I haven't done any research on what the rules are for U.S. citizens living abroad regarding the Affordable Care Act (aka, Obamacare). Does anyone know if we are exempt? And if so, how I can properly inform the U.S. government (the IRS, I suppose) that I live overseas? Feel free to make this...

I'm renting an apartment where I pay the bills for the landlord and get paid back. I totally forgot to pay three months of the ABL (and one month for Edenor). I went yesterday to pay the bills at a RapiPago, and they wouldn't let me pay, saying, "They're expired" (Están vencidos). What can I...

Help, My job is asking me to pay a lawyer an 850 peso fee to help me renew my VISA. Is it really that complicated? Is there a good site that explains the procedure well (best in English), so I can convince them I can do it myself? Any help is greatly appreciated.

My passport, along with my DNI, credit cards, and bank card was stolen over the weekend. I am going to the embassy tomorrow to request an emergency passport, and I need to know what I should bring. I can't really take more than one day off work for this, and so I want to make sure I arrive at...

This feels weird to ask, but I could really use some help in figuring out how much per month (within the first 6-12 months) baby supplies might cost. I can do the simple math of checking prices, but my ignorance goes deeper. I don't even know how many of each item I'd need to know how to...

Hey everyone, my wife and I have been in BA for little over a year now working and living a normal Porteño life. Celebrating the one year mark, we put together a list of 10 things about life in BA that were once not normal to us, but now are. I'd love to hear anything else you think should be...

Yesterday, I went to Carmelo, Uruguay, for a single day visa run out of Tigre. I had heard the immigration folks on the return into Tigre can be tough. That turned out to be my experience. As soon as the guy saw that I'd done this run three time before, he immediately looked up and said, "You...

I found this very helpful article about the current Subte strike in the Montreal Gazette. I hadn't known about some of the details mentioned. Thought it was worth sharing. http://www.montrealgazette.com/business/Buenos+Aires+subway+strike+amid+power+struggle+between+president/7077265/story.html

I signed up for Club La Nación online to subscribe to the paper and start receiving the discounts at stores, but when they called back they said I had to have an Argentine credit or debit card. I only have my cards from the U.S., which they said they won't take. Has anyone else experienced this...

I have an appt with migraciones tomorrow to start the work visa/DNI process. I don't have all the necessary documents, however. I don't have my birth certificate translated or my FBI background check completed. Is it still worth it to get the process started or will they simply turn me away...
