    To be or not to be... a Monotributario

    Yes, you are still subject to the byzantine process of bringing in your earnings legally. This means, and again, I'm not a lawyer/accountant: - You have to emit Factura E invoices - ALL your income must enter Argentina within 5 business days of being paid - This is done via the MULC and SWIFT -...

    Milei is getting inflation under control (graph)

    I'm gonna sound like a broken record, but 4% is still not something to celebrate; even Alberto and Massa had it down to around 6% at one point and all the LLA trolls on Twitter were calling for their heads, yet it's somehow a masterclass in economics now. I'm very doubtful about how much lower...

    What's the reality of safety in Buenos Aires?

    It's important to remember that there are 3 geographical BAs and multiple economic BAs: Geographically/Politically, there is the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, aka Capital/CABA/what most tourists and foreigners think of when someone says Buenos Aires, think Manhattan/the 5 Boroughs in NYC...

    What's the best neighborhood for families?

    In GBA it's the suburbs up north and in the south it's gated communities. In CABA itself parts of Palermo, Belgrano, Nuñez, Colegiales, and Villa Urquiza from what I've seen.

    Peronist Hypocrisy in Argentina

    Exactly, the man was a fusion of Latin American Corporatism (best represented by the PRI in Mexico) and Italian fascism (Mussolini). He and Isabel supported the Triple A after all, whose stated goal was the extermination of Montoneros/ERP, but this was in reality applied to basically everyone...

    Argentina must repudiate its debt

    Looks like it's recovered a bit since

    Mercado Pago now allows customers to add tips

    I try to avoid using Mercado Libre/Pago whenever possible. Take a look at what Marcos Galperin posts all day on Twitter if you want to know why, it's not even crypto fascist stuff like many billionaires, but full on fascist memes, articles, reposts, etc.. Stuff targeting ethnic minorities, LGBT...

    Argentina must repudiate its debt

    It's really fun watching the libertarians fall over themselves defending Milei doing Alberto's 2nd admin in many policies. We're 7 months in and very little has changed: Cepo: intact Salaries: pulverized Inflation: still amongst the highest in the world Interest rates: negative GDP: crashing...

    Do Birth and Marriage Certificates Expire for PR Applications?

    It depends, I've heard 90 days, 6 months, and same year. Mine was almost 2+ years old from when I applied to when they reviewed it, so the newer the better

    Peronist Hypocrisy in Argentina

    It's hard to take them seriously if they're calling Peronism left wing, it shows a basic lack of understanding of Argentine politics and Peronism more broadly...

    Former president Alberto Fernandez accused of domestic violence... and corruption

    https://buenosairesherald.com/politics/argentinas-ex-president-alberto-fernandez-reported-for-domestic-violence I have been saying since the party in Olivos and him saying it was all Fabiola's fault that he's a misogynist, the gall to blame your spouse when you're President always was a red...

    Did Milei just lift Argentina out of recession?

    caveat emptor with reason considering this is the front page of La Nacion right now lol

    Do Birth and Marriage Certificates Expire for PR Applications?

    Apostille/Legalization no, the only thing that expires (and mine did) was background check from country of origin/countries you've lived in

    Government will monitor social media to predict future crimes

    A state so small it can fit in everyone's cellphone and internet activity to spy on them, the libertarian dream. VLLC!

    Retirement age to be raised to 75

    Congress would have to pass a law doing so. It's political suicide for those who vote in favor so I doubt it will be successful.

    The 23-Hour Shopping Frenzy: Argentines Stampede Over Border

    Basically what Red said, but the longer answer is because of taxes, corruption, protectionism/monopolies, and ISI with imported components. For example, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is "made" in Tiera del Fuego the same way you "make" IKEA furniture: all the parts are just shipped here for assembly...

    Apply for CDI online

    I got a CDI back in the early 2010s and I had to go in person to AFIP with a certificado de domicilio like arvest said. Looks like not much has changed.

    Maybe don’t let the airport scan your face

    I have Global Entry, the feds have my fingerprints, face, irises, and more. Do I trust them? No. Do I want to wait in line at IAH for 3 hours with every other flight coming in from LatAm? Also no. To each their own, I chose expedience; I'm a nobody, I'm not getting setup for anything with...
