I just got an email from my bank saying I need to formally register with AFIP. It is citing UIF Resolution 14/2023 which seeks to prevent money laundering and financing of terrorism. It says they need to better understand my financial situation and origin of my income. It says if I don't...

Is it possible to open up a bank account over the water if you are living here? silly question?
