    Registering with MercadoLibre

    Wow. Great information again. Thank you. This is a great way for us old timers to catch up with the newer technologies to make our lives better and/or more convenient. I made a note to explore Yubikey in the near future. In the meantime, using a VPN to utilize a US IP, I got google voice (using...

    Registering with MercadoLibre

    Thanks for the clear and precise explanation Obi! I have a follow up question. You said you receive bank and credit card SMS through google voice. What is the usecase for TextFree? Is it just an alternative to google voice app? Can you still get SMS from your bank using TextFree?

    Dólar Blue Predictions

    If the official rate is not artificially kept low, as the current government promises not to do, then there should be no gap. Don't you think? Or do you predict this government will also try to control the official rate just like the previous governments.

    Dólar Blue Predictions

    A wild and useless guess on my part just for fun: There was a small bubble on the blue during the elections, the rate will be around 1000 until January 2024, then it will start behaving in a similar manner to how it behaved in 2023 - mostly and gradually moving up depending on the dollar's value...

    Notifying the SSA of moving to Argentina

    Come to Argentina, but keep a US address there if you can. After a year of living in Argentina and if and when you know you will be living here much longer, let SSA know. There is no downside. I think ideally I would use an address of a reliable relative or a friend for many things, such as bank...

    Best Website For Dolar Blue

    So what is the best website to rely on in 2023 and 2024? I see lanacion shows 905 compra. Infobae shows 935 compra. I looked at many other websites they are split 50/50 in whether they show 935 or 905.

    Returning after overstaying visa

    2 overstays, and multiple "visa runs" that were 2 weeks (or longer) to outside Argentina - over a 5 year period.

    Returning after overstaying visa

    So far in practice I have never had trouble at EZE, but whenever I got in via the Rosario airport the agent always said something to the effect why I was coming to Argentina so much and I should do something about my situation and apply for residency. So the last time, I entered via EZE and the...

    Radex Registration Problems

    Exactly at which point does the system asks for payment information? Before or after uploading the document. So far it hasn't asked me to pay.

    Radex Registration Problems

    Thanks for all the replies. I solved the problem, but not sure how. I had created different e-mail accounts and tried. My friend also tried using his Mac. He had the same problem. On his second try he created a new e-mail account for me but this time used lower case letters only. Then it worked...

    Radex Registration Problems

    Recently I filled out the form in Radex to register so I can apply for residency. I received an e-mail back rightaway asking to click on a link to verify my e-mail address. However once I clicked to verify it said "el mail ya ha sido utilizado radex". I have never used radex before so I thought...
