Just one point to add about online work here in Argentina, the current law is that any income made from freelance/contractor work in another currency has to be "pesified" within 5 days at the official peso rate which is almost 50% lower than the rate of the likes of Western Union. Essentially...

I've been using buses regularly here in Buenos Aires with no issues, there are no checks and I've been using a standard anonymous subtle card without issue. Until recently there were checks at Metro entrances but I used the Metro last week with no checks, with the amount of people on it I guess...

EUR has jumped also with Western Union, now at 206 pesos. "Don't back down, double down" looks to be WU's play!

I do admit that I am on the side of Cristina, Kicillof etc politically but I thought C5N's coverage of this issue was absolutely hilarious. At times you just have to throw your hands up and say your side f'd it up (kudos to Victor Hugo who managed that on the radio), but C5N's light speed "ah...

If we want to go down that road my vote would be for Victoria Tolosa Paz instead.

The phrase "más falso que Judas" springs to mind whenever I see Vidal.

So I got my 2nd dosis today and again wasn't asked for anything other than my passport, I guess it's the luck of the draw.

I received the alert to book an appointment for my 2nd dosis which is tomorrow, I'll reply back afterwards with confirmation if it was plain sailing again or if the experience was different this time..

Combined with Jaimito's response it looks like it depends on who attends you on the day, how very Argentinian! I got Sinopharm, unfortunately the possibility to see which center has which vaccine wasn't available at the time, I'd have chosen Sputnik to make my very Kirchnerst fiancée jealous...

I have nothing to back this opinion up with but every time I see Alberto's wife she strikes me as the type of person that would sell her own grandmother to make one more step up on the social ladder.

In general I don't like the practice of going through almost a decade of someone's social media to find something to hold against them because you would be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't published BS at one point or another (Let him who is without sin cast the first stone etc), but...

It's absolutely hilarious that people think the opposition had even the faintest of ideas of how to manage this crisis. Macri wanted everything left open in order to let the virus rip through the population, Bullrich wanted to privatise vaccines so the depth of your pockets would have decided...

If we're really on the road to being Venezuela and Cuba, why stay? Ah...yeah... Bullrich, Vidal, Larreta and Macri will save us....lol

That's what I took away from the thread, I thought it was the difference between permanent residency and full citizenship, but I could be wrong..

Citizenship does open up the possibility to move with ease to other MERCOSUR countries due to the free movement agreement, so if retiring in a Brazilian beach is a goal citizenship might be the best way to go vs residency.

I went for my vaccine last week in CABA with just my passport and they said nothing about the requirement for a precaria for the second dose, they just told me they will call or message me when it is possible to schedule my second dose. For me it doesn't make any sense in requiring a precaria...

The UK embassy has updated it's travel advice page and says that the tourist visa is no longer being extended, "The 90-day permission to visit Argentina for those who entered the country before 17 March 2020 and whose original 90 days expired after 17 March 2020, is no longer being...

If citizenship is the only goal I'd follow the route of tourist visa - citizenship with a lawyer like Bajo_Cero and concentrate on some online freelance work if that is a possibility for you. I've been here for a year and a half on a tourist visa without a DNI, I've lived without issues (even...

I got vaccinated without issues today just with my passport (here on a tourist visa since last March). They didn't ask for any other documents and everything went without issue, very impressive process they have at Luna Park. It was Sinopharm today, probably serves me right for talking bad...
