News For This Week

The longer we are involved in doing what we can to provide good information to potential expats, the more we see errors in other publications. And are we critical? Absolutely not! Now that we are doing it ourselves we understand how difficult it is to get everything right. Good information is sometimes hard to find. And if you read the same thing everywhere, especially on the web sites of professionals, you tend to assume it is true. Not necessarily so.

We receive quite a few financial and other newsletters, and we pass on some of the good stuff to you. This morning we received news from Yahoo about getting citizenship in Argentina. They said you had to spend three years getting permanent residency and then two years to citizenship. Not so. That law went out 30 years ago. But I, myself, was cited the old law by a lawyer–others confirmed it–and I went to our current lawyer one day for something else and he asked to look at my document and said, “You were eligible for citizenship in 2009.” And that was where I found out what the current law really is.  On that day we began my citizenship application and ten months later I had my citizenship. But I still get occasional articles, like this Yahoo one, that cites a 30-year-past law.

It now takes, under normal circumstances, two years to get citizenship here. It can vary with circumstances, but you don’t have to be  permanent first. And currently the clock starts to run when your passport is stamped upon entry. But even that is up to the judge in the case. Some may award citizenship even if you were here two years illegally, if you can prove presence, whereas another might not, although a good lawyer might well successfully argue the case. But in any event, the time is two years, not five.

Another high-visibility publication this week printed an article stating that you can’t give up U.S. citizenship until you first have a second citizenship. One of our very own Uruguay expats, not only a friend but a long time resident of Uruguay, and now Paraguay, recently gave up his U.S. citizenship and is now stateless, thus proving that you certainly can do it without a second citizenship. Whether you or I would choose to do that is quite another subject. But you can do it according to the law and tested and proven by one of our favorite expats!

Then two weeks ago we published a news item about Chase Bank was no longer sending foreign wires. They had sent a letter to account holders to inform them that they could no longer send overseas wire transfers from their account. As it turns out, apparently they indeed sent such a letter to holders of a certain type of account but they have other accounts from which they will send foreign wires. Chase Manhattan has not stopped sending money by wire to foreign countries. People who need to do that need to sign up for a different account, apparently. But we are continuing to receive notices that Chase Manhattan was not going to wire transfer outside the United States any more. Even now.

However, among our subscribers we have the most knowledgeable, aware, down-to-earth people anywhere. A lot of what we print in the newsletter comes out of emails from you and we give credit when we have permission to do so. You are a special lot! We received a number of emails with information about Chase Manhattan and one impressive, in depth piece of research from one expat. We LOVE our subscribers. Every one of you! As noted before, we installed software that screens out spam and so the comments are open again, any time you want to place additional information in comments. You can’t do comments on the email but if you go to the article on the web site, the comments section is at the bottom. But of course we also welcome your emails.

Yes, we’re still going to Chile, for those of you who are wondering. We’ve had a few delays.

The feature video on our site is one block from our location in Buenos Aires. Perhaps this will give you a further idea of what it is like to live in Buenos Aires. In fact, we took you to this shopping center one day to visit. In case you forgot, that article is here:  Palermo in Buenos Aires You have to admit, when it comes to “flash mobs” Buenos Aires has class! (Hint: Make sure it is set to start at the beginning if you want to hear and see it all. Otherwise it may start half-way through.)

 

 

33 Acre Home Site For Sale By Expat

Here is an expat item for sale. The feature photo at the start of this newsletter is from this farm. This appeals to us from the picture, particularly the water. We thought perhaps you would like to see it. It is a few miles out of Trienta y Tres–which is a negative for some but exactly what others are looking for. It might be just right for one of our arriving expats. Steve tells us that he also has a windmill in New Hampshire that he was going to ship for use in Uruguay that will go with it if the buyer is interested.

Drought Free Brook On This Hideaway – 33 Acres With Trees

Uruguay2Asking Price: $50,000 USD  (Negotiable)

Originally I bought this land to build a home and retire on and start a green farm. I need cash now though so I will have to sacrifice this great land. It took me nearly a year of hunting to finds this place. It has a brook that runs year round even in droughts so its great for animal husbandry and farming.

There is electricity nearby if you want it. I planned to go off the grid but no need if you like power its available.

There is 3G cell phone service on the land and you can use it to get on line as well. If your looking for a hideaway place to get away from it all and relax then this is the place for you. The neighbors on both sides are very cool and are from the USA. Current rancher leasing the property for grazing maintains the fences and watches after the place.

There are some eucalyptus trees on the property as well. There is a gentle slope to the brook/Stream and as you can see in the pictures its quite picturesque.
