    Why do people without work visas think they can come here and find work?

    Because, unlike in Europe and America, you can arrive in Argentina on a tourist visa and change it to a work visa without leaving the country. If they are looking for REAL jobs, as you say, then their company is responsible for the doing the paperwork. Whether or not the company does it is a...

    Go to Uruguay every 90 days.. or just stay in AR and pay a fine later?

    What? You're asking about staying in Argentina for years. To be eligible for medical coverage in BC you must be present in the province for 6 months out of every year, unless you get that special letter from them before you leave. Then you're covered for a max of 2 years. After that you're...

    long distance calls

    I've just started a new job which requires me to talk to Europe all day. They have told me not to use Skype or any other way of calling on the internet because of sound quality. I've moved into a new apartment where they are already subscribed to a package from Arnet 6 megas + local phone...

    Argentines obtaining italian passport

    France is a bitch of a country to try to get a visa for. I'm pretty sure they require marriage certificates for accompanying partners coming from overseas. You can live together unmarried in France for a year and then enter into a civil union to get a residency permit, but he'd have to get his...

    Argentines obtaining italian passport

    My friend tried to get it here, but was unsuccessful on the grounds that it was her grandmother who was Italian. Apparently Italian nationality can only be passed through the male line. This is word of mouth and I didn't see any documents backing it up, so double check. There is a NGO which...

    Orthodontist recommendation?

    Really? I've found their prices quite reasonable. I actually came here to get braces because I couldn't afford it in Europe. $1500 for a full 2-year treatment compared to $5000 at home! Maybe you're getting the gringo tax. I think I got it too when I was quoted 100 pesos for a consultation...

    CUIT on a tourist visa

    I got my CUIT on a tourist visa on the second attempt. That was back in 2004. No, it's not technically legal and you're not supposed to be able to do it but not everyone that worked there at the time knew that so I got it anyway. Since then, my clave fiscal expired and they have refused to...
