There’s little that can be done even by the collections agencies if they reside outside of the US because foreign wages cannot be garnished due to collections, so yes, I’m sure that like any vicious collections debt recovery they will try their hardest to scare them into paying while still in US...

Well you don’t need Wikipedia to see that Argentina was once a great wealth, just take a look at some of the establishments in Recoleta from it’s hey day. The elegance of many of these buildings from that time rivals many in Europe’s finest capitals. Also I think the general ‘joie de vivre’ that...

FYI-Swiss Medical offers a service where a range of different specialized doctors can come to your house/hotel. A family member became ill while visiting and the hotel offered this service. It was the equivalent of $25 USD and the doc was of magnificent calibre. No one back home believed it:

I didn’t have any problems going to your link the first time. The only doubt I had was regarding prices. I think Argentineans now are kind of price-sensitive, understandably to offer this type of product/service you have to charge for the quality, etc, but maybe you could do a study on what...

I think it could work, as I see more and more interest being shown in healthier vegan eating. There was a place 5-7 years ago that offered vegetarian burgers/food called Green Monster which I used to order from 2-3 times a week.

Aerolíneas crew are very well paid thanks in part to the labor unions and they have impressive conditions for layovers (minimum four star and often times five star hotels, generous per diems, etc)

Sexual abuse is pretty straightforward, but I am curious to see how Argentina is responding to the nonstop every day a different one, accusations that are coming out after in some cases decades, of sexual harassment from people in powerful roles? I was having dinner the other night with a dear...

Greetings All- I saw that there was another post awhile back ago about teaching English in BA but this was the typical ‘mochilero profe’ scenario of more along the lines of a native English speaker who wanted to spend some time living in Argentina and thought they could pick up a few bucks...

$300 by Argentina standards for a guy in his 20s seems high.... I would check with a local insurance Swiss Medical OSDE etc....

Thank you for the info. I see that perhaps it is best to call and inquire about a specific property once I have something in particular in mind. Well I know buying cash has been the norm (and probably a lot easier), lately I am seeing ads for properties, mostly new developments, with ads that...

Surely someone must have some info...?

Greetings And Happy New Year, I have a question about financing a property in Buenos Aires, as I’ve gotten mixed information from various sources. I am looking to invest in a place (half year for my personal use, the other half AirBNB or use of other family members), and while I could buy a...

There seems to be a wide discrepancy of opinions on how much you'd need to live well, and I suspect it has to do with what your individual opinion of "living well" means. That being said, from what I've observed commented about prices, my POV (I lived in Argentina 7 years ago but those are like...

They are contractually obligated from what I hear (for publicity of the Lottery)

LOL, actually as you mention, with the primarily 'negative' (albeit I would say, realistic) vibe I am doubtful. Some people say there is now more variety and that people are optimistic... Others say don't consider moving back 'ni en pedo'... As I mentioned before, the draw to BS As was never...

City girl- thanks for the input. I will most likely go for a visit prior to making the big move, should I choose to make it. Regarding the fact that everything is easier in the states-- I guess it depends on what you mean. Yes, doing the basic of things which I will no doubt have an issue with...

Thank you for your responses. @johndoe may I ask why/how you think things have changed for the worst and that it would be a foolish decision to come back? My quirks are what I had mentioned--- having to through the "red tape" of being an ex pat, but some of my Argy friends (mostly upper middle...

Hello! I've been reading this forum for awhile now and this is my first posting- I'm sure I'll get an array of different answers and opinions, which is exactly what I want. Here's the story- I lived in BA 8 years ago (i know it's not that long, but the way Argentina functions these are like...
