    Citizenship - how long?

    Foreign credit cards purchases at MEP rate

    The ATMs at Banco Nación have been giving me 2000 notes for months (when they're loaded in the ATM), but the limit is still 40000 per withdrawal. However, depending on your bank, you can change the daily withdrawal limit and do multiple withdrawals, at the ATMs for your specific bank. Look at...

    Citizenship - how long?

    Can you quote a reliable source that says that the government doesn't tax pensions in other countries? They tax retirement income earned here.

    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet

    I got that price buying 6 bottles. In San Telmo, calle Chacabuco al 600, in the Chino. I don't know why it was so cheap, really. Usually when I buy a couple bottles, it's 2300. Maybe the price is coming down. They're not so good there with some of the price labels on the shelves. The eggs...

    Milei meeting with Elon Musk

    That's effectively what he was. Furthermore, you didn't answer my second question.

    Milei meeting with Elon Musk

    And this is what you think has been happening throughout the years? Why do you think that Milei received more votes than Cristina, and even Peron? Because things were being managed so well? Why do you think that Milei still has extremely high approval ratings despite the drastic actions that...

    Western Union money transfer

    When I started sending money to my bank account here with WU, I couldn't get it to work, and WU was useless. Just for the heck of it, I tried to send to myself for pickup at a WU office, and it worked, and after that, I could send money to my bank account without a problem. It's worth a try.

    MoneyGram has been paying more than WU lately, at least with transfers to bank account or especially wallet (at least if you're transferring from the US, after factoring in fees).
