I recently bought a new iPhone 13 Pro abroad. I was selling my old iPhone X and from a quick search on ML before leaving, I should have been able to make 500 USD from it. When I finally returned to Argentina, I started advertising it for that price, but there wasn't the slightest interest. Not...

If you have a digitally signed certificado de antecedentes penales, you just email it to someone in Argentina and they can take it to the Colegio de Escribanos. If you aren't willing to do so, you can hire a gestor that will do the apostille over TAD for a fee.

What would be the cheapest option to maintain a US number that is not Google Voice or virtual, hence can be used for verification? Ideally, if I can also have data and get rid of the Argentinian number, the better

We are in need of a city car, too. Nothing fancy, just to take us from point A to point B in the city and the outskirts. Maybe an occasional trip to Rosario or Mar del Plata. It will be parked on the street. Any advice on how things work here to buy cars? Any chance to pay with money abroad?

I too have Google Voice, however it has some limitations. It is not accepted to verify your identity, hence cannot be used with Venmo and Paypal. I am currently outside of Argentina and I cannot login to my Paypal account because it asks for my phone number for verification, but then it says my...

This is America, too!

I don't think you know cheese. At all. Treat yourself to a trip to France or Italy.

I do most of my business in the US (East to West) and in lesser amount with the UK. Buenos Aires works great for me. I get inquiries from the UK when I get up, then can work alone until the US customers pick up. West coast clients keep me busy until 10-11 PM at times but it is never too late to...

Italy via Amsterdam. Yes, I have to do a 7 day quarantine and then a free PCR test whose results take from 24 to 72 hours. After that, I am free to roam. So far, it's been 32 hours since my test and still no results.

KLM. I arrived yesterday and my flight was 97% full. It took me 1h 45' to leave the airport, all in all. The first part (passport control, baggage collection, baggage scanning was done in 45'). The testing took the longest. You can have a coffee while you wait for the results.

Sounds like I got lucky to be on today's flight. My travel agent could only see flights until 9/11 and they were all full. I'll feel luckier when I have safely landed in BsAs and released to go home.

I suppose you are flying AirFrance/KLM. So am I (via Amsterdam). I had a rescheduled flight for September 2, and yesterday late in the day my travel agent informed me that my flight was cancelled. I called her this morning to discuss my options - she said she could put me on the 8/31 flight but...

Games are marketed at different places depending on your country of residence. Usually they take the source of payment as proof of residence, i.e. you need an Argentinian card to pay if you want to get Argie prices. However, I think in Steam you need an Argie account to keep accessing your...

That's a sound advice. KLM did that for me, and rescheduled me for the first flight in September that has been consistently approved in August. I feel fairly confident that I am going to fly home for real.

Me, just once for now.

Yeah, because they didn't cancel the flight because there was going to be the Rugby team on it. They just happened to have that flight booked because it was a date by which all Rugby competition at the Olympic Games would have concluded. So there is nothing to read into it. KLM stopped selling...

That was a regular flight that got cancelled along many others on the same route. You are reading too much into it. Mine was cancelled (8/8) and rescheduled (9/2) earlier this week, even if the new DNU only covers until 8/6.

Which is exactly the difference between paying 90k ARS@100 and @180. I would be reluctantly okay with a 30% duty fee, but 50% seems draconian.

I don't understand well this part. They suggested you should have gotten a lower invoice (say, for $300)? My SIL once asked to a family member to bring over a new paraglider for her. Both were Argentinians residing in Argentina at the time. The family member got pulled over at the airport and...

I can hardly imagine myself having enough pesos on me to pay a 900 USD import duty in Ezeiza when coming back from abroad. But I guess it would work for someone else if you can pay by card and you have an Argentinian account loaded with pesos. I don't think they let you out without paying... I...
