    Circulation permit to board domestic flights

    Any suggestions on getting the required circulation permit for getting on flights within ARG? If I don't get to Cordoba and help secure a vacant house for sale soon, the local punks will steal anything they can get there hands on, and damage a lot in their thievery. The purpose of the trip...

    Obtaining driver's license in CABA

    I guess I must lower my expectations. I had hoped I would have been waived out of a temp or probationary license period with over 50 years of driving. So I am inclined to get the course and exam done ASAP so I can run the clock out on the restriction on highways with higher permitted speeds...

    Obtaining driver's license in CABA

    There are threads from 2015 on getting a driver's license in CABA. Any experiences in the last year or so? Is the 40 question theoretical test a tough one? Will an academy tailor course work for foreigners with decades of safe driving abroad, but a bit challenged in castellano? Thanks

    Over 417,000 foreigners cleared to vote in City of Buenos Aires without prior registration

    Since I obtained permanent resident status last month, I thought maybe I could vote in the PASO. No such luck. The reference to foreign permanent residents being registered "automatically" is misleading, IMHO. No registration for me in the Padrón. I will check from time to time, to see if I...

    Need US legal documents, POA, notarized

    I misjudged my need for a legally valid signature on US court sourced docs, so I have not sought solutions to the post of 10 months ago. Sorry I can't be of further help.

    interval between Certificado de Residencia Precaria issuance and arrival of physical DNI

    Over 50 days have elapsed since I was able to download my Ceritificadode Residencia Precaria. The last time when I renewed my DNI, before the pandemic, I got my new card in less than a month from the issuance of the precaria. Any recent accounts of how delayed physical cards are from RNP?

    Updated COVID restrictions on circulation

    Are medical appointments at locations that are not in my neighborhood no longer permitted under the current restrictions? If I travel by taxi, do I need a formal permiso?

    Looking to invest $1 million USD in Argentina - what should I buy?

    With few exceptions, the staff at my bank really extends themselves to provide the services I need, despite my poor Spanish. They have earned the high level of respect I hold for them.

    100 Million dollar boondoggle coming down the pike. It’s pure genius.

    I don't have expertise on anti tank systems retrofits, but found this link on a deal done by Germany with the Israelis. Germany orders Israel’s Trophy active protection system for its Leopard 2 tanks (defensenews.com) . I can't defend outlays for weaponry by the Argentine government, but...

    Sending money through Uruguay

    When I had an occasion to wire in 4 figures USD, the fee charged in ARG was about USD $45. Dollars wired into the dollar account stay in dollars. Should the need arise to use pesos to pay electronically, I have to buy pesos at the rate the banks sells them at.... 76 pesos to the USD for the...

    Sending money through Uruguay

    I maintain at the same Argentine bank a peso account and a USD account. Accountant here in CABA advised that depositing pesos in efectivo was a no no. But as long as I obtain a turno, cash withdrawals in USD have not been a problem. The fees for inbound USD are not objectionable. Each...

    Need US legal documents, POA, notarized

    It seems the US Embassy under the quarantine restrictions does not offer notary services. What alternatives exist? Do I have an escribania witness my signature and leave it to the US attorney to get my signed docs apostilled? Anyone with any experience with US based online notaries...

    regular metered airmail letter from US

    for what it is worth, letter from Boca Raton FL metered with 21 April date was received here in CABA 24 August. Just an observation, not a complaint or judgement. Good to know the mail seems to be moving.

    Forgot what I need to upload into RaDeX for DNI extranjero temporario renewal

    Today I became so confused with RaDeX I lost it. It would appear that with the extensions granted due to Covid -19, RaDeX just creates dead ends. I thought my 2nd renewal of DNI under Temporaria Extranjero would be doable, as I managed last year. Not so. Is RaDeX no longer operational?

    Forgot what I need to upload into RaDeX for DNI extranjero temporario renewal

    I had an email exchange with a translator, who wrote that Colegio de Traductores is not open to legalize translations, and the date of resumption of a normal process is unknown. So I guess I will wait before I upload to RaDeX. Last year I did not need anything from the US Embassy, just the...

    CARES payments for US citizens lost cause if you are in Argentina?

    Any Yanks had any success getting a CARES payment if you match this profile: A) receive SS retirement monthly to a US bank via direct deposit B) too poor to be required to file IRS forms in both 2018 amd 2019 ? I may not have the stomach to hunt down anything stuck in the mail.

    Forgot what I need to upload into RaDeX for DNI extranjero temporario renewal

    Thanks for your help. I got my visa in the Argentine consulate in Chicago USA. They required the police check from my local Chief of Police, which I sent in 2018. For my second renewal (3rd DNI ) I hope nothing further than the Argentine visa attached to my passport will work. For my 1st...
