    Is Argentina still banning Americans from entering the country?

    yes, as an Argentine you will be allowed, Argentine citizens and permanent residents are allowed. Just get your Argentine passport in order. But as everybody else told you - wait till the ordeal is somewhat over, it's was worse in Arg than in US now - in almos every way.

    Expat Medium-Term Strategy

    Salta would be the best option, it's cute, lively, the nature is breathtaking, rent is low, apartments are nicely finished and modern and have great views, food is cheap and much better than in BsAs, but it gets hot in summer...Mendoza feels very provincial and scattered...San Martin de Los...

    The pandemic: The view after 5 months

    They forgot about the rest of the world where all the cancer and dialysis treatments have been paused for months, as well as all the surgeries cancelled, and there are real stats on how many people will die prematurely as a result of this. So at the end of the day the death toll of the virus...

    The pandemic: The view after 5 months

    Gracielle, you forget that thousands live in geriatric facilities in Argentina and those have no choice. And there are hundreds of thousands if not millions in the first world countries living in nursing home and assisted living facilities and retirement residents - and those have been on a lock...

    122.98:91.85=1.3389( 1.34 ) CCL is 126.56, but was around 124 yesterday, WU is lagging a day behind, so both US and Canadian are about a penny'n a half below CCL and that's how it's always been since October

    Western Union money transfer

    actually it is exactly the same - if you apply the exchange rate between US and canadian dollar, WU rate for canadian is on par with WU rate for US. I think the poster doesn't understand the CCL concept, he keeps comparing the rate against the blue. I did the transfers half a dozen times since...

    Argentina re-opening international flights in August!

    for sure...esp considering that they have to deal with the pesadilla of argentine unpredictable idiocy when it comes to red tape. The last few AC flights from EZE at the end of March had SCL-EZE portion cancelled - march 22 after 8 hours of negotiations...cause argentina refused to permit the...

    Argentina re-opening international flights in August!

    Air Canada also depends on Chile for the EZE flights, so if Chile doesn't open by October, Air Canada will either have to postpone again or fly directly - which I doubt they will, they tried a couple of years ago and ended up going back to years old Toronto-Santiago-EZE within half a year...

    High Quality Argentina Products

    I am friends with the produce farmers and I've been buying from them for over many years. They work 365 days a year around the clock and sell their own produce with a smile on their faces and the best service one can only dream of. If half the argentines work like them, this country would be the...
