    Free Concerts In Buenos Aires

    You guys know how in Jan-Feb sometimes there are cine al aire libre events? I was looking online but couldn't find anything current. Does anyone know if they are still doing this or if it is just not the "temporada"?

    Us Passport Renewal & Dhl

    I didn't have time. I was only home for 3 days and the week prior I was a bridesmaid for a wedding. The embassy website says "Government official ID". It didn't have to be the DNI, it could have been US government official ID or AR government official ID. I didn't know, so I took both. :-)...

    Us Passport Renewal & Dhl

    Hi, all. I am sure someone has asked this at some point, but I didn't find anything when I did a search. I have an appointment next week to renew my US passport at the embassy. The instructions say that I must go to the DHL office on Cabildo in Belgrano/Colegiales in order to "arrange payment...

    Renewing Dni

    Thank you all for your insight! I guess I could have found that information here: http://www.migraciones.gov.ar/accesible/indexA.php?residencias_prorrogas Anyway, leaving it for the next person. I don't really understand why my DNI expires in March when I didn't get it until June... but at...

    Renewing Dni

    Thank you both a ton for the information! Steveinbsas, you are correct: this is my first renewal and it is residencia temporaria, here as a student. Since, I cannot renew any further in advance than 60 days, would any one of you know how long it would be wise to wait without having to pay...

    Renewing Dni

    Jumping on this post to ask a similar question: My DNI expires in March of 2018. How far in advance should I make an appointment for renewal (bearing in mind how busy Migraciones is at that time of year)? Also, I am hoping to go back to the states for a bit between November and March. Would...

    No One Wants To Receive Money Transfers

    This has been my struggle this week. I was able to get around it by setting up a Xoom account associated with my Argentine bank account. I had tried linking it to my paypal account but that did not work. Therefore, I created a Xoom account and chose Argentina as my country. Then, I clicked on...

    Whats Up With Mercadolibre These Days?

    This! Before I opened up my AR bank account, this was a big issue for me. ML had allowed me to make a purchase with my US card when I first moved here but no more after that. Hate to say it but, misery loves company, and reading your post made me thankful that it's not just me! Unfortunately...

    Monotributista

    Hi, there. Yes, you can have a bank account. I am in the same boat except I got residency through studying rather than work. I opened up a bank account with Santander, very easily. The options are limited--at least with Santander--being a temporary resident and not from Mercosur. Be careful...

    Anybody Voting Sunday ??? You Need A D.n.i. To Do It.

    Don't you need permanent residency to instead of temporary to vote? That's what I've been told before and I never thought of looking into it.

    International Companies

    Question! Is there a thread on the forum somewhere with a list of international companies present in CABA? I searched but didn't find. If not, would anyone be so kind as to help me create one? :-) I think it would be a nifty resource--besides, I'm looking for work outside giving English...
