When my wife and I did our PR, we were able to submit anything Migraciones needed, after the initial turno, by uploading PDF copies on their website.

The IRS, in their infinite wisdom, sent my tax refund by mail instead of direct deposit, in February, to my Argentine address and it’s not here yet. Meanwhile, I’ve had a friend send an Easter card that arrived in less than two weeks since then, according to the postmark. What are the chances...

It absolutely did. Thanks to Law 26240, Brazilians have the ability to skip straight to permanent residence, bypassing the two years of temporary residency required for other Mercosur citizens.

The one time I did it at AEP before getting residency, I just popped in and it was about 20 minutes. It’s at the international arrivals , between the rental car counters and the bathrooms. Look for the sign that says Migraciones.

The title says it all, and there are a few magic asterisks to be found in the process, but it's generally straightforward on how I did it, and you might be able to do this too. Magic Asterisk 1 - My spouse is Brazilian and we applied for permanent residency together. If she had already obtained...

I gave up, used BusBud and paid at official rate, last time I had to, fwiw

As long as you only have tax residency in Argentina, the US or both, you check the "No" box, then as a US Citizen, check the box "Soy una persona....", add your SSN in the blank, your US address below that and then sign, print and date. If you've got a third country's fiscal residency, that's...

They tried that one on me too, but I pushed back hard and made them get their boss. I also had the requirements on my phone, so they couldn't go back and say they needed something different, but it also probably helps that I'm stubborn, speak Spanish and my career has mostly been compliance...

My wife and I started our permanent residency process together, with her applying under Ley 26.240 as a Brazilian and me as her spouse. Hers was officially resuelto today, so now we're just waiting on Migraciones to give mine the stamp of approval. Fingers crossed that they get mine wrapped up...

It’s YMMV depending on the comissária and the mood of the officer at the desk, not just the Ciudad. Some talk to the building manager, some issue it on the spot, some say you’ll need witnesses, some say they’ll come by and ring your buzzer. It’s literally a crapshoot depending on their mood on...

It was. I went to AFIP with the form 663 completed, along with my passport and precaria and they issued it on the spot.

I used my CDI, along with a copy of my passport and my precaria.

Another option that might work, if you have a precaria/some form of residency, is Prex. I opened a Prex account earlier this week using my precaria + passport, and it was approved within an hour. That one is nice because I can transfer paypal to my USD Prex account and then it'll convert at CCL...

I know Banco Ciudad was very easy for my spouse and I both to open accounts with our CDIs at the Recoleta branch. I think it was 15 minutes for mine and about 10 for hers.

Banco Ciudad worked for me.

I spoke too soon. No intimaciones for mine yet, but because Brazil changed their system for emitting the antecedentes penales in the couple of days between downloading hers and setting up our appointments, Migraciones was unable to verify my wife's. Of course, Brazil's new system can't verify...

When I went to get my CDI, I had to have the guy behind the desk get his boss before he’d issue one to me, even though I met every requirement AFIP stated, so I understand well.

I’m hoping that by only having documents from the U.S., Argentina and Brazil, it’ll make the process relatively smoother, but who knows with migraciones. My stuff is from the U.S., my wife’s is all from Brazil, our marriage certificate is from CABA and we’re applying together through the...

I’m curious what all they keep asking y’all for, just as a “do I need to start preparing for extra docs now?” thing

It's my choice as well, partially because my wife is from there and partially because I truly do love the city. It's an easy #2 in the Americas, after Buenos Aires, for me.
