    Private Spanish Tutor for basic Spanish next week?

    If you end up wanting something different than your ML tutor, I study here and can recommend it. The price varies depending on how many classes you pay for at once: https://spanishinclusiveworld.com/

    Rentista - Freelance/LLC Owner

    That's what I'm currently doing, and is my understanding of the correct (current) process per my attorney.

    Visa Rentista and the need for pesification

    I use Santander Río. Opening it wasn't easy, I had to spend a lot of time talking to the branch manager and explaining that I needed to have the account to show the ability to get my income transferred into the country in order to get my DNI. The paperwork was just my passport, precaria, and...

    Swimming pools/indoors&outdoors

    I haven't been to this one yet, and I'm not sure that the prices are up-to-date, but this seems promising and wouldn't require a membership! https://www.buenosaires123.com.ar/espacios-verdes/parque-manuel-belgrano-kdt.php

    Where is the best Pizzeria in Baires these days?

    Santo Bar de Pizzas has been my favorite pizza here so far, and their cocktails are good as well. https://santobardepizzas.com/

    Bagels revisited

    I don't know where they get them from, or if they actually make them in-house, but Togni's Café in Belgrano occasionally has some half-decent bagels: https://www.togniscafe.com/ Otherwise, Sheikob's seems to be the only place to reliably get a bagel that's actually a bagel.

    Rentista - Freelance/LLC Owner

    Having just gotten my rentista residency approval (woo hoo!), I thought I'd write a couple of notes on my situation for anyone in the future looking for info about whether it's possible to have a successful application as a freelance consultant with clients outside of Argentina. I can't really...

    Issues with Coto shopping

    I've also had the passport part of that experience, specifically at Coto, more than once. The one in San Telmo told me a photo of it wasn't sufficient. I've been able to use my US driver's license at Jumbo/Disco/Vea and Carrefour. Haven't had the gym bag thing happen, but it's not surprising.

    USD account for prospective rentista visa

    I think if you search the forum you'll find a lot of threads about the rentista visa, and more complicated questions might be good to ask an attorney. https://baexpats.org/search/2543081/?q=rentista&c[title_only]=1&o=date

    USD account for prospective rentista visa

    I've only applied from within the country, so I don't know what the difference is, sorry!

    New to BAexpats

    Hi Malcolm, welcome! I noticed on your website that you've exhibited at The Crucible in Oakland -- I used to study glassblowing/coldworking and woodworking there, and also volunteered there quite a bit! You'll probably be able to find a lot of the answers to your questions by searching the...

    USD account for prospective rentista visa

    In my experience, you will be able to submit the initial rentista application before having the bank account -- and you'll need to, since you'll need to bring the precaria to the bank to have any hope of opening an account. Getting a bank account without a DNI, though technically legal, is a...

    Visa Rentista and the need for pesification

    That is directly contrary to my experience so far.

    Visa Rentista and the need for pesification

    I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're saying here -- I'm able to bring in USD to my Argentine USD account without having it turned to pesos, which has been convenient for my USD rent. It requires paperwork, but it's not immediately pesified.

    Looking for a psychologist that speaks fluent English

    Just since I've seen her recommended so much on here, I wanted to post that I had a really not great experience working with her. If it were just that I wasn't impressed by my experiences of my sessions with her, I probably wouldn't post about it -- I know that not everyone is the right match...

    Anyone else "crazy" enough to live in La Boca?

    While I think that's good advice, it does seem like there are parts of La Boca that are more or less safe for walking around -- and I'm not saying that because I've actually had an issue there, but because when I was walking around there once two different people working in shops stopped me on...

    Any cyclists?

    Aside from myself and @RecumbentRider, does anyone else on here ride bikes? I'm not a serious road racer and don't know how to mountain bike, so I don't know if there are club rides that would be right for me, but I would love to put together some casual bike rides in the city and in nearby...

    Western Union money transfer

    Sorry for asking a noob question here, but is it possible to send dollars and pick up dollars rather than pesos at WU or Ria? I don't see that option on the app, but I've heard it suggested that it's possible to do that.
