Residing in the city, I initially believed it was convenient to go without a car. However, the freedom of not relying on anyone and being able to go wherever and whenever I want has its appeal. Particularly during rainy days, finding a cab can be quite challenging. I'm not sure about the...

Anyone can open an account on an Uruguayan bank with just a personal recommendation, (not even with proof of residence anywhere). Just ask someone who already has an account to officially 'recommend' you

If you really feel your pesos are worthless, I'm happy to take them off your hands. I'll even come over to your place and save you the trip of bringing them to me. :D:D Can you all stop the rhetoric about how the peso is worth nothing? The peso is worth $0.15 USD. There are thousands of...

My old man sold his apt back in 2008 when the whole conflict with the campo blew up. He got jittery and wanted out of Argentina ASAP. Anyway, it was still complex back then, but we were able to convince AFIP that I was living there. I was assuming the OP's wife and cousin are Argentines, but...

Right, but since his wife and cousin could have been living there he can argue that the apartment was being used by someone and he was not getting rent. I had this same situation when I handled the sale of an apartment owned by my father. He was not a resident, but I was, so I could tell the...

If your wife and wife's cousin are both on good terms with you, I would try to sell it right away, without getting your divorce finalized in Argentina. Pick someone who you trust 100% who is also an Argentine resident and then transfer them the property. You can apply for the AFIP certificate...

Wow, you are really screwed. Here's all the problems with the situation you are in: 1. If the original escritura says you are married, you will have to get your ex-wife's consent to sell your part of the condo. If you don't get her consent, you have to have your overseas divorce registered in...

It is 14 calendar days and you have a right to take them together and during summer. The company can also obligate you to take them during a certain period (as long as it is during summer) by sending you an official notification. This is based on the Ley de Contrato de Trabajo, which is the...

This article is bogus. If you are Repsol or some other huge international firm looking to get in bed with the government, then perhaps it is difficult to make money now and things aren't as easy as it was before. If you are trying to sell real estate in dollars, same deal. I know real estate...

Tonight there is a nationwide protest march against Cristina and the kronies in her government. We'll be marching to preserve the constitution, against Korruption, for increased security, and a whole host of other reasons. In the city of Buenos Aires we'll be gathering at Santa Fe/Callao and...

Starbucks Argentina is owned by Grupo Alsea, a publicly traded company based in Mexico. They operate Burger King and all Starbucks locations in Argentina. So I don't know who you met, but he wasn't the "owner" of a Starbucks location. Starbucks locations are not franchised out, except to huge...

This is a crazy rumor. Arcos Dorados (the McDonald's master franchisee for Latin America) is an expert in crazy markets and unstable governments. They have been prospering for decades and they are one of the top 10 employers in Latin America. Plus they import almost nothing. All the beef, french...

The introduction of dual exchange rates and the emergence of the blue dollar have led to a devaluation of approximately 40% for everything priced in pesos in Argentina, including salaries, services, and consumer goods. However, since property prices have traditionally been denominated in...

I highly recommend Cecilia Varela. She is an architect and interior designer and is fantastic (not much English though). http://ceciliavarela.com.ar/ She has a crew for any job you'd need done in the Capital and has done serious remodel work for me (like the kind you are looking for). Look at...
