Maybe they thought you were trying to sign up through employment or something. Tell them your not working or that you work for an external company, and that your signing up independently.

I just signed up for OSDE with my passport last month. Nothing else, not even proof of address, just the passport. I didn't yet have residency, was still on a tourist visa and still no problems. It took maybe 10 minutes. I went to the one on Santa Fe and Billinghurst.

I've done lots of conversation exchanges usually with people I met on the site conversationexchange.com. I didn't have a structure so much as meet up for coffee or beers or whatever, and just talk. You guys can switch languages at any point where the transition feels comfortable. It just kind of...

Thanks guys you are awesome sauce. Seems like there is very little outside Palermo in terms of concentration of restaurants. I have found great restaurants all over, but if you get there and for some reason you don't want to stay there, finding another place right by is not always a garauntee.

Great suggestions guys. Any areas outside of Palermo?

Hey guys, I hope i can explain what I'm looking for and that you can guys can help. I'm looking for areas with lots of restaurant/bars, people and energy. Places like Plaza Serrano, Calle Baez in Las Cañitas, around the cemetery in Recoleta, or by the river in Puerto Madero. These places...

I have lived in both NY and San Fran and now in buenos aires. Trust me when i say if you live paycheck to paycheck in NY and San Francisco you will be doing the same here. Buenos Aires may seem cheaper at first glance but when you're earning pesos, that image disappear quickly. I am able to live...

Thanks fellas.

Hey guys, what's the going rate for a housekeeper these days? Someone to do basic cleaning and maintenance, generally keeping an apartment from becoming a pigsty. Last I remember it was 30 or 35 an hour, but that was over a year ago. The way things change around here that number could be...

It is pretty easy. I did it reversed, I came here 1st on the tourist visa enrolled in classes then went to get the visa at migraciones. The process is very, very easy though it takes some planning as some documents take time to get, like the fbi report. If your doing it state side i'm sure it'll...

Getting a furnished apartment for 6 months is fairly easy. Most short term rentals are allowed to rent up to 6 months. BytArgentina for example is a common short term rental agency and you can get 6 months with them. You can also rent a year by signing two 6 months contracts with the owner. I...

I filed electronically using HRBlock with an argentine address.

What about if you are already pregnant? Swiss Medical says you have to wait 3 months to get pregnant. They say they don't have a plan that covers your pregnancy related costs if your already pregnant. Is there an insurance company that will take you on if your baby is already on the way?

It's the standard $300 pesos. You go to the migraciones office in the airport. Do this first before going to the check in desk, because the airlines aren't technically supposed to let you checkin til you've paid. Migraciones gives you a sheet of paper, you take it to the bank, which is also in...

So the short answer is yes. You can pay it at 4am at Ezezia. Imigraciones and Banco de Nacion are open 24hrs.

Thanks guys. The online system does not work. I tried, it lets you create a user account, but then nothing. I'm going to head over to migraciones to be on the safe side. I would hate to miss my flight for something like this.

Hey Guys, quick question... I have a flight out of Ezezia at 6am. I'm going to have to pay the overstay fee which i'm prepared to do, but something tells me with this being Argentina, no one will be there to accept payment until regular business hours. Has anyone payed the fee that early in...

How do you pay it in advance without some kind of formal charge? Don't you need something to take with you to Banco Nacional in order to pay?

Do the suggestions change if its expanded to a weekend trip instead of a day trip?

I think Banco de La Nacion has a free account that you can open with just a passport. http://www.ignacioonline.com.ar/2010/10/cuenta-universal-guia-para-saber-como-y.html
