    US born to Argentina mother, looking for citizenship info

    Seems pretty straightfoward. https://www.argentina.gob.ar/opcion-de-nacionalidad-argentina-para-hijos-de-argentinos-nacidos-en-el-exterior As said above, you need to contact the consulate.

    General Strike June 25 2018

    I have two doctors appointments on Monday. Going to try to make it.... It's provincia, so hopefully they don't block the roads. :confused:

    New Here - Moving to Buenos Aires in September

    That's heartbreaking. Do shipments actually get through? How difficult is it to get stuff to the people in need?

    New Here - Moving to Buenos Aires in September

    I am as critical of this place as anyone, but compared to Venezuela I'm sure you'll find that it's not so bad here. :)

    Argentina 1, Iceland 1...???!!!

    They should have won, but Iceland played with a lot of heart and their goalie had a great day. Not often does one block a Messi penalty. Hopefully they got the first game jitters out and do better going forward...

    Expat shuffle ...

    I would not risk “visa runs” unless you absolutely need a current visa (my registro civil stated that my passport needed to be up to date to get married, but this was provincia, 6 years ago, and different administration so your mileage may vary.) It's not like you're fooling anyone of not being...

    Aerolineas Argentinas Chosen as Numero 1 in Latin America, by Travel Advisor

    I used to fly LAN but haven't since the merge. Aerolineas is usually the best deal (especially in cuotas) so we usually fly with them. Even during the K years. They also allow 2 checked bags while many of the others are down to one (at least they did the last time I flew.) I don't enjoy...

    Inflatable Wedge Pillow

    You could try searching mercadolibre for “almohada triangular inflable”... The ones I saw there were steeper. Not sure if that is what you are looking for.

    Maradona what a clown

    He's drugged out of his mind. He's a futbol hero, but I don't think anyone looks to him as a moral role model.

    Argentina's Economic Collapse in 2001

    Argentina's problem is she goes from one extreme to the other. I don't consider myself leftist at all, but selling out the country to banks and big business in the name of “privatization” isn't good long term planning either. Let's not kid ourselves... Making deals with the IMF is like making...

    Package held at customs

    Find out specifically what that telegram says. Despite the false promise of door to door delivery, you sometimes get a telegram first telling you to take some steps (have to go online, pay, and print out proof, etc) before you can pick up or have your package delivered. My mom sent me some...

    Everything gone to hell, again!

    Yea, more than Cambiemos it is Repetimos. ;) It's not that I think bad things aren't going to happen... I think we're headed for some rocky times. But I wouldn't call what is happening a corralito and the situation isn't the same. People had their dollars effectively stolen in 2001. You could...

    Abortion to become legal.....

    Part of the populace. It's a controversial issue everywhere and this is probably not the time to add another social public project. Argentina is not in a good place to pay... I wish a lot of these famous people pushing for this would open a charity to help poor women find a decent doctor (here...

    Everything gone to hell, again!

    I imagine there's a bit of a run on the banks... not a corralito, but they may be having trouble keeping up with demand. It's a lot different than having dollars in the bank, not being able to take them out, and then being turned to pesos at 3 to 1 instead of 1 to 1. At least you can still buy...

    Living cost

    1 bedroom apartment vs. 4 bedroom house are 2 very different things. Neighborhood matters too.

    What would you miss most if you left Argentina?

    Compared to the US... The healthcare system, the freedom from someone telling me what I can do with my house (no permits, which has its own issues), not afraid to get randomly shot or harrassed by a police officer (might get randomly shot or harrassed here, but not by police) :p , my favorite...

    "It Might Be Time To Get Out Of Argentina"

    I think there's a bit of a panic due to the fact that inflation is higher than government estimates and the people are scrapped for cash with all the rate hikes. Things will probably get worse before they get better, but a crash isn't necessary. We’ve been crashing since 2001. I don't agree with...

    Cupcakes in Buenos Aires?

    It's been my experience that the porteño idea of a cupcake is a muffin or magdalena with some overly sweet topping. For some reason it seems they do not appreciate “cake” - cakes are often dense or creamy goop, not light and fluffy. Bizcocho (the closest to US style cake) is often served plain...

    Looking for guidance - apartment hunting

    Ceviche, no seas baboso. It's creepy. :confused: A garantia is basically collateral for renting an apartment. An asset (usually a house or apartment) that you or someone on your behalf puts up to guarantee you'll pay rent/expenses. You can also get one from a bank and there are...
