I got one from the police in March -- just went in, waited around for a *long time* until they felt like helping me, and gave them a rent receipt from my AirBnB. They were hesitant at first since I didn't have a utility bill, but someone else in line explained to them that I can't have a utility...

I've spent an afternoon writing at Cigaló's Villa Urquiza location. Very pleasant with good coffee and food. I don't remember how the wi-fi was, I wasn't doing anything that had huge internet speed requirements, but the login was easy to find. Cigaló's IG

In your shoes, that's what I would do? If you can't enter the right combination of details to get your entry to pop-up, I'm not sure what other options you have.

I've never received an e-mail from Migraciones, personally, but you can search for your visa info here: https://www.migraciones.gov.ar/transitos/

For what it's worth, public universities are free for anyone, regardless of immigration status, but if the program is private it will have a cost. If you were hoping to get a DNI with it, though, my understanding is that if it's a distance-learning course it won't work for a student visa because...

Am I right that to get a dollar bank account one needs to have a DNI first? I'm working on the residency application process and the accountant I'm working with suggested I open a dollar account, but I get the impression that only a peso account is available pre-DNI.

I did mine from Argentina, and they organized to have an apostille service do the expedited processing on that. I didn't speak to anyone at the FBI, there are just companies that will deal with your apostille processing and request the expediting.

I believe it's 90 days from when they issue the background check, not from when you submit the request or when it gets apostilled. If you're worried about the timing on processing your request, though. I'm going through the residency application process now, and I believe we expedited the...

It's an essential component of the US income tax you'd be paying if you're a contractor/freelancer instead of a W-2 employee, so if someone is trying to figure out both their US and Argentine tax situation, it's something to keep in mind.

I just did a gym search, and it seems like a lot of gym chains charge between $8-12k per month. If you were staying longer you could get a discount down to $5-6k for a multi-month contract. Depending on what you care about in a gym, local places might serve what you need at a better rate. When I...

He's suggesting that if you've hit the two-year mark, you can apply for citizenship in Argentina. However, my understanding (also expressed by @dsp27 here) is that without an existing temporary residence permit, the road to citizenship can be a bit steeper.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts on this! For anyone wanting to hear a resolution, the answer ended up being "just go somewhere else". We got a friend's DNI as a backup and we looked into getting a CDI (which we may still do in the future), but on the way to deal with that he popped in to a...

I'm not sure which places he's gone to, but these were all instances of him going to buy it in-person. I'll pass on those shop names to him.

The places he's talked to wouldn't take the passport number because of some AFIP form. This could definitely be a "they should be able to use the passport number" vs "do they know they can use it on the form" issue. But just buying it elsewhere might be the answer, I don't know what research...

My husband and I are working through the residency application process but don't have DNIs yet. He's trying to buy a new laptop to start a new remote gig, but is running into the issue of not being able to pay for it with a card without having a DNI. He's trying to avoid having to run around...

Could be! I just didn't want others to see this thread and think Celano had completely closed their doors to anyone not engaging in ~corporate mobility~ cases. Then again, they haven't taken a retainer fee from me yet, so... 🤷‍♀️

That's odd... I had a first consultation with Celano yesterday morning about a residency application. Hope that wasn't for nothing?

I think Hostelworld might. Linked below is the place we stayed in El Chalten (which I'd recommend), though I didn't book the place ahead of time so I can't confirm that Hostelworld keeps the payment in pesos once you check out. When we paid with a card at the front desk it was in pesos...
