I'm sorry, I really only know the details for bringing a car into Argentina. I am sort of googling around for you but am having trouble finding anything concrete. :( From what I'm finding they are mostly saying the biggest issue is dealing with Argentine goverment for exports, but on the bright...

This depends on where you are taking it, what country are you taking it to? I think your main concern is the country you are going to... as that is the place you will be paying the most to get it through customs.

I think you're good since you are en tramite. I have a friend who has left Argentina a couple times without her paperwork in order and she didn't have to pay the fine or have any problems reentering the country, so I think they accept an expired tourist visa as long as you are in the process of...

I would also be interested in a cooking club! I have lately been experimenting with different recipes and am always interested in learning new ones! :)

I'm not sure I understand why they are adding the charge on foreign cards as well if the purpose was to prevent people from getting away with a better exchange rate. Paying with a foreign credit card we are already getting the bad exchange rate :(

There was a cute little pet store on Borges close to Santa Fe that sold imported pet supplies and dried cat nip last time I checked. But that was a couple years back.

Oops sorry, just saw that you're engaged! Congrats! So obviously you are 100% committed to her :) Many people here say that the money aspect doesn't matter, but I think it does make quite a difference. Middle class Argentina is not the same as Middle class in Canada.

I agree with everything JamJam said... and Montauk Project regarding moving here for love. Just coming for a few months won't really help you decide because lets face it coming down here just to visit isn't really the same as living and working here. I LOVE Argentina as a tourist- but as an...

Freiheit.1991 - I hope things work out for you! As someone else that has passed a lot of their relationship long distance, it can be really tough, but it also can build a really strong bond! Best of luck!

Wow it sounds like we both started coming here about the same time! My first time here was beginning of 2005! I agree that it makes things more confusing just not knowing what "law" is being followed that day. While maybe the law is written one way, it is interpreted in different ways just...

Haha, no worries! Like said before you are basically in the same boat as me! :) Thank you for your input! It sounds like citizenship is the easiest route however I really only plan to be here 2-3 years more... so I am a little hesitant to bind myself to the country for the rest of my life as it...

Hi! I have been able to find 40/41 which are my varying size for a us 9.5. While I agree they're hard to find they do sell them especially in the bigger shopping centers (dot,unicenter and Palermo shopping) or big name shoe retailers. Usually it's the smaller non chain stores that say that size...

What airlines do you travel that you could bring your pet on board with you? I only have traveled with American and my cat has to go in a special compartment :(

Since you have a pension I think that's the best way. It might take longer but is better than possibly losing half your belongings if you get divorced! Plus a divorce in the long run would be a much bigger headache than getting your residency the pension route! :)

Hi again! So I am curious, after searching for ultima prorroga here I am a lot more nervous about that part! Posts are a couple years old, but recently has anyone had trouble coming back into Argentina after getting a ultima prorroga? Or better yet, can anyone with a ultima prorroga in their...

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum but have been living here off and on since 2005. During that time I have had a student visa (6 months) and a work visa for 2.3 years. My work visa expired in November of 2011, and I was home for a year until August 2012. I came back, and did not go try to get...

go in the morning, and try and get there a little before they open, because people form a line! Also you have to pay very close attention when they call your number, its impossible to understand them... many times i have sat there way over the time i needed to because i didnt understand them...

I have heard that if you get married in Argentina, and then once you (the US citizen) has permanent residency here for 6 months, you can apply directly in the US embassy in Argentina for your spouse's visa, where in they can become an automatic US citizen and can start working right away once...

Hi! As someone who has both worked at an Argentine company, and as a freelancer for companies in the US, my recommendation is to try and focus on the freelance work from outside the country, and find a part time job for meeting people and having at least some income for those months where the...

Hi girls! I'd love to meet new people too, I have been in BA for a long time but like most of us, almost all my expat friends have left. Unfortunately I have a super busy work week so will be glued to my computer through the weekend, but if you guys do a get together another time please post to...
