Thanks for pointing out some benefits, however, I see nothing that would convince me to obtain permanent resident status. My Arg wife can get most of the items listed should they be desired, but frankly, most of them are either not desired or are irrelevant (especially item #8).

I am married to a Portena. We split our time between Arg and the US pretty evenly going back and forth 3 or 4 times per year, not to mention short departures from Arg for trips to Brasil, Uruguay or cruises elsewhere. I never overstay the 90 day visitor timeframe. I could obtain permanent...

I believe Taxi Ezesia may be as good or better an option. There is a desk inside the secure area and one outside the secure area located in the terminal near the exit of the secure area - the latter has lower prices than the former (go figure). Both take plastic.If you have a lot of bags, ask...

I have my Medicare and a Medicare Supp plan (United Health) for when I am in the US (though I have some foreign emergency coverage through United with a 5K annual self retention and and a lifetime capp of about 1MM). I have a local doc for ordinary MD visits. He was 1st in his class in Med...

I have Emergencias. I pay about 1600 pesos/mo. I like it and it has saved me lots of money including on drug prescriptions (40% off). Xarelto cost me about $40 /mo here . It costs about $450/mo in the US.

You did indeed understand my point -- enjoy the ride. I have been doing so, off and on, for over 45 years. I no longer empathize with the locals as I once did. Of course, some of the politicians and some of the wealthy share responsibility for the sorry state of affairs. So do others, e.g., the...

I'm a frequent visitor and even more so now that I married a Portena. It's been a while since I participated here, but feel obliged to comment on a discussion seeking to assign blame for the chronic economic problems suffered by so many, if not, most Argentines. I'm not sure who or what is...

Uh....Che, rather than the IMF, you want I should believe in Argentina? Hmmm. I'll opt for the IMF. p.s. I first started coming to Bs As in 1975. I have been spending blocks of time here since then, more in the past decade because I bought an apt here in 2008. I married a Portena and have spent...

Blasphemy?

Aren't on time departure/arrival figures (as %s) available as a measure of efficiency? How does AAr compare?

Is there a Costco near you?

San Andreas in the northern zone (San Isidro). As you appear to be Jewish, have you tried ORT ?

http://www.thebubble.com/financier-ernesto-clarens-admits-taking-bribes-to-kirchner-properties/ What I know about fiscal policy, trade balances, and economics in general would echo in a thimble. Whether the continuing financial problems of Argentina can be blamed more on the failures of the Ks...

I was here in most of 1975 and some of 1976. While the death squads proliferated under Isabelita's term, I think it is inaccurate to say "she" had the death squads. Lopez Rega and his minions (the triple AAA) operated independently of Isabelita. It was active before and after the coup as well...

I do appreciate your comments and am willing to stand corrected to some degree (though your disparaging manner of correcting leads me to believe you're not the best of teachers). As I understand it, from 1930s to the end of the war the country amassed great wealth. With the ascendancy to power...

It is my understanding that the prosperity of Bs As and Argentina in the 50s/60s was in large part due to the neutrality of Argentina for almost all of WWII. It enabled Arg to amass great wealth by doing very profitable business with all sides including Nazi Germany. This was true until the very...

And no "ultra" corruption before 2015? Do you believe that?

If Mauricio Macri was in cahoots with his cousin or was otherwise profiting from the theft of state money as described in the above linked Forbes article, then he should be tried or impeached and brought to justice. He, as well as all other parties complicit in the theft of state funds, should...

You are free to ignore me if you choose to do so; however, to ignore me or any other expat simply because we are not knowledgeable about an article of Arg law strikes me as extremely telling. Hey, we are expats, not local lawyers. We can not be expected to know the content of a citation (the...
