How are you? I just read your response to Martin and noted you paid have 50 pesos to "get a new temporary import permit" for your bike... Did you get it???

I understand you put you bike on a truck to Buenos Aires and made arragements for a new "temporary importation permit."

How is your truck driver or Javier obtaining the permit??? I have consulted with my attorney here in Buenos Aires and discovered that a "certified translation" and "legalization" of you passport, drivers lincense, registration papers and the letter explaining the reason the bike will be overstaying is all necessary before a new permit or extention of existing permit will be issued. And of course there is the fee, which I believe is about $100.00 US.
To have a "certified translation" of each document costs a minimum of 65 dollars US and each document must be "legalized" for another $30.00 each US.

I went through all this before I was able to obtain my permanent residence here in Buenos Aires. I never waited less than 2.5 hours for each separate document I had to have legalized, who is paying for the time of someone to do this for you?

Hopefully, you have found a better way, or this will be a heads up for you that will enable you to avoid problems later on. Please respond, because if you have found a better way, without incurring the above described costs, to procure or extend a temporary import permit for a foreign registered vehicle in Argentina, without you physically being here, I would like very much to know. Please respond, thanks xfiltrate
