Where is the cheapest place to buy quinoa? I have heard Barrio Chino. I am going to buy several kilos, so if you know anywhere that sells it in bulk for cheap, that would be best. Thanks.

Hola Gang, I have a tricky one on my hands. The owner of the apartment I rent wanted to install aire. She bought the unit at Fravega and it arrived. She arranged with the portero of the building to use his friend to install the aire. We talked with a few different laypeople, and all said...

Hi Gang, This post is to recommend an english to spanish translator. Her name is Josefina. In our interaction,Josefina was reliable, efficient, competent, honest and the best price I have found. Not only was her price for the job more than reasonable, she also cobbled together 2 documents...

Given the situation you have described, it would be suggested that the idea of procuring residencia rentista is discarded. I am at the end of that process, and while my situation legitimately complies with the requirements, it has not been easy to provide sufficient proof and documentation.

I have a very specific question. I am pursuing the residencia rentista. Some of you have been following my saga. I got an income verification from my attorney, and his package included a multi-page, monthly statement from my brokerage account. The attorny got the whole enchilada notarized...

Yeah. There is a great consultant named SteveinBsAs. He doesn't charge much and he has accurate answers for all your questions.

I second what Steve wrote about using an attorney. I can only speak for myself and the offer I received. I have no opinion on other's choices. But the attorney I visited quoted me $1,500 for the first year, then $750 for years 2 and 3, for a total of $3,000. Of course, paid out over 2 years...

I am at the end of this process. I just visited Migraciones and was told I only need one more document. In my experience, the formal arrangement of the money is irrelevant. But proof is required. I brought in a set of financial statements that clearly show I meet the threshold. And I...

To clarify for foristas. I received numerous suggestions to have as much translation done in the US, instead of the more costly and time consuming translation here in Argentina. During my visit to Migraciones today, I was informed that such foreign translations are invalid. Any document that...

This morning I went to Migraciones with my disparate paperwork. I have good news and a challenge. Migraciones was efficient and friendly. I checked in and went to Building 6 and was seen by Federico. He went through the paperwork, got to the brokerage letter and took it to his supervisor...

Hola Gang, I searched around and found an excellent official translator. She charged half of what the others wanted. She works out of Recoleta -- Talcahuano y Paraguay to be exact. She got the work done in 3 days (the others said it would be a matter of weeks). And she delivered it to me...

I have a TP-Link 300 Mbps wireless N router. Is this considered a "good wireless router?"

Brokerage said "no go" on the second proposal when combined with the ultimatum. It was a light ultimatum. Such practices are never the best way. But the brokerage has its hands tied. It cannot be done. Given the time it would take to implement Steve's suggestion, I am going to wing it for my...

Both very good points, Steve. I am not sure what you did before you became an informal argentine legal expert, but you were surely accomplished at it. Diplomacy and caution are always advisable in such matters.

Broker said no go. He said call headquarters again and restate your case. That is a good suggestion Steve. I may go that route, although the time lapse could create an issue. But Steve's suggestion prompted an idea. The last thing the brokerage wants is to lose an account. So while Steve's...

Just because a plan is brilliant does not mean it can be implremented. The CPA has denied my request for a verification letter, notary and apostille. He cited professional liability issues and insurance coverage. Understandable. My next step will be to turn back to the broker. I will give...

That's a brilliant plan Steve. I put it into motion as soon as I read it. I contacted the CPA, who is in California. And he will surely write me the letter. I asked him to get it notarized and apostilled. But even if he won't do the footwork, I can easily find someone in CA who will. So...

Given what jantango and steve wrote, my plan may not work. The plan was the following: My brokerage has a branch office in San Diego, CA, which is where I am from. There is a rep that I know in that office. I was going to email him the pdf of the brokerage letter. I was going to ask him to...

So the brokerage does not have an in-house notary and they will not send the brokerage letter on to be apostilled. I have an original, signed copy of the brokerage letter being sent immediately to a friend in Connecticut, who will be in BA 7/14. I wonder if I need the original brokerage...
