Had a taxi driver break my rear turn light and dent one of my side-bags on my BMW motorcycle 4 years ago. He looked right at me, shrugged his shoulders, and drove off. I caught him at the next light, got off by bike, and with a swift boot kick sent his driver's side mirror onto the street. With...

Ok, to be clear ... a foreign buyer will need to provide tax info to AFIP or is this only for Argentines?

Ok, so... If: 1. Both the buyer and seller are outside of Argentina and a deal is in place 2. The deal is for more than $600,000AR (see #1 need below) Then they need: 1. A COTI for the deal 2. An escribano to say that the funds transferred hands here in Argentina And if: 1. None, or a...

If I'm selling property here do I need to have an inmobilaria in the mix or can I just get my own escribano and do the deal between two parties? Relatedly, if those two parties happen to have accounts outside of Argentina can they do the money swap between their respective accounts and never...

You actually ARE being ripped off in this case - but it's not what you think, ie Gringo Tax. IVA was originally for manufactured goods (think TVs, Cars, Clothes, etc). Then several years ago the government put IVA on "all" goods and services since they couldn't steal enough with the previous...

I would never tell Aduana how much $US I had on me coming through EZE. I might put something like $300US and leave it at that. Also, you might want to hire a remis for him from the airport to your place. Not that expensive and safer than taxis.

Much more than in the US. I was a long-haul driver for 5 years and for a decent company. It was a very cool job IF you were single, no kids, no apartment. I lived in my truck 24/7, had large flat-screen satellite tv, internet, microwave, girlfriends in many cities, and all the new views out my...

What will happen to the price of real estate as Dollars disappear? How will the devaluation of the Peso affect the prices? Many thanks!

Yes, that's probably true. If anyone wants to check the real estate prices in any city in the USA here is a great source: Altos Research What I was getting at is whether you are using a straightforward $US to $US comparison using the exchange rate. Or, if you were using some sort of proxy for...

I can now say I participated in my first protest. Pretty darn fun. Need a new pot now, though.

That's the official position and it makes financial sense - though a bit heavy-handed. Now, whether that money will go to country's coffers to help pay their debts or into someone's pocket is a different, and arguable, issue.

How would that be true? He isn't renouncing his US citizenship. Simply adding a second. As a US citizen, he would be entitled to all protections and benfefits thereoff, yes?

By what method are you using to consider whether BsAs is "expensive" vs. USA or Europe? Thank you.

I haven't heard a strong argument yet for keeping the Dollar as the "defacto" currency for real property, or anything for that matter, in Argentina. Having a foreign currency subplant the national currency is a disaster waiting to happen - eg current Argentina econmic events. Argentina (I...

It's gonna look pretty obvious to Customs what you are doing (in their eyes circumventing the import process). It really depends on their mood at the moment. they might not even look at the screen when you pass through. Or, they might be looking in EVERY nook, cranny, and fold for "smuggled"...

If you are a foreign investor would you buy property here to rent? Would you do it now given the exchange rate? Would you be under the radar?

The Argentine government's budget is based upon projected growth of 5.1%, however analysts are predicting 2.5% to 3.0% growth which will certainly put a dent in the government spending that has been a key economic driver over the last decade. The slowdown is due in part to a dry crop season...

How did you do this? Filing the forms isn't free.

The advice given is accurate, based on personal experience. As a U.S. citizen married to a Brazilian and currently residing in Argentina, the process of obtaining a green card for your wife was navigated successfully. Immigration authorities prioritize understanding the individual's intent...
