I don't have kids, but when we stayed in Villa Urquiza near Plaza Zapiola there were always with families with kids out in the park. It's a nice area, it's quiet, but you can find places near the Subte B line so you can still get downtown when you want. IMO, it's an underrated part of BA to live in.

I'm so excited for whenever El Eternauta comes out! I'm a little sad that they're saying 2025 here.

I'm more surprised by how many people who live here were born *in the city*, not even in AMBA.

I don't, unfortunately. Since I wasn't a hospital member, I booked the appointment by e-mail through the International Patients' office at HA: https://www.hospitalaleman.org.ar/nuestro-hospital/atencion/pacientes-internacionales/

Thanks for clearing this up, @Quilombo! Looks like I had some half-baked information.

No, I'm talking about sending it directly into a bank. There's a 12k annual limit per the central bank before you have to convert it to pesos, so I'm trying to figure out how to make a square peg fit into a round hole re: the differences in expectations between Migraciones and the central bank.

I tried to do a search of existing threads, so hopefully I didn't just miss someone else's answer, but: I've heard that there's a $12,000 limit on bringing in USD as an individual. Since rentistas currently have to show $1,300 per month brought into a local bank account in USD, does anyone know...

There's a group that runs a soup kitchen twice a week near Congreso and organizes clothing/school supply donations, if that appeals: https://www.instagram.com/amiguesporlascalles/

Yes, they have the same CBU. You do need a SWIFT code for the bank.

The taxability in Argentina is a great question for a local accountant. There's no tax treaty, but a certain amount of income earned while living abroad is not taxed by the US.

I've ordered books from Amazon, since they're easier to import than many other things. I was able to order them directly to my house, and had to submit an AFIP form to DHL in order to get them.

@abrotherabroad Yes to the affidavit/FBI check, and I included all of my incorporation documents. I had to provide statements from my business bank account to the accountant, but he didn't need them to be notarized. I'm not sure if those were incorporated into the application, since I didn't put...

When we entered at La Quiaca I asked for a stamp, because I was also worried about not having one, and the guy said they wouldn't do it 🤷‍♀️ . I know my experience is just one data point, though.

If you look up Candelario Mancilla (the Chilean border post) on Google Maps, you can get a sense of the area. Coming from Chile, you start at the end of the Carretera Austral just south of Villa O'Higgins, take a small boat (not a car ferry) a couple hours across a lake, then stamp out of...

If you want a stamp as a souvenir you have to go to very remote border crossings, like the one crossing on foot from Villa O'Higgins to El Chaltén, where they don't have the telecomm service to do digital immigration services.

@florence I'm not a Santander employee, but if you're OK with that limit, I would also take it to mean that you can carry on as-is.

Definitely that last part -- it has to be direct transfers. Ugh. For Santander, I was able to submit an IRS W-9 as well as a form (called 8-743, "Prevención del Lavado de Activos y Financiación del Terrorismo Formulario Complementario de Perfil de Riesgo - Cuestonario Para Persona Fisica", if...
