When it comes to power outages and service where I live in the country of Argentina, I have nothing negative (or sarcastic) to say. The infrequent outages are usually less than one hour and I always contact my closest neighbor before calling the power company. If my neighbors don't have power...

During the past five years I have made well over 100 WU transfers from Schwab to Santander Rio. With one exception, the funds were credited to my Santander Rio account the same day that I made the transfer. The exception was credited on the following day. Today's transfer was the first in well...

Do you happen to know if there are any visa options in Europe for a "retirre" from the USA who has a monthly Social Security income of about $1,200 dollars as well as (occasionally) two or three hundred from working online? PS: I'm not asking for myself.

I don't have to dig very deep into the past to remember what I can now regard as "ridículos low prices." Fourteen months ago, my daily cost of living was between $5.50 and $6.00USD per day (not including rent, which I don't pay). Now it's between $16.50 and $18.00USD per day The COL does not...

When I was on the ARBA website this morning, I had the option to pay ARBA in one (annual) cuota or in five installments which will be due on about the tenth day of every other month, starting in March.

My annual car tag (aka: patentes) fee for a 1994 Peugeot 405gl was zero last year, as well as at least the ten years prior to 2024. Recently, however, my car insurance increased by a factor of four: from $5000 pesos per month to just over $20.000.

The 2025 ARBA assessment finally appeared online this morning. To my great surprise, the valuation and the amount due is almost exactly the same as 2024.

In 2023 I searched for 220 volt crockpots (aka: slow cookets) offered for sale on Mercado Libre and shared the results here: https://baexpats.org/threads/the-quest-to-find-a-220v-crock-pot-at-a-reasonable-price-in-argentina-finally-ends.45835/post-432193 Here are two that are available now...

Sounds like a great idea. I think I'll try it! PS: Just as a matter of personal choice, I won't sweeten it with honey or serve it with dried fruits like figs or cranberries (to avoid the glucose spikes) or almonds (to avoid the oxilates)...and never with bread of any kind (to avoid glucose...

Here are two threads which deal with the topic of building expenses, including what can happen when one of the owners doesn't pay their monthly expenses and/or the administrador does not adequately carry out their responsabilities...

The consorcio fees are always calculated and are payable on a monthly basis and are always subject to increasing on a monthly basis.

I first purchased a 68 mt2 apartment in Recoleta (Aranales 2078) in late October of 2006. The building had an elevator and a porteña who mopped the lobby six days a week and occasionally slid mail under the door of the apartments. Before I moved in (ten days after seeing the apartment for the...

I'm giving this thread a bump, hoping it will provide the new member known as "Candz" with useful information. In mid-November of 2024, my monthly COL was just over $400USD (up from $165USD in January of 2024). By the end of the year, my monthly COL was just under $500USD. The only reason...

It will not be possible to obtain an Argentine driver's licence without being able to take the written exam which, as far as I know, is only available in Spanish and Argentine insurance will not pay claims unless the driver has an Argentine driver's licence. Getting the licence itself requires...

It would be interesting to know if prepaid medical coverage is included as part of the compensation of the employmemt and if there is any choice regarding the provider. If there is no choice, perhaps members covered by the same provider (if Candz can be specific regarding which one) will...
