Monique, Thanks. That was a very helpful tip about how the deposits show up in the account. I am feeling safer about getting the permanent extension next time. Paul, I also have done it all myself without a lawyer. To start the process in the U.S., just go to the website of, or call, the...

It is really pretty much the luck of the draw as to who you get at Migraciones and what mood they are in that day. I got the inicial rentista visa in the U.S. At the first renewal the woman didn't like it that I only had an account with the commercial finance house where I brought the money...

I have temporary residency via a rentista visa. When it comes up for the third renewal next spring, I should be able to get permanent residency. My question is if there is a MINIMUM number of days I must be in Argentina during the year in order to qualify for the renewal/change of status to...

e I am interested in this as well. Can I use my Argntine debit card in the U.S.? Or do I have to get an Argentine credit card?

Yes. I recently did it.

My experience is that you don't need any kind of residency, DNI or bank account to buy an apartment. You can buy an apartment as a tourist. But you do need the CDI. Residency is an entirely different thing. For residency, the sequence of events is first you get a visa for temporary residency...

You definitely do not need permanent residency. I have temporary residency, and Migraciones made me get the account before they would renew my temporary residency for a second year. My account is at Santander Rio. I did need the CDI to open it, but I can't remember if they required a DNI...

Haven't been there in 5 years, but when I went in 2008 Hosteria Los Pecanes was great. www.hosterialospecanes.com The food was fabulous. Quite a ways out in the delta from Tigre. Canoeing, birdwatching, not a lot of walking because the island isn't all that big.

Itsy, Nice roundup of the barrio. I would have written just about the same if I hadn't been too lazy. I would just add that we think the Bodegon de la Calle Ayacucho that you mentioned as the parilla beside the verduleria has the best choripan in town. Also, there are tons of buses, including...

We live two blocks away, closer to Ayacucho and Corrientes. The neighborhood seems fine to us. There aren't a lot of restaurants and nigntlife. We are careful at night, as we would be anywhere, but it seems safe enough. There are panaderias, fiambrerias, supermercados, etc. it is a working...

I renewed a rentista visa last week, and it was also surprisingly painless for me. . The new system at RENAPER for the certificado de antecendentes penales requires that you get a turn, and if possible fill out the form online http://www.dnrec.jus.gov.ar/. Then you go once with your passport...

for what its worth, I just got back from the U.S. My favorite hygienist there told me to forget about finding a good cleaning here and to just buy a Phillips Sonicare electric toothbrush. She said that it does basically the same thing that she does. I am tempted to think that this might be...

I'm in the US now and there is a big article with photos in the Wall Street Journal this morning. It says basically the same as others I have read, i.e that this is about politics and not about hunger. I can't post the link because I am not an electronic subscriber.

Does anyone know for sure under the current rules how many dollars in cash an Argentine (not a tourist or expat) can carry out of the country? I am not talking about acquiring dollars, only about taking them out through Ezeiza. I looked at the AFIP website, and I think it says that you don't...

Does anyone know if you still need to have an Argentine bank account to renew a rentista residency? It appears to me that you don't. I looked at both the government website http://www.argentina.gob.ar/tramites/179-pr%C3%B3rroga-de-residencia-temporaria-como-rentista.php and also the Migraciones...

My Medicus plan has a number to call and they will send a doctor to your house.I don't know if this is true for all plans, but it is worth a try. The system is set up for this, so it is not an abuse of it.

Its agua distilada and available at most pharmacies. You have to ask the pharmacist.

BellaLove, Don't trust the website for the consular section of the U.S. embassy in Washington. When I appied for temporary residency in 2011, the most recent update on the website for the rules was in 2007. I may be the last person in the world who got a rentista visa with only a local police...

I´m in Balvanera/Once. Mine went up 254%

I pay my Medicus bill every month on the phone using their electronic service and a US card.
