For what it's worth, I've had a different experience with my most recent rentista applications. It's totally possible that Migraciones asked for different things from each of us, I have no reason to believe they're consistent! But it has been sufficient (so far) for me to just show evidence of...

I do love that the soccer fans have come out to support the retirees in these protests. The images aren't exactly heart-warming, I guess, but I appreciate the spirit of support.

Overstaying the tourist visa shouldn't be an issue. Having a more stable address before you apply would make things easier down the line, but you should be able to use whatever address you're staying at. We provided a letter from a CPA that stated the LLC provides at least $2k per family...

There are also companies that will manage sales for you. I'm sure there are several, but this is one some friends have used: https://mariamaranessi.com/

If Wells Fargo allows mail-in deposits, some iPostal locations will do that for you: https://ipostal1.com/digital-mailbox-features.php I've been using iPostal for a bit over three years and have had a positive experience, though I haven't used that feature specifically.

The parks along the Costanera are nice for a bike ride or walk without turning it into a big hike, same with Cerro Santo Lucia. The big Parque Metropolitano/Cerro San Cristobal is good for an afternoon of hiking. Barrio Italia is a nice place to stroll around, and isn't very busy with people...

Follow a bunch of cultural centers on Instagram, they post events there. The Finde Club substack is also a good source.

I also had a good experience using Hospital Aleman before I was signed up for a private health plan at Swiss Medical. They have an international patients office that you can contact (in English, if you prefer) to organize an appointment. At the time I was visiting them and paying out of pocket...

There's a pretty regular "coffee chat" organized by members of the forum, though they're on a break until next week because of the holidays. Otherwise, Meetup is a great place to find social activities that are frequented by other foreigners.

For your first question, the visa process depends on where you're from, so you should consult with the local embassy to see what you need to have in-hand. For the other question, that's been discussed a lot here, so a search of the forum will pull up a lot of opinions on extending vs overstaying...

Referring to the numero de tramite from my DNI, or should I have received a separate number when I submitted it? If it's the latter, I didn't receive one. I've reached out to that address once without my DNI tramite #, but didn't hear back at all.

I do have a DNI. That Tramites a Distancia comes after the federal recognition, doesn't it? I think I would still have to do the federal legalization in case I decide to apply somewhere other than UBA.

At this point I definitely don't expect things to be fast, but I also don't want to just let it wait until the next application period in the spring, and I'm hoping to get some intel on which nudge is the most effective for this process. Have you used a gestor for this process before?

Amazing thank you! I was trying to apply for UBA or other schools for an undergrad degree. I had it apostilled in the US and then translated here, and now my understanding is that I need to get it recognized by Argentina so I can submit it to the university. I submitted the paperwork online, but...

I submitted my US diploma for local recognition back in mid-November (already translated into Spanish by an official public translator), and haven't heard anything since. I've e-mailed two addresses that I could find to see if there's any update, but never got a response. Has anyone gone through...
