    Bottles Of Booze Coming Through Customs

    Wondering if anyone knows what the limit is for brining in booze from abroad. I got a work trip coming up soon to KY right near a few great bourbon distilleries and I was thinking of loading up my checked baggage. I know in the US its something like 2 liters per person. Does anyone know what...

    Monitor For Macbook - Buy Here Or "import"?

    And do you have any problems when you check the monitor? Just pack it with clothes and check it like normal or do you tell them its fragile?

    Skype Interview - Fast Internet Connection In Quiet Place?

    We live in Cañitas and we are stuck with Cablevision...its terrible and the upload is atrocious. ITs taken me over a month with my computer running all night every night to backup my photo library to my cloud service. This Claro package sounds intriguing...any chance it can work independent of...

    Monitor For Macbook - Buy Here Or "import"?

    IF I buy one for less than $300 USD and bring the receipt with me will they give me any problems with duty or will they try to make up a value based on its cost here? Sounds like the best option is to pack it in a suitcase and check it. Shouldnt I be worried about them breaking it?

    Monitor For Macbook - Buy Here Or "import"?

    Im looking to get a new monitoring for my macbook pro. I am not too worried about high res and all the fancy specs that the latest and greatest have to offer I just want something big (maybe 25"+) so I don't have to crink my neck all day long looking down at my laptop. I am wondering about...

    Certificado Penales For A Repented Permatourist

    Careful with this one. I had the same thing and they gave me nothing but problems. They tried adding up every single time I left the country over 7 years to get me over the 12 months mark, even though it wasn't consecutive. In the end, they just admitted it didn't matter what the law said...they...

    Macbook Pro Repair?

    Every time I have had a problem I have taken my Mac to a few different certified apple repair centers around town. The ones in Cañitas and Palermo have always been good enough...but as mentioned by others the real problem is the parts. When my battery fried itself last year I was told there was...

    Granted Permanent Residency - Now What?

    So I just found my receipt this morning and I looked it up on the site you posted above. It says "EL DNI Y/O PASAPORTE SE ENCUENTRA EN LA OFICINA DONDE LO TRAMITÓ" So obviously I need to go pick it up...my question is where? I did all my papers at the main migraciones office...but I always heard...

    Granted Permanent Residency - Now What?

    I think I paid for the DNI when I did all the papers at migraciones...but I don't have any kind of number to look it up. They have not issued me a DNI number, only my numero de expediente, and my precaria number. Ive heard it could be as long as 90 days afterwards that it arrives in the mail...

    Granted Permanent Residency - Now What?

    So its been about 6 weeks now and I still have not received anything. Any ideas on where to go from here? Do I need to make a turno to go get my DNI? I don't even know where to go or who to contact about this outside of going back to migraciones (AKA migraines). Does anyone have any input?

    Granted Permanent Residency - Now What?

    So no need to make an appointment or anything? Interesting...I was confused because it doesn't explicitly say anything about my DNI arriving. But I was under the assumption this entire time that it was all one big process. I gave them photos and such so I was thinking why would they need me to...

    "permatourists" And Background Checks

    Sure thing! I know that I have benefited a lot from the experiences of others here, so while I don't normally contribute much, I felt I needed to do so here. Let me know how it works out, especially if you decide to forego getting the FBI check...I would be very interested to see if you manage...

    "permatourists" And Background Checks

    I just went through this entire experience. I had been living here for about 5 years +/- on tourist runs + actually leaving for work/family reasons every 3 months. When we got married and changed our plans to stay here I started the process of getting everything done. Our lawyer (family...

    Shipping Documents From The Us To Argentina

    Has anyone sent things via UPS for documents? I have had good success with FedEx and DHL, but I have never tried UPS. My mailbox company only (apparently) uses UPS for document forwarding.

    Fbi Report - Taking Own Fingerprints?

    Long story short - I need to redo my FBI background check to complete my residency process and I was wondering if anyone here had ever taken their own fingerprints for the report. I see that you can download the fingerprint card and make the impressions yourself and then send it along with your...

    Getting My Papers Ready For Permanent Residency - A Recap

    Has anyone else experienced this problem: I submitted all of my documents for visa based on my marriage to an Argentine. Since I have been here for the last 6 years roughly with frequent visa hops, I did not submit my FBI check, only my Argentine check as the law says that after three years of...
