    Western Union money transfer

    Open the Google Play Store. Go to Settings > General > Account and Device Preferences > Country and profiles. There, you will see the country associated with your Google account.

    Western Union money transfer

    Have you added your US card under "Payment methods" for this account? It's better to have two separate accounts, one for each country, and switch between them as needed. Make sure not to mention addresses, cards, or any other details from another country in your Argentinean account.

    Anyone missed the police visit for the certificado de domicilio?

    They're supposed to verify where you live - that’s the whole point of the certificate. Otherwise, someone could easily get a certificate saying he lives in 'Casa Rosada,' for example, or in some other arbitrary place of his choice.

    Liability Insurance Options for U.S. Car Rental

    This is NOT liability insurance. It's more like an alternative to CDW. I believe that in states where carrying liability insurance is required by law, the minimum required coverage is included in the rental price.Rental companies cannot operate otherwise.

    Dolar Turista vs Blue

    Not necessarily abroad. Essentially, if the seller accepts dollars but you're paying with an Argentinian credit card in pesos, you'll be charged the 'Dólar Turista' rate of 1,620 pesos per dollar spent.

    Messengers and social networks

    In countries that have experienced heavy internet censorship, Telegram is more popular since it has built-in features to overcome restrictions or blocks. In many places, it has become mainstream and is even more popular than WhatsApp here. For example, a newspaper's Telegram channel can have...

    President Milei Slows Inflation to 2021 Levels in Major Win for Argentine People

    So, inflation back in 2021 was considered acceptable? Why didn’t anyone praise Alberto for that?

    Phone advice?

    Do you have someone to call somebody from the airport? All three companies offer one-month plans for tourists. It's easier to stop by a phone carrier's office when you're in the city. You will need your passport, and sometimes they insist on a credit card. Claro if you want cheap add-on...

    SIM Card shows no signal

    Can you find somebody with a working phone and check two things: whether your SIM card works in his/her phone, and whether his/her SIM card works in your phone. This may give you a pretty good idea of what's going on.

    The dreaded 90 day closure letter

    Is Merrill Lynch the only game in town? Have you considered transferring your IRA assets to another provider that doesn't ask for utility bills? And you overrate the VPN issue. They can still see that you're coming from a VPN provider, even if your IP address resolves to the US. FATCA does not...

    How an Argentine Can Get a Bank Account in the USA

    In some places, like Miami or New York, people know which branch to go to and which customer service person to speak with to get an account opened. You can find this information in specialized forums or channels (but not here). I think everywhere else, it's pretty much impossible.

    Shipping prescription medicine

    Unless it is something highly controlled, it would be easier to buy it here. And if it is highly controlled, it will not get through customs. It's likely that if she goes to a smaller pharmacy and explains what she wants in a cohesive manner, they will sell it to her if they don't think she...

    Does anyone know if critical care insurance is available in Argentina?

    Well, the cheapest plans have co-payments for doctor visits. You could try to talk them into increasing these co-payments to an absurd amount in hopes of getting a discount from the insurance company. However, I don't think it makes sense. I think 'emergency care' plans just resell public...
