    A bit lost: Applying for a Family reunification visa, Radex application next?

    Eight years ago it wasn't a problem, but of course, things could have changed. I know navigating Migraciones in general has gotten much harder. Either the Argentine consulate in Atlanta or Migraciones at the airport (don't remember which) gave us the paperwork we needed to go to and request a...

    A bit lost: Applying for a Family reunification visa, Radex application next?

    If I understand your question correctly, you become a tax resident in Argentina once you get residency, whether that's through the consulate route or waiting until you get to Argentina to apply. Also, just to be clear, even if you go the consulate route, you still have to go and request a DNI...

    A bit lost: Applying for a Family reunification visa, Radex application next?

    We did it eight years ago in our city in the US through the Argentine consulate and found them very easy to work with. They allowed me to do all the translations of our documents into Spanish myself. I don't remember how much it cost. It was nice to have that already taken care of when we...

    Hello and a cash question

    One place like this is at the corner of Ayacucho and Santa Fe, in the heart of Recoleta. It's a Pago Facil. The left window is for paying bills and the right for exchanging money. They give you about 30 pesos less per dollar than the "compra" rate published in Infobae or La Nación. You can get a...

    The dreaded 90 day closure letter

    We use Fidelity Investments, and our financial advisor, of course, knows where we live. We've never had any sort of problem in terms of what kind of investments we could have. We do use a US address. We were with Wells Fargo Investments before, with the same advisor, and didn't have any problems...

    What does my address look like?

    We write our zip code in the following way: C1023AAT. Maybe try some variation of that.

    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet

    It wasn't an obviously fake post to me. Even one of your groupies replied to Reply Guy with "good for you," but your response is just another example of your belligerence and your nastiness.

    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet

    But Perry in 2015 wasn't a lot of that the result of price controls, something we know cannot go on indefinitely and just leads to a real jump in prices once those controls are lifted? There were tons of distortions in the economy then that helped keep food prices low but eventually those...

    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet

    And this post flushed out the usual suspects that are willing to go along with your generally insulting, belligerent, and pedantic posts as along as they are long partisan lines. Keep beating us over the heads with your posts, Frank, never really wanting to engage in meaningful dialogue. We've...

    Transport disruptions as unions protest labor reforms

    I thought Aerolíneas and the aeronautical unions were essentially one and the same. And I don't mean that sarcastically.

    Western Union money transfer

    My wife has been able to send me and our Arg bank account money through the app and by just walking into a WU location and giving them the info. Of course, all this while in the US.

    Western Union money transfer

    I have been sending money to myself since this thread first alerted to an advantageous WU rate in 2019. At first I picked up the money in BA and then I started sending it from my bank account in the US to my bank account in Argentina. All this done through the WU website. I've never had a...

    Western Union money transfer

    You can't use the Argentine WU website to send money to yourself or anyone else from the US. That site is only if you want to send money from Argentina. I don't know why it would be telling you to change your manner of payment.

    Argentina's fiery economist-turned-president now is wooing politicians

    Milei has done a number of things that I have not liked and he often does things in a way that I don't agree with, but I do think he is trying to bring about fundamental changes that Argentina desperately need and that others have not been willing to make or haven't been able to make. Yet...

    Argentine couple amazed by Mexican supermarket

    I always have a hard timing coming up with things I miss from the US when folks here ask. I say I have everything I need and everything I had in the States. The last time I was in a supermarket in the States, though, I found myself wishing the supers here had a greater variety of different...

    Can you hold a driver's license from US, if you live abroad?

    I am in the process of renewing my Georgia driver's license and they ask twice if you are a resident of the state. I am not; I live year around in Argentina, and only visit once or twice a year. We do file taxes in the state and use my mother's address as our US address, so yes, we can renew our...

    Carrot Cake + Empanada Hunt

    When I was a kid, I hated that song, so of course the other kids would taunt me with it. Your argentinized version is much better! Thanks!

    Carrot Cake + Empanada Hunt

    Usina Cafeteria has great carrot cake. El Maitén, The Stand, and Cumen, Cumen all have really good empanadas. The Stand has empanadas that you don't find other places, more international in its scope.

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    Just like you were very sure if your statement, without any basis in fact. No one would ever accuse you of being part of the lunatic fringe.

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    If it'd had said the same sort of critical things about Macri and Milei and extolled the virtues of kirchnerismo, he would have given it two likes if that were posible, because it would have been a more than legitimate post.
