    I Have Overstayed 90 Day Visa... Is It Better To Pay Fine Or

    I was discussing this with an immigration advisor today. In direct answer to your question, you will NOT be able to just pop over to Uruguay, you will have to go to Migraciones and say "my tourist visa has expired". They will ask you if you want to extend it for another 90 days or if you are...

    Tips For An Expat's Life

    Pretty funny that a topic like "Tips for an Expat´s Life" ended up like this .... The argentine pastime of "puteando al otro" seems to have set in ... perhaps we are more assimilated than we feel.

    Why We Might Soon See Another Argentine Default

    No, you are right. They couldn´t apply the same "pressure" on the debt issued subject to UK law because they were not able to re-write the rules retrospectively (by an act of their own Parliament) which is what they did with the domestic bonds .... and which is what Argentina has done. By...

    Christmas In Iguazu?

    I´d say its a good idea, most latins are likely to spend Christmas with family and not head out until afterwards .... wk 1 of january is the big exodus. Of course one of the seven wonders of the world is never likely to be empty .... :cool:

    Argentne Citizenship: A Good Reason Not To Do It

    Quite a lot of misinformation regarding the argentine tax/residency relationship on this thread. Anyone to whom it matters, might want to take the time to read this fairly full analysis...

    Apostilising Documents

    I agree with majortungsten, you will need to send them back to the UK. As the birth certificate is already an "official document", ie issued by a branch of govt. you won´t need it notarised ... not sure about marriage certificates, although I suspect they are the same. The foreign office website...

    Traveling To Bariloche

    I would fly .... its much safer, especially in high season when the bus drivers are working all hours and reduced breaks. In addition the petroleros in Neuquén and Rio Negro are planning to block the routes over the holidays, no doubt to cause max inconvenience. The train would be great but its...

    Why We Might Soon See Another Argentine Default

    Most sovereign debt issues now have collective action clauses whereby a majority of (usually) 75% of independent bondholders can make the agreement binding on all And of course it only creates precedent for international courts ... bonds issued subject to the jurisdiction of the issuing country...

    Moving to Buenos Aires...

    My advice would be to understand that you are moving to a racist country, by any reasonable definition of the word racist. Once you start with that mindset, assuming you are happy to move to a racist country, things will be much easier.

    How to get my Euros (or US$) from GER?

    Too much competition in Capital, if you go out into the interior people are paying up to 6.80. Give it up pashi .... its a crap offer and you won´t find any takers here :)

    Who's considering it after thinking they would never...?

    allcraz, your opening post brought to mind some wise words I once heard: "You should always be able to articulate better what you are running towards than what you are running away from" I have found it a great litmus test at various moments in my life.

    Can I still book a cheap domestic flight if my dni card is expired?

    Just book at the reduced rate. If you check in when there is a queue, the chances of the check in agent verifying that your dni has not expired are almost zero ... in my view.

    an under current of despair/depression

    "I'm not sure where to take her to begin with except to meet family." Huh? How about, La Matanza artesan fair, almost any leafy suburb of CABA, the theatre, tango, sailing in Rio de La Plata, a polo match. Then a stay at an estancia in BA province, followed by a trip to Cordoba and the...

    Argentine citizenship for foreigners?

    Unless they wait for the 10-year "crash" and then move here. Those who came in 2002/3 seem to have done very well.

    91 days!

    I got caught by one day (I was calculating months not days) and yes, they fined me. They did however say (although I have no way of knowing if its true) that they would not register it as a "violation" on the system, as it could give me problems re-entering in future. All seems like a...
