Just curious- when you say you have plenty of savings and are just interested in the Visa, up to being willing to accept a $3 an hour job- Are you serious? I moved with a decent (I wouldn’t say ‘plenty of’, but a ‘wise’ amount) savings and thanks to the inflation and paying rent in USD (which...

Depending upon how you see it, either really good or bad, since Spain has always had such allure for expats/retirees, there are indeed communities of just about every nationality to be had. Personally I think it’s a bit odd and even sad to see some Brits in Costa del Sol shop at the british...

Half my family is Spanish and the other half Argentinean, and I’ve just left Buenos Aires and will be moving back to Spain. Many of the things previously mentioned are true (both the good and the bad), but even the worst of the bad (in my opinion) isn’t as bad as Argentinean bad. Rents and...

LOL it’s not the actual name of the dry cleaner

So it appears that my dry cleaner has been conveniently ‘losing’ some of the clothing (none of the cheaper, more generic stuff, go figure!) I have hurriedly been dropping off and picking up without bothering to check the ticket. It’s not that I have a massive amount of clothes and didn’t...

Update/Help! -the ‘carta de notificación de deuda’ I was given at Ezeiza has the generic link to the migraciones page as a reference of where I can pay this fine online (www.migraciones.gov.ar) , however once on this site, I don’t see anywhere to go to pay this fee online as it states I can do...

The document they made me sign and gave me a copy of, says 15,000 pesos, i overstayed by a few months- and they also made me sign a document saying the airline didn’t do it when I checked in- honestly Ive never done it before so didn’t know this was an airline thing, and the police chief seemed...

Update- I left EZE today and the fine is now 15,000 pesos. Moreover I forgot exactly at what point during the process I would be told to pay and apparently the girl who checked me in didn’t notice (I speak Rioplatense Spanish fluently) and once I got to the control de pasaportes, I was summoned...

I feel like security/safety has improved, or maybe it’s my perception, and again, maybe as someone mentioned, it’s becsuse the news covers it less, OR maybe me and my friends/circle have just been lucky! (knock on wood) but actually, the security minister, Patricia Bullrich, was on the Mirtha...

Retiro definitely has more police on every corner than before

I haven’t noticed a spike in crime (but never say never) actually I see a cop standing on just about every block in most major streets here in Cap Fed, which during the K years was not the case

I work with a few senior level executives of several finance multi nationals, namely one entity who has, up until about a week ago, remained optimistic about the situation, but who has now given its portfolio of clients a very diplomatic chat about how it’s going to get extremely rough for the...

Yes. I’m not saying it’s a good thing . Do you know that even the Aduanas ‘vet ’ flights from Miami to Buenos Aires because of the massive loads of things they tend to bring back? I flew in during Christmas and someone had even brought back an 8 foot artificial Christmas tree

That’s the key- steady, reliable income in USD or another stable currency equivalent, before moving back I did the ‘take a trip here and see’ not one but 3 times HOWEVER- the take a trip for awhile and see ONLY works if on these trips you immediately immerse yourself to what your REAL LIFE will...

It’s tough. I moved back to BA in April after having taken 3 trips with my Arg mother who is thinking of retiring here and having lived here a few years previously, took a job I had prior because thankfully I’ve established quite a good clientele and kept in contact with them over the years...

Hello! After a few months of living alone in an Air BNB apartment, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s starting to get expensive, and my lifestyle is not conducive at the moment to really need my own place (I am never home, never cook, and use my apartment for the bare basics) so I am seeking...

Is this available for foreigners and does it cover a wide variety of basic things?

I flew their international business class from Miami to EZE and back and it was quite good. The seats weren’t the ‘sky suites’ that Delta and American now boast in their premium cabins nor do they have wi-fi on board, but I feel like they know this aspect doesn’t measure up and thus try to...

Hello! I am selling my 10.5 inch IPad Pro in space gray, 64gb, with data and WiFi capabilities. It was purchased in the US in September at Verizon and is in used but exceptional condition with no scratches, flaws, etc. It has been used very lightly mostly for making presentations, etc. I am...
