I use my DNI when going to Chile by car. They have never asked for a passport. ( I do bring it though just in case)

You have to sign the back of the slip and bring a copy of her DNI. My mother always addressed the boxes to the kids.

We moved here because when life became increasingly difficult in the States we decided to make a change. When a health insurance problem had me in tears at the hospital the morning I was going to give birth to my 3rd child I knew we wouldn't be there much longer. My husband is Argentine so we...

I'm not an expert on the car thing. We bought our Honda Civic for about $13,000 in BA. I think if you buy one if Chile you will have to drive it back over the border every 3 months. One of the expats in our Bariloche group has done that. If you join the group on FB you can ask her. The name of...

We are in Bariloche and my husband is not so much afraid of the cold weather. He wears 3 jackets but he works outside. But when we lived in Florida he drove me crazy saying the a/c made him sick.

I think it all depends on what you want your future to be here. If you're not staying forever don't buy. We bought land and built a house. I would go crazy renting. I don't like it, but I am here forever.

I've been using mine here for 5 years and never had a problem.

I didn't have to pay it when I was in that situation 3 years ago, but today it could be different. I'm sure someone has more recent experience with it.

That has been my agreement all along.. but my husband just stares at me like just stop debating it cause it's not gonna change. So annoying. The last trip we made we brought more paperwork than needed so nothing could go wrong.

Sorry to hear that. It breaks my heart. The exact thing happened to us 3 years ago and I posted about it to warn people. Our problem was that we live in Bariloche, so the birth certificates were very far away. We got lucky the next day when a nicer person came on shift and said they would accept...

We bought a new VW Gol 5 years ago. My husband is quite the negotiator. Never gives up. Some were not willing but he eventually found one that would.

We tell them we can't promise anything as we are buying a lot ourselves. If we have room or weight left we'll do it.

PretteJohn, We finally got our package after it sat in Argentina for 3 months before the slip came. Good luck. Hope it comes soon.

I am in Bariloche. Haven't received the box my mother sent for Christmas yet. It said it arrived into BA on December 3rd. It only arrived in Bariloche last week. My husband has been to the post office a few times inquiring about it. They told him they are about 4 months behind on packages and...

The vaccines are the same. Only 1 of them they give the booster at a latter time than we do. They dont require ALL the same ones. My 3 year old got chicken pox last year becuase the vaccine wasn't mandatory. but with my 1rst grader, near the beginning of the year they came in to the school and...
