The account has a dollar account, the dollars stay in dollars. In my experience, if they're transferred to your dollar account, they're not automatically pesified.

Could be! I went a few weeks ago, and they haven't told me anything about it closing.

I didn't have a Santander account, I just got one here. I don't have the branch manager's name or contact, but I went to the location at Santa Fe 1146 in CABA.

Your mileage may vary with this, but I've found HA to be faster if I go through their "international patients" section than if I go through their regular appointment system.

I'm sure they can, but as for whether it's complicated, you might want to contact the office and ask them. I haven't tried.

The shipment came through DHL, so DHL contacted me to give me instructions when the package was about to arrive in Argentina. I had to do it before the package could be released for pick-up -- I didn't have it shipped to my house, just to the DHL office, but that was just a personal preference...

^ This is also my understanding. I ordered two books from US Amazon a few months ago and was surprised at how quickly and easily they got here. I did have to do a bit of AFIP paperwork, but it wasn't hard. However, it really only felt affordable because I had some credit card points and a gift...

Welcome! I worked with Celano, and they helped us a lot. They can be a little busy, though, which is my only caveat about working with them. https://www.celano.com.ar/es/

I've only been able to top-up at kioscos, the stations don't seem to be charging right now. Also, I was able to register my Sube in about 5 minutes at the Comuna 2 office in Recoleta Urban Mall, with a previously scheduled appointment. I had terrible luck with the online systems for registration.

It sounds like you can come through rentista if your company earns you more than the minimum income. I did something similar, just a US-based company.

Seconding this point -- we got a "one year contract" by agreeing with our landlord to a series of four three-month contracts. We pay all of each three-month contract's rent up-front in USD, so our landlord doesn't have risk on that end, and it's allowed us to have a longer-term place for a...

I'm a big fan of Gordo Vegano in Belgrano -- great sandwiches and postres (try the pie de limón, for sure), their beer and soda/seltzer selection are good, too!

Do you know if they're following the turno system at all? Either at Retiro or Recoleta? Asking because I have one scheduled tomorrow at Recoleta that I can't go to anymore, but I'm trying to decide if I can realistically go early or go another day. If I could cancel the turno I would, in order...

I saw Alejandra Anabel Panizzardi at Hospital Alemán, her English is good. As a non-member of the Hospital with no insurance, the initial appointment was AR$15.000 in November 2023. Your costs for labs or meds will obviously depend on the condition, my total cost for my particular situation...

Glasses are relatively cheap here compared to the US -- mine were less than $100 with frames, if I remember correctly, though certainly you could pay more if you wanted fancier frames, coatings, etc. Replacing the lenses in a pair of Rx sunglasses I already had cost about $30. You have to get a...

I typically keep an eye on the newspaper, but also the Celano law firm's instagram posts it. It's the labor ministry that changes it, not Migraciones, if I understand correctly. I don't know that they've decided the amounts for 2024 yet (see below), but I assume I'll send the same amount as last...

I always extract the money in dollars, but I pay rent in dollars so I don't need them to be pesos. I haven't gone through the process of pesifying at the bank, so I don't know anything about converting it there.

If you end up wanting something different than your ML tutor, I study here and can recommend it. The price varies depending on how many classes you pay for at once: https://spanishinclusiveworld.com/

That's what I'm currently doing, and is my understanding of the correct (current) process per my attorney.
