    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    To whom excatly does the word "one" apply? Are you advocating that some or most (if not all) expats adopt what might be regarded as a "frugal lifestyle" to drive down prices in Argentina? According to Sergio, most expats would "not be willing to adopt (a) frugal lifestyle." He was addressing me...

    Western Union money transfer

    I was recently able to create the Pago Fácil wallet. During the process I indicated that my nationality is EE.UU. Immediately after creating the account I was asked to provide my "ID Social Number" so I entered my US Social Security number. Then I attached a pdf (made in "my drive" from a photo...

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    If, fourteen years ago, I hadn't bought a house in a zona de quintas, on a one hectáre lot (the same size as a small park in the city of BA), I would probably already be dead. Fortunately, I'm still alive and enjoying a healthy life in el campo...one day at a time. Though my cost of living has...

    Western Union money transfer

    I just logged onto WU to make a transfer to be picked up at a WU agency. Given what has happened in the past 24 hours, I wanted to have some pesos in cash on hand and not in a bank. I have not yet used the Pago Fácil wallet. Tomorrow morning I will pick up the pesos in person in Punta Alta...

    Cost of medical insurance

    I just asked Patricia about this. Her response was that insurance agents only provide price quotes for the companies with which they are afiliated and when it comes to health care with a prepagada, it is necessary to contact each provider separately and provide them with the details regarding...

    Western Union money transfer

    Earlier this afternoon I was able to download the Pago Fácil app and set up an account/wallet using my Samsunng Galaxy A02.

    Planning to move to Argentina, but need visa

    It was recently posted that of you are not from a "visa free" country and must apply for a tourist visa in your home country prior to your arrival, you will not be able to apply for residency from within Argentina. $30.000 pesos per month is an obsole figure. Search the words "visa rentista"...

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    Depending on the individual expat's desired lifestyle, the average monthly Social Security benefit of about $1,900 USD could be a relatively great "deal" here, especially if the expat had no desire to travel abroad and stay in nice hotels and enjoy fine dining As I posted recently, for the...

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    Expats can "opt out" of this if desired, and, as no medical services performed outside of the USA are covered by Medicare, most US expats do not have this deduction from their monthly benefit.

    The page in the link would not load, so I have not read it. While the national average for all individuals recieving Social Security benefits would change monthly as some would start recieving benefits for the first time and benefits for others would end, with rare excepions, on an individual...

    Overstaying - Entry to Argentina nearly denied

    Yes it is. Fortunately, the member of the forum known as Bajo_cero2 often provides useful answers here in response to questions regarding the 90 day prorroga issued at the office of migraciones, visa runs, and overstaying the 90 day tourist permit. Perhaps he will also comment here regarding...
