It looks like you're here because you have an Argentine girlfriend. If you intend to stay long term, sign long term rental contracts, obtain health insurance, and do most of the normal things, you need to obtain either temporary (and then permanent) residency or citizenship. Marrying your...

It's not entirely clear what you are trying to do. The Commonwealth Bank sends codes to its App, which you can receive here when connected to Wifi and thus complete a transaction you are undertaking on internet banking in the event it is one of those that need a code. (I have an account with...

Is that same state broadcaster taking on the current government over the war in Ukraine, about which there are competing views about whether it should continue or instead be brought to a close?

It's hard to think of a reason why they would accept two people whose income was less than 2 X the minimum amount. But the income requirement for the pensionista is new, so if you try for it, or get professional advice, please let us know how Migraciones are interpreting their own rules on the...

I wasn't the only one reimagining the past. Red, who often tells us he only arrived here in 2014, was nostalgically recalling the days when Macri as Jefe de Gobierno (2007-2015) was throwing all those construction jobs to his buddy Nicky Caputo's companies. Since we're still kicking the...

It's true. And did you also know that Larreta's father conspired with Osama Bin Laden to plan 9/11 and that Larreta and Maria Eugenia later led a special operation to destroy the evidence?

If you've been reading other threads on this forum, you will have seen almost universal agreement that to obtain temporary residency as a Rentista you need a lawyer. It is a complicated and drawn out category to apply under. Only a lawyer can answer these questions and, even then, he or she will...

Briefly, I think ultimately you will find that you can enroll in the program without residency (and then you use the proof of enrollment as the basis of your application for temporary residency in the category of student). The university probably means that you can't start your course unless...

The most likely scenario if Milei actually makes it over the line is destitution, juicio politico/vacancia. Various commentators are now pointing to this (Andres Malamud, for example). And they are right. It's standard practice now in various countries and happens when the president has nobody...

To be fair to Red, there have been other posters around here lately even more dismissive of the chances that Milei would make it.

Nooo! Let's keep it going. At the moment we've got two threads running simultaneously, one filled with extraordinary claims of people having direct connections to Bill Gates, and the other with tales of individual conquests in prodigious numbers of Latin American women from Mexico to Colombia...

Listening to Macri's speech on PASO election night. Listening to what he said with Mahul last night. Listening to Milei for weeks. And here, just unearthed, is Pagni speculating about exactly this possibility. Skip straight to the segment 49.57 to 50.30 and on to 51.37 about the Radicals. (The...

I agree. It's hard to know one way or the other. That's my point. People around here (this board) regularly express supreme confidence on the matter, when at best it can only be a hunch or educated guess based on whatever criteria each one uses to think about the matter.

People keep confidently asserting this around here. And maybe it's true. But nobody has yet provided any solid information that shows this to be the case, or that at least backs up the serenity they appear to have on the matter.

Probably JxC will cease to exist after losing this election (after not even reaching the ballotaje, which is what I'm tipping). Milei will have usurped the concept of "change" and with it their reason for being and reason for remaining in coalition. Macri will control Pro deputies, but the other...

I'm just offering an explanation for why people vote for one party at a provincial election and a different one at a national election and why Milei's candidates for governor polled so low compared to his performance PASO performance. No will ever be able to put a number on how much higher they...

I guess the voters know how to distinguish between local and national issues. It's quite common in other countries with similar federal systems for people to vote one party in at state level and a different party at national level. Also, Millei's candidates would probably have done better had...

I'm watching Patricia with Leuco. He asks: when are you all going to sit down together and work out what proposals you are going to offer at the election? Patricia begins mumbling: Well, tomorrow we are going to sit down for a coffee with Horacio, then there will be a photo, and then Wednesday...

Nobody seems to be working in any detail at that level. I think there is too much uncertainty to make it worthwhile. However, Carlos Pagni's analysis tonight showed that Milei is in a position to pick up a couple of senate seats, and that, whatever happens, the Peronists will lose control of the...

The future of the wealth tax has been plunged into doubt tonight with the primary election result. It seems inevitable that one of the right-of-center parties will govern for at least the next four years from December. Either will move to reduce and quite possibly eventually abolish the tax...
