I am making a leap but guessing most foreigners working at a call center in negro are probably of the transient variety and just "passing through". So a lawsuit is probably not a viable option since I would betfew will still be in Arg by the time it goes to trial. It also sounds like Bill...

Not unusual at all. Yes, you pay in full before you get the car. They probably didn't have it in stock and it takes a long time to get them in. I knew someone who had to wait several months for his car. I would go down and find out when your car will *really* be available. And remember, manana...

Moving on from the bashing of the US, it is a very disturbing sign. To be honest, I'm getting less and less comfortable and more and more grateful that my money isn't sitting in the banking system here.

And the ability to accurately forecast out for more than 3 months in advance:rolleyes::D I posted a while back - we stopped adding projects and HC in Arg b/c of the ridiculous costs of doing business here. My latest - I had an employee that I had to let go. He wasn't performing on one project...

Thank you to the property owners for posting real numbers. I constantly read pepole griping how expensive short-term rentals are and most people have NO idea how expensive it is to have a property here. And you guys haven't even factored in the expense of furnishing the apt in the first place...

Dealers have to follow the official exchange rate. Private sellers may/may not - when I bought my car, I offered dollars but the seller needed the pesos for buying his new car and needed to provide the provenance of the money . So I exchanged them with at the unofficial rate and paid him his...

Yep, my BF opened one in FL. I think banks can make a decision and again, esp in S. Florida, they seem pretty open about it. He had to do it in person, he had to give them a US mailing address but there wasn't an issue.

Snow, banks in Florida tend to be very good about working with foreigners - they're used to it. Best bet is to open an account around Miami area. I know for a fact BOA will do it. You will need to be there in person and you will need some type of US mailing address. Other that that, you should...

Well, I'm here and intending to stay here. However, as I've posted, we're not going to do more business here and let the existing business wind down. Several of my close friends (porteños included) are planning on leaving in the next year. Which sucks since I thought when I stopped hanging out...

I don't know - even when times were good - very few "expats" lasted more than a year or two at most. And now that things are getting expensive and security is getting worse (or at least it feels that way), it is any shock that people would leave earlier than expected? I have chosen to make my...

The point is that you're always better off having a local who knows what the going rate is do the negotiating for you. Again, that's a truism in every country, not just here. No need to hide the family

Contractors worldwide are somewhat notorious for overcharging, but the quoted price for your bathroom seems excessively high. Consider seeking recommendations, perhaps from your portero, who may have a list of trusted workers. It's advisable to have a local make the initial call, and negotiating...

Certainly, I can affirm that a company must undergo the laborious process of registration with migraciones to legally employ foreigners. Without such registration, it is not permissible for them to hire foreign workers. Regarding the remaining aspects, I agree with MizzMarr. The era of bohemian...

I concur. The key factor here is whether you entered into a signed contract. If you did and subsequently departed before the agreed-upon term, it's likely that you waived your claim to the deposit, even if he promptly secured a new tenant.

As a business person who has a vested interest in seeing this country succeed, I hope that Argentina puts together a comprehensive plan for economic growth, lifts some restrictions to enable businesses to invest in Argentina and becomes a more diverse economy. Personally, as a business person...

Hello Will, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It would be advisable to consult with a lawyer to explore your options. You might consider serving him legal documents when he is entering or leaving the concert, as this could be an opportune moment. Additionally, it's worth speaking to the...

I thin the thing I find so fascinating (at the risk of sounding horribly insensitive) is having a villa right next to a hugely expensive area. It just doesn't compute to me. It's like picturing a slum being built in Central Park right next to the Met. I don't actually know what the answer is...
