Hey, everyone is different with their own levels of preference in medical care. "Really not bad" hospitalization while giving birth in a foreign country might be fine for some women...

Bottom line, don't give birth in a public hospital. Pay for private. Usually you can sign up for private medical insurance for you and the baby, even as late as one month before you give birth, (I did this at Hospital Aleman just last year) but it's a little late for that--so just bite the...

Kathryn, I was 6 months pregnant when I got Hospital Aleman's "Plan Medico" insurance, just last year. So it's possible. But, let me tell you, even though I came here with all my medical records from my OB in the USA, I still had to get a few tests done. This took a couple weeks time of me in...

Wow. Sounds like you deserve a drink. Question-If you shot one of them on your property, would you be in legal trouble? Or in your full right? I'm not sure how it works here and I better figure it out soon lol

This could get messy, as divorce often does with children involved. I would DOCUMENT and have physical EVIDENCE of the abuse (photos, time stamped, for example). I don't know how Argentine courts work. But I'm guessing they will be more empathetic of the mother unless you provide proof of abuse...

If there is any way you can work online and get paid in USD, I would do so. It's how a lot of young people (like me) "make it" here!

Check out the Punilla Valley (where many Argentine natives retire). It's beautiful and has its own international community.

ARCA. I have permanent residency thanks to them, or else I wouldn't have known what I was doing.

We had to spend time in BA also, (to sort out our permanent residencies) even though we live in Cordoba. It wasn't that much time in the grand scheme of things. But I cannot speak to the "border run" question...wouldn't an official have to stamp something, though?

Dada, I miss you. Musicman: since you hate conversing with expats so much, it seems silly to come to us for advice. Ask your Argie friends or contacts what they think about your milli. If they are genuine friends you can trust, they'll give you good feedback.

Oh my. I'm so sorry. I'm glad you found Andalucia. Despite no crime experience, I do feel much safer now that I've relocated within Argentina (La Cumbre area).

I never experienced crime when I lived in BsAs.....probably because I was carrying a baby the entire time and that put off "bad" people from targeting me. Has anyone tried carrying a baby for protection? :P (Warning: You will, however, be targeted by sweet old women, making your commute twice as...

Thanks for the responses. I'll pass the info along.

Hi guys, My family is planning on shipping their car from the U.S. here when they move this year but are running into some questions regarding import taxes on said car. How are import taxes determined on vehicles entering Argentina? Is there a formula for how the government determines the...
