Here are the 15 "conditions" which, at least for now, foreigners will receive treatment without charge at public hospitals:

So far, I believe that everyone who has posted about this has indicated that migraciones only accepts bank to bank "wire" transfers, and that Western Union transfers using a debit card from the US bank isn't... ...and even using Western Union to transfer funds directly from the US bank account...

I'm not sure about Australia, but that is not a choice any American would have to make, at least for now/not yet. I would never give up my US passport just to get an Argentine passport, if that meant giving up my US citizenship, In any case, I doubt it will ever be an issue for me as I have...

Argentina is a free country? Perhaps not so much since the requirements fot temporary and permanent residency were adopted...decades before the current President of Argentina was born. As far as I know, the Argentine Constitution does not require a DNI for citizenship and at least one...

I forgot to attach the photo... The eggs are larger and the yolks are bright orange. The eggs in Villa Arias have pale yellow yolks.

I haven't been to thr supermarket in Punta Alta in about three months, and the next time I go, I am not planning on going to buy anything at a supermarket. I will visit my good Argentine friend, Walter, who is also "my" mecánico. I will pick up three maples of eggs (see photo) which will...

I'd be more concerned if I had posted about how to stay under ARCA's radar and avoid paying taxes in Argentina than posting about going to their officees and asking in person about my tax liability and/or any forms that I was required to file (as opposed to taking anyone else's (including...
