You take a picture of the check with your American banking app, like Bank of America, Wells Fargo etc they all allow remote deposit of checks with pictures taken by your phone.

Who cashes checks in person anymore? Just open your banking app on your phone and snap a photo of the check, easy, done

For a single person or for a family? Even on $1400 a month you can rent your own place in a nice part of the city and have a lot leftover. I'd expect those at/near the poverty line to be living in non prime neighborhoods, perhaps with roommates, and that can be done on less than $1400 monthly...

If you're American why not use a USA based service? Unfortunately due to onerous regulations by the US, most overseas crypto companies flat out don't accept American clients.

Visa runs don't make any sense. The overstay fine is only 40k pesos. You'd pay much more to fly elsewhere and come back, and then risk denials at the border. You're much better off just overstaying however long you want to be in Argentina

The new law is that if you require a tourist visa to come to Argentina, you cannot enter as a tourist and then change your status. You'd need to get the proper visa (student, rentista etc) in your home country first via the embassy. (for example people from India, Africa etc) If you are visa...

Small bills are like a hot potato, nobody wants them so they're worth less. People only want $100 bills with the big face here

Speaking (output) comes after massive amounts of listening (input). When you land in Arg see if you can find someone to date, preferably that doesn't speak English. That'll get you up to speed real quick haha

The quizzes etc are not really necessary. You need comprehensible input. Think of yourself as a baby when you were first learning to speak with your parents, they didn't give you quizzes and drills. The premise of the site is that by watching videos with images and gestures that describe what...

https://www.dreamingspanish.com/browse?guide=agustina I highly recommend Dreaming Spanish, this will actually help you learn Spanish. The teacher Agustina is from BA and her videos are interesting and enjoyable to watch. Duolingo unfortunately has overly gamified the experience, they're more...

Regarding applying for citizenship, CABA has the lowest thresholds to be able to apply, you don't even need to have a DNI. Whereas outside CABA, especially in more remote provinces a DNI is required to even start a citizenship case, which means you'd need to wait however many months for...

To open a monotributo you have to already be a resident, or at the very least had your application for residency accepted and a Precaria issued. It's related to how you can declare income in Argentina after you're a resident, but doesn't lead to residency itself.

One of the forum members has an apartment for rent, not sure if it's booked yet but it is in Recoleta https://baexpats.org/threads/excellent-1-bedroom-for-rent-available-october.47810/

I know of a lawyer who can help get a rentista visa even if you don't necessarily have passive income (remote workers etc) I can share his number privately if you're interested

Oh true that's a good point. Odd then that Amik had an issue

Seems you're right, based on the official Visa website the rate is 981.75 today https://usa.visa.com/support/consumer/travel-support/exchange-rate-calculator.html

2 years of residence is defacto required nowadays to start a citizenship case. True, you can file your case anytime, but the paperwork does not start moving until the judge/secretary agree you qualify to apply. It's pretty much a waste of everyone's time to file a case before you have at least...

The fine is 40K pesos, or around $30 something USD as of October 2024
