    Why Argentina’s public universities are paralyzed by protests?

    Nope these guys came here to study. They’re not legal permanent residents. They are legal though. But again, Milei doesn’t want to pay for anyone who’s not from Argentina. Which makes sense to me! California doesn’t pay from Nevadan! 😀

    Why Argentina’s public universities are paralyzed by protests?

    I know quite a few Venezuelanos and Colombians who are here for college education and when I asked why, they were all saying; good education for free. I know a Turkish guy going to UBA for Spanish language education, not college and he pays zero as well. He was talking about having a masters...

    Why Argentina’s public universities are paralyzed by protests?

    In Argentina college education is free for all. Even for the foreigners. An Argentine taxpayer paying for another Argentine’s college education is understandable. In the end educating the population is a national investment and someone who won’t even go to high school will benefit from an...

    Is Argentina Still a Good Deal?

    When you say “you can live for 1500”, it’s not that you exist. You live, do things, have fun but it’s true that it’s not as it used to be!

    Real estate prices in CABA

    Apart from certain upscale areas, I don’t think that’d be the case in the near future. Europe is full of Argentines who also hold an EU passport. Mainly the UK, Italy,Spain, Germany and Netherlands. These are professional white collard people who have established themselves there and would not...

    Customs rules for electronics and furniture

    It’s a tennis ball machine. Oscillating one! Hard to find in BA. Strange stuff to bring all the way but addicted to it! :-). If they say no; what do I do then? Can I pay the duty and have it or they will keep it?

    No not at all. I’m not living there and never in my life rented a property long term. And got no idea what’s going on over there with this new econ situation. I’m sure you know better than I do. How’s the rental market at the moment? Many thanks

    Hello. We are Argentines moving back to BsAs first time as a couple. We will be there for at least a year and we will be renting. It seems to be quite a renter’s market at the moment. What would be a logical percentage to offer off the asking price if willing to pay one years rent up front...

    Anyone married to an Argentine citizen?

    I don’t recommend it that much!! 😊 If you did, apply at the consulate. You get it in a week as a sticker on your passport. When you come to BsAs you apply for your DNI at the Ave Atlantida and get it in a week or two. These are second hand experiences I witnessed. Even if you don’t get the DNI...

    Would it be possible to find a job in finance?

    I k ow people who work in finance in Argentina and they’re doing quite well. And I know some people holding serious positions and just doing ok! I think you find these jobs through head hunters rather than the job section. Good luck.
