I am, along with several other members.

I know I say this annually whenever we talk about these "factories" in TDF, but I have no sympathy for the Caputos, only the workers. These are basically, as I have said previously, the IKEAification of Samsung phones. All the parts are made in Vietnam or China or Korea, and they are sent to...

Yeah, they're lying to you. Glad to see that incompetence persists post-Alberto. You're supposed to take exams to work in the foreign service here, but immigration law is one of the areas the consulate employees are least competent in. Anyways, I think Ronnie is the only person I've (digitally)...

Your best approach is to simply enter Argentina as a tourist on your Dutch passport, and while here, schedule a turno with migraciones, via Radex, to do the procedure to get a DNI. I don't know why the consulate is even bothering, they must be bored/looking to justify their jobs because normally...

I'd like a PH in CABA (so we could have a pool and parilla, plus I really don't like gated communities/HOAs), but we can't afford it, and the most accessible option ironically ended up being a pre-development in a barrio privado in GBA. It has let us pay lump sums over several months when we...

That sounds like Argentina to a T; de jure v.s. de facto

Coincidentally enough, Argentina's elections are the only ones I vote in these days despite being able to vote in the US and Canada. One of the main reasons I'm naturalizing is to be able to vote here for president (or more likely, en blanco) but at least candidates run here that I can tolerate.

Article in Spanish, but it looks like government is expecting there to be brown and blackouts again this summer. Despite Milei thinking climate change is a communist hoax, I guess it's good that they're letting people know in advance that things are expected to be bad in January and February...

Exactly what I was gonna say Rich; people are name dropping the richest neighborhoods in the country and wondering why restaurants there are full; same reason people rob banks, it's where the money is (and in the case of Palermo and Recoleta, tourists too). I live downtown and restaurants are...

I think people overestimate both how competent Migraciones is, and how many resources they have/desire to do a thorough job. They literally gave PR status to, and eventually helped 2 Russian spies obtain citizenship with that couple and their kids in Slovakia or Slovenia IIRC; they aren't...

Thank you all for your feedback!

How big are we talking? You can send smaller sized things via Cabify, I've done it, but like, large items it's probably best to go with Via Cargo, I've had okay experiences with them.

I finally have some updates: After starting the process in 2021, I will naturalize almost 3 years to the day later, and my juramento is scheduled soon. I did the process myself, no intervention from third parties, but you could probably shave a 6-8 months off if you didn't get COVID twice...

The beatings will continue until morale improves

IIRC you're supposed to include a background check for each country you've lived in for like 6 months or more in the last 3 years (don't quote me), but I also know they only generally care about your country of birth, even if you haven't lived there in years. I remember this being a thing for...

Seeing Milei celebrate and call a guy from the IMF a commie was, well, another demonstration of Milei's economic literacy and intelligence let's say...

I've been once when my MIL had an appointment at Hospital Aleman. It was fine IMO, she liked it, though nobody got pancakes.

Ignoring all the other points that are debatable themselves, this here is one of many reasons why it's hard to take defenses of Milei seriously: who raised the impuesto pais in the first place?

I don't know anyone who has been successfully targeted by the black widow scam, but I've noticed reports of it increasing, and Jan's post from the Embassy suggests that it's not just empirical accounts either. The targets of scams seem to all be the same: young, single, males thinking with the...

Milei supporters are the kind of people I expect to find this news, and confirms my point that they are either trolling, believe this in bad faith, or don't know what socialism is as Argentina has never had a socialist president, and while this shouldn't be news, for those confused, we have had...
