Do you need a DNI?

LOLing at the expression "doing a runner"! I'm having a consult with a lawyer today. I also just talked to the plumber who said that the fissures were due to the cheap/old tub fitting, not the new tenant. Kind of wondering what's going to be "my fault" next! Lesson learned: for me, Airbnb...

You guys are a wealth of great info. Thanks so much :) So if I have a rental contract that's for 1 year and not in pesos, is it even legal? Feeling a bit duped right now...

So they’re fixing the tub now: three days without use of the shower and a mess, but it’s getting done. Yay. Even though I’ve only been in the unit for two weeks, the owner said I was at fault but they are generous enough to cover the expense. I asked them about compensation or clean up in...

Update: After emailing the businesses in the building where the alarm is, people commiserated, helped me contact the building administrator and told me the steps to follow, and even drafted a letter for me to present to the administration. I was borderline touched. Porteños are helpful!

Thank you all for such awesome, reassuring answers!!!

Hi guys, I moved into a new place two weeks ago now and everything seemed to work okay...until I noticed three fissures in the bath tub this morning. When I first moved in, they weren't noticeable, but the floor of the bath tub did make a bit of a crunching sound. I figured it was normal...

sounds like they're getting in the way of Darwinism.

This made me smile quite a bit. Thank you!

Hey Expats! So I just moved into an apartment on Gorriti (right at the end near Dorrego) and it's generally quite chill. I love the neighbourhood. There is, however, this super loud pedestrian warning system blasting from the garage across the street every time a car enters or exits...and it's...

Best to reach out to Agustin directly, his fee schedule has probably changed since we spoke in March. At the time, it was a low fraction of the price you just mentioned (well under $1,000). That said, Agustin is younger and doesn't come with the same breadth of experience.

I reached out to Gabriel Celano and his office twice in March (beginning and end) but they did not respond. I contacted Cristian Rubilar, who seems amazing but is way out of my price range, and had a video consultation with Agustin Nicolas Beaudean, who is wonderful and quite affordable...

Franco in Villa Ortuzar (14 de Julio 1326) is awesome, super detail-oriented, and speaks English like a natural. It's a 1 chair shop called X Barbershop. The price I paid today was $1800. You can book with him via WhatsApp: +54 9 11 5160-6617

poorly managed* program

Hey Ozgur! I do not recommend applying for the digital nomad visa, it is a poorly management program with little to no benefit - more of a gimmick. If you can get a tourist visa upon entry, I'd recommend doing that and renewing it within the country, or by exiting and re-entering at the 90-day mark.
