I would avoid importing anything but you probably already know that. Generally it's always cheaper/easier to get things repaired here. Warnes in your friend for these things.

What I always find super interesting ;) is that these posts appear periodically from someone who has never posted before and inevitably never posts again. FWIW - a year or so ago, I was at a dinner with someone from Migraciones fairly high up the food chain and I asked him about the "crackdown"...

Are there any plant people here? Has anyone planted Santa Rita vines here? We've got walls around our farm and I'd like to plant some, they're pretty and bonus - thorns for added security ;) But I'm worried it might get too cold for them. We have some ampelopsis vines planted already and...

Um - that is serious. I would suggest counseling for your wife. And move out. Yesterday. I wouldn't even consider returning until she has completed counseling. And talk to a lawyer. If your son was born here, you are qualified as a permanent resident based on your son's citizenship.

Snort, we have family here that breed jabali (awesome eating!) on their estancia along with deer and the usual cows, sheep, horses, etc. They have a few of those on their walls. Its a little disconcerting!

I'm not surprised. If your friend didn't take it out of the box or wrapping, they won't hesitate to stop someone, tourist or no. I've not heard of them writing down the number though, normally they make you pay it on the spot. If your friend has a credit card or means to pay if they stop him...

Sadly the tech reqs are outside of my scope. I sent you a connect request on Linkedin, I'll mention it to a few friends and see if they might have interest. If they do, I'll pass their info along. Good luck!

They've always required that AFAIK for a tourist visa - or at least my friends have always been asked for all that info when applying going back years. Are you from the US? I've had my share of the embassy employees giving me a hard time (and lots of others) b/c I was from the US but my n1 is...

Bank if America in FL generally will open without problems even without an SSN or tax id. A bunch of my friends have done it at the branch in Wellington (near West Palm Beach). They are very used to foreigners coming for season.

My bank (citi) know I live abroad and have for many years and no problems. I do have a perm US address and tel number though.

Only if you're a logical, sane person!

Well as of July, car inspections will be mandatory for everyone in Cap Fed if the auto is over 3 YO or more than 60,000 kilometers. As for the rest - I've certainly been in some VERY sketchy taxis and had some scary encounters with taxi drivers - had one who tried to climb in the back seat to...

People - the ignore feature is a lifesaver. Best thing I ever did was employ it. I think you will find arguing with some people to be an exercise in futility, esp when adherence to fact - substantiated and unequivocal - seems to be unnecessary in their opinions. ETA - Or we all just start...

I told the story about when we were getting robbed by an ex-employee several times over a 2 month period a few years ago. He was camping out behind our property and then would break in. At one point, we discovered the campsite along with some of our stolen property. We literally brought the...

CUIL has lots of different starting/ending numbers. Mine starts with 27 for example. And you can have 1-9 as an ending number AFAIK.

I had zero luck opening an account at Citi despite being a permanent resident. First it was b/c I don't have pay slips, etc. Then when I navigated that, they told me they don't open accounts for US citizens. I got the same run around from Santander Rio and Galicia. My last stop will be Banco...

You need a lawyer. If you can't afford one, for sure there is a legal aid or other free/low-cost organization that can help you.

You can check it online. I don't have the exact link handy but it's on here somewhere if you search baexpats or just type in "estado tramite residencia" in google and it should pop up. You just need the really long number on the receipt that they gave you with your precaria. If it's not done...

You do understand that real journalists have to fact check stories? Not just print lies or assertions or slander? People are pointing out that there clearly was no due diligence or fact checking done and basically any reliable newspaper - in any country that has a solid 4th estate - would not...

SO THIS!! I actually got into a rather heated (pun intended;) discussion with a friend of mine about this. She 100% believe it is her right to use unlimited heat, light, water etc and pay less than the cost of a meal for all 3 on a monthly basis. I pointed out that in every other area of the...
