital...

Whatever you do, do NOT send any contacts here via courier service. A friend did and it got stopped at customs and they wanted 3X the cost of them.

Thanks! I just contacted them to schedule a meeting. This is all an eye-opener. Many things I didn't think about before. In my case it wasn't the seller trying to squeeze more money. She already signed the written offer and agreed. And then after that the realtor called me to tell me the part...

Does buying an apartment or property here in Argentina help with the process of applying for residency here or getting permanent residency?

Thank you to everyone that answered! I didn't even think about the tax issues! I don't plan to sell it anytime soon but it is a good idea to think about this. The realtor and the lawyer didn't mention taxes. I would feel more comfortable using the real price but the seller refuses to sell using...

Help. I just found this forum. I am in the middle of buying a condo in Buenos Aires and my offer was accepted by the seller in writing. But now they are telling me that they won't move forward with the transaction unless I use a fake very low price on the title deed! The realtor told me this is...
