    Planning to move to Argentina, but need visa

    It was recently posted that of you are not from a "visa free" country and must apply for a tourist visa in your home country prior to your arrival, you will not be able to apply for residency from within Argentina. $30.000 pesos per month is an obsole figure. Search the words "visa rentista"...

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    Depending on the individual expat's desired lifestyle, the average monthly Social Security benefit of about $1,900 USD could be a relatively great "deal" here, especially if the expat had no desire to travel abroad and stay in nice hotels and enjoy fine dining As I posted recently, for the...

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    Expats can "opt out" of this if desired, and, as no medical services performed outside of the USA are covered by Medicare, most US expats do not have this deduction from their monthly benefit.

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    The page in the link would not load, so I have not read it. While the national average for all individuals recieving Social Security benefits would change monthly as some would start recieving benefits for the first time and benefits for others would end, with rare excepions, on an individual...

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    A 2.5% increase would provide the previously mentioned additional $25USD to a monthly Social Security income of $1000.

    Overstaying - Entry to Argentina nearly denied

    Yes it is. Fortunately, the member of the forum known as Bajo_cero2 often provides useful answers here in response to questions regarding the 90 day prorroga issued at the office of migraciones, visa runs, and overstaying the 90 day tourist permit. Perhaps he will also comment here regarding...

    Price of meat will skyrocket

    Two weeks ago the retail price of roast beef in the supermarket in Punta Alta was $8190 per kilo. Last week it was $7190. This morning the price per kilo was $5990 and during this time period, there haven't been any signs in the meat case indicating that these were special prices, though...

    Question for those who have purchased real estate!

    I paid the agent's commission for the first apartment I bought at the escritura. I reserved the apartment with a deposit of $1000USD. There was no pressure to pay the commission before the escritura. There was no boleta, either. The apartment was vacant and we had the escritura (with ""llaves...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    PS: I eat all of the meat as well as the fat. Eating only eggs (four or five for breakfast and the same for lunch) and 500 grams of beef for dinner has had a surprising result: I am never hungry when I get up in the morning and I never have the desire to snack or eat anything between meals or...

    Liability Insurance Options for U.S. Car Rental

    The link I provided was at the top of the Google results when I searched for "additional liability insurance coverage for car rental." Perhaps it appeared at the top because the insurer paid for it to appear there. Scrolling down the list in the same search, I found this...

    Liability Insurance Options for U.S. Car Rental

    Based on my own experiene, all US car rentals always include liability insurance and it is not optional. Unless something has changed, collision insurance is optional but is usually provided by the credit card company, at least when a US issued card is used to pay. I don't think having a...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    The fruits and vegetables in Villa Arias are not very good and get even worse the day after they are delivered because they cannot be kept cool enough by any of thevendors. The vegetables in the supermarkets in Punta Alta usually look great because they, as well as some of the fruits, are kept...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    My "local" carnicero operates his shop in the residential zone one km from my house. There is no sign or anything written on the front of the building that indicates the business is located there and there are no other businesses in the same block. Occasionally he doesn't have a huge...
