I think nowadays the chances are far higher that your cheese will get stolen by baggage handlers than confiscated at the customs. Happened to a friend of mine last year who lost a couple of those, the cheese probably ended up in a sandwich de miga somewhere in the conurbano. On a side note: I...

I don't think this list is correct / accurate: It says that dairy products are prohibited. I am not sure whether this list is over simplified or outdated. If you go to the official site (https://www.argentina.gob.ar/senasa/informacion-al-viajero/ingresar-o-regresar-al-pais), it clearly says...

I dont think thats true, pasteurized cheese is allowed. I bring here a lot of raclette on every trip to Argentina. Based on my experience, there is probably a 10% chance that you will have to open the baggage because the scanner highlights that at customs. (Based on my 20 or so trips to...

Thank you for your explanation. I must say it is a complicated for someone that is not native in english to follow all this. I always though gerry mandering was to change the boundaries of an electoral disctrict in order to get a majority. But in this case it seems to be a lot trickier as it was...

Interesting. How and when did this gerry mandering of CABA happen? As far as I know the city limits are Rio de la Plata, General Paz and Riachuelo. The General Paz was established as the border between province and city well before Perón was even born. And when I look at the city map in the...

Argentina neutral? Remember when Argentina joined valiantly the Allied forces and declared war on Germany Japan in March 1945??

I might add: once i bought a ticket for a river game via viagogo.com. As you pay with a foreign credit card, you also have some protection (against fake tickets, or in case the game gets cancelled). But also this option requires some minimum level of familiarity with the local football scene.

Your best chance is probably to go with a specialized agent. I already went twice with the following company: https://landingpadba.com/ They are not cheap (probably around 150 usd for a ticket incl transport and pizza eating …), but they are reliable and trustworthy Organizing tickets on your...

1500-2000 usd should be more than ok. You will find easily a good airbnb for 500 a month, and then 30 usd per day is more than doable.

What also lessened the seriousness of the agency was the lady in charge of the organization, who kept her domestic employee in slave like conditions (en negro, at a ridiculous “salary”, if you can call that a salary) When she finally wanted to get her employee clean (with a work contract), she...

If San Temo is an option for you, and you like the apartment, send me a msg. Would be - situation now - available as of end of Jan.

Not necessarily. I had my apartment listed on Argenprop. I was then contacted by a real estate agency who asked me whether they can list my apartment in their agency. I don’t have any contractual relationship with them. If they would have someone interested, they get in touch with me. The fee...

The bad thing about Argentina is that a lot of the professionals are poorly qualified and lazy. Even if you are prepared to pay well, it is often quite difficult to find someone good at their job. But this is also the good thing: if you are willing to provide good work you will have a lot of...

It is a governmental issue, but not a political one?!?? I think one month more, and Milei will be held responsible for every misfortune on this planet.

Hahahaaaa…. I hear the mosquitoes bite predominantly Peronists. Knowing Milei, i think it is only a matter of time until the locusts come to Argentina

Why not make a huge investment in arts and culture, employ 2 million people, which creates an additional 4 million jobs, and voila, the problem is solved for Argentina. However, it is really hard to see how the 108 employees the INCAA took on the payroll 5 (!) days after Milei won in the PASO...

I have an albañil with whom i am normally working to do stuff. He is basically an albañil (constructing stuff), but he is also doing whatever else there is (painting, gardening etc). I also recommended him to other members here on the forum. He is trustworthy. PM me if interested and i will...

P12 is critical towards Macri? This is what objective, critical journalism is all about, isn’t it? By the looks of it, Riquelme has the support of the Campora, Rafael de Zeo and other prominent figures of the current government. What could possibly go wrong? As far as I am concerned, and as a...

i am checking a few options to book club med in brasil now. i have a price now in ARS which is considerably lower than booking from Europe or the US. However, it says that taxes are not included. When i pay with a European credit card, will these taxes be charged?

You don't need a DNI to buy property. You only need to a tax number which you can get as a normal tourist. (I bought a property the same way) Normally you can't open a bank account as a non-resident though. However, there are companies specializing in that (see other posts here). Just calculate...
