To be fair, you were following a ten year old thread and you ought to know that nothing stays the same in Argentina.

They don't stamp passports here any more, @Jan

Covered by The Register in an article today https://www.theregister.com/2024/08/01/argentina_crime_prediction/

After reading so many posts from Passport Bro's, determined to get their Argentine documents by fair means or foul, it's refreshing to see someone who's not that bothered but in fact it might be the easiest way for you all to do what you want. The children are already Argentine citizens by...

An interesting thought @Redpossum but I presumed @malandro was alluding to something much more dangerous. But hey: what does @malandro say?

Heh heh heh - I like it. If it is an attempt to subvert the article they've very cunningly camouflaged it by hiding it amongst at least four typos in that snapshot alone.

I'm a Brit but I'm probably not the right person to discuss football with (people who know me are nodding enthusiastically right now). Clubs and societies are run under different legal structures than businesses here unless they've been taken over or bought out. Think Savings and Loans/Building...

The last item on BBC Radio news magazine programme "PM" yesterday (Friday) is about the possibility of a Bank Holiday being granted if the England Men's team win the UEFA European Football Championship. The programme is here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0020y7k the segment about Bank...

It just crosses my mind that there may be no universal rule in play here. Just as banks set interest rates, credit limits etc based on what they believe they know about you, they may have an algorithm to determine how much money they are happy for any specific individual to transfer. That might...

If you haven't been to Argentina before, recently and you only want to stay until your AirBnB reservation expires there should be no problem with renewing your permission or not renewing and then paying a small penalty when you go Again, there is lots more information by following onsite search

Are you a citizen of a visa-exempt country? If not then you need to refer to the terms of your visa. For the rest of the world, the 90 day permission one will have received may be renewed one time provided one doesn't stay more than 180 days in any year. Some visitors however take a very...

There's a General Election in the UK next week. The final debate between the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition took place this past week. The final question, put by a member of the audience was, "Are you two really the best we have to run this country?" A question I think that has...

I'm guessing that, Covid or not, they were going to overstay anyway. Like many, many others I had to wait eight months before I could return home but thanks to the Argentine moratorium on visa expiry, when eventually I left it was without penalty. There were hundreds,maybe thousands of stories...

You have two irresistible forces bearing down on each other: the need to make public transport affordable to the users and the need to make it affordable to the state. All public transport that I know of in metro areas is subsidised because the economic and social benefits make it worth while...

The money changers in Brazil have each seen hundreds of thousands of new Benjamins and they know the look, the feel, the touch and even the smell of the good ones: most people in Argentina have never even seen a AR$10,000 note so how could they tell what's real?

The main thing about money is confidence. You can show a trader a bright, shiny, strange new piece of paper. You can tell them it's the new AR$10,000 note but without their regular experience of AR$10,000 notes, how do they know the one you are offering is genuine and not a fake? Better, from...

Okay @perry, I'll bite. I'm neither for nor against Milei, I'm just sitting on the sidelines and watching what happens in the world's first (I think) Libertarian, Anarcho-Capitalist state but it seems to me that just walking away, visiting your new-found high-powered world leader mates and the...

Actually, Schweppes and Canada Dry are just brand names of the company that owns them - Coca Cola. In some places, both the Schweppes and the Canada Dry branding appear on the same ginger ale label. My guess is that, like so many other things, rather than sell the same product all over the...

We do this a lot. My other half always picks the best available window seat and watches everything going on outside. I do the same but I also pay attention to the "Historias Minimas" playing out within the bus itself.

This is wonderful! A thread where I can agree wholeheartedly with everything that everyone has said before! So for me it's all these things you've all mentioned plus the small traders who make such wonderful products in their small, family owned premises. Whether it's ice cream or pasta or...
