    Nature day trip from BsAs with public transport

    Thanks! I'll look into Villa Ocampo. We did take a lancha around the Delta and saw Casa Sarmiento - was lovely. We would do a Colonia trip perhaps but last I checked, you need a PCR, which we don't want to mess with for a day trip.

    Nature day trip from BsAs with public transport

    Hi all. Sorry, I haven't quite been able to find a thread with this exact question (but do point me towards it if there is one). We're looking for a day trip on public transport outside of BsAs where we can get some nature and/or spend the day in a laidback town. We've gone to San Antonio de...

    Western Union money transfer

    When I did this, it still didn't mean you could necessarily pick up cash from an international transfer FYI. I was still turned away from one or two a while ago. Best to go with ones others have had luck with.

    Do I need a special permit to work remotely for my US-based company?

    Yes, exactly. And when you complete the FEIE form, it asks what country you were working in.

    Do I need a special permit to work remotely for my US-based company?

    For US citizens, since the IRS always wants to know what money you're making where forever, is there any potential risk on the US tax side? E.g. saying you made money in the US when you weren't in the US or saying you made money abroad (and the forms then ask which country) if you aren't...

    Visa Runs

    Can someone point me to where Migraciones aren't doing the prorroga de permenencia any longer? Thanks.

    Booster shot in CABA

    Just wanted to add that I know quite a few people (10-15) back in the UK who are double jabbed (even triple) and have caught covid (two for the second time), particularly in recent weeks with the Omicron surge. Luckily, they've all had mild cases, most likely thanks to being vaccinated. If...

    Do I need a special permit to work remotely for my US-based company?

    Thanks, everyone. I was interested in self-employment remotely and for less than 6 months (3 + an extension), so the mentions of a US company and being here longer don't apply. I also wasn't searching for anyone to give me a certain answer so much as an answer (!) but everywhere seems to have a...

    Do I need a special permit to work remotely for my US-based company?

    Going back to the original question on this thread, I'm trying to determine if it is legal to work remotely while self employed for less than six months while on a tourist visa. (I appreciate forums and consultancy articles aren't the final source when seeking official-type answers, but at this...

    How to call a US number collect

    I'm just trying to make calls within Argentina but it does seem 0810 isn't free. No worries, I'll get there! But thank you for the kind offer. :)

    A comment on taxes

    Thank you all for your thoughts. A lot to look into (and on a final, related note, if anyone has an accountant here in Argentina they'd recommend who could help me dig a bit more into my situation and the options, I'd gratefully accept any recs).

    How to call a US number collect

    I know I don't have credit at the moment for calls, so no. I imagine it would work if I added credit, but making calls on Skype (rarely, when I can't from WhatsApp) is usually cheaper. Skype doesn't allow calls to 0810 though (and maybe a few other types of numbers). Thanks.

    Health Insurance for Entry to Argentina

    I believe SafetyWing should also work as it includes covid and quarantine cover. The coverage limit in general though ($250,000 if I recall) may not be high enough for some people's comfort level though.

    How to call a US number collect

    Sorry if this isn't related enough, but does anyone know how to call 0810 numbers? You can't do so via Skype it seems and I have a data-only SIM. Do I just need to add saldo with Claro to call from my phone? Or is there some other Skype-type alternative I'm unaware of? Thanks!

    A comment on taxes

    Thanks. My understanding is that, if it actually happens, the new Digital Nomad Visa being discussed would be for 1-year and tax free during this entire year (unless I'm mistaken). I guess we'll see...
