    CEPO is lifted

    Same thing happened about 9 months ago when prices started to really go nuts, supermarkets said they’d fight it. After a month slowly the price increases get quietly accepted and happen anyway … it makes for a great headline for the supermarkets but don’t count on it following through

    Poverty fell in the first year of Milei

    Yeah sure but nobody pays such rates for a full time job, at $20 an hour that would be $3200 a month

    Poverty fell in the first year of Milei

    I disagree. When I came here just 2.5 years ago, I hired a young single guy freelance hourly for random things I needed. I was paying $10 an hour adjusted weekly with the blue and he was beyond thrilled - he was making more than all his friends. 6 months ago, I was already raising him to $18 an...

    Coffee and cake prices

    My favorite coffee shop finally went up from 4000 to 4400 pesos for a latte (other shops in the area went up a few weeks ago). The prices keep climbing …..

    Horseback riding?

    If they just want to ride and don’t need a trail, there are schools to ride at here in the center of the city - Escuela Hipocampo, Club Aleman, etc. They might also be interested in watching a race at the Hipodromo.

    Receiving payment in USDT monotributo?

    If the client isn’t from here, you can receive it with a non-Arg wallet and cash it out at a cueva… 🤷🏼

    Is the Overstay Fine Payable at Aeroparque Jorge Newberry?

    I eat my words. Went today. Waiting over an hour already, only five people ahead of me but the line doesn’t move at all, and there twenty people behind me. One person working. Total mess.

    Question re: entry to Buenos Aires with 1 way ticket from US

    As others have said, depends on the airline. American Airlines couldn’t care less. Avianca and other latam-based airlines make a fuss about it even if your husband has citizenship. Migraciones doesn’t care.

    Sending money to the U.S.

    The only way to do without fees is with a friend. I do this for my Argentinian friends when I need cash here, as it works for both of us.

    Permanently overstaying

    Been here two years now, no problems. Will get a DNI anyway but I’ve had no issues so far. So much so that I’m starting to wonder if the computers at migraciones on arrivals even show them your past stays when they scan your passport.

    Is the Overstay Fine Payable at Aeroparque Jorge Newberry?

    I wonder if you went to a different Migraciones office there, I’ve never seen anyone else there at all. Where was the office?

    Argentina’s Javier Milei has made a horrible mistake

    "He is now trapped. Either he […] or he lets the peso find its level and unleashes a fresh inflation” What’s stopping him leaving things exactly as they are? In spite of the insane prices most Argentinians aren’t complaining (beats me why) about the situation, so he has no reason to do much of...

    Argentine oil output is poised to oust Colombia from South America’s top three

    And yet gas at the pump is still really expensive

    Colonia runs as of May 2024

    Don’t do it. Migraciones doesn’t like the shtick. Better to just pay the overstay fine when you leave.

    Anyone want to split a DHL envelope from the USA for cards I am sending in a few weeks?

    What would happen if I tried sending a TV with Eurosender/DHL. The quote for shipping with Eurosender is $250. Would I get the TV?

    Amazon is coming to town...

    I need to hear this story. Cmon, storytime!! How much do you pay for Grabr typically? I fly to visit family a few times a year, maybe I should do this to offset the cost of my ticket

    Amazon is coming to town...

    Is the $3000 limit per purchase or per person per year?

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

    I’ve been thinking that since Milei devalued the peso and health premiums went through the roof. “There’s no way this can last!” Here we are, all these months later and nothing is giving at all …. Just looked up the date, it was December 13. Soon it’ll be almost a year.
