apparently $100 is an incredible cost to pay for something you use for decades, and also you're not allowed to care about poor people if you have a $100 thermos. the second that you make any money, you are legally obligated to become a ruthless capitalist who doesn't give a shit about anyone...

There are very good obras sociales, private healthcare is better overall not in quality of actual care but rather in customer service and wait times. It's up to you if paying extra to see a doctor a few days earlier or to have to talk to fewer people to make an appointment is worth the extra...

Most cities where? Practically every big European city has far more social services than any US city.

There are tons of apartments on airbnb

literally have never had a cueva not be honest and simply go with the blue rate published in that day's newspapers. they want dollars, supply is limited, this not only doesn't happen but makes no sense.

Small businesses are much more likely to exploit desperate people who are willing to accept violations of labour laws, of which immigrants are more likely to be. This is not because chains are more moral but rather because they are far more likely to be audited/inspected on a systemic level and...

You can apply for any visa from within Argentina. Any. Student visas included EXCEPT exchange student visas. You can enter on a tourist visa and sort this out from within the country, 100 million times easier. Fly to Argentina anyway, enter as a tourist, upgrade to a student visa once inside the...

I can confirm that THEY CAN FIND YOUR CUIT/CUIL even if you send it to your passport number. When I pick up with my passport, it automatically associates with my CUIL, which is listed on the receipt, even though I never gave it to Western Union. Your passport number is clearly (behind the...

Western Union will automatically associate your withdrawals with your CUIL/CUIT if you receive it in your own name. Your best bet would be to send it as a gift to someone other than yourself. It's unlikely you get in any trouble for sending it to yourself directly, but if you send it to someone...

He's right about that, Argentina does not have any laws rendering people automatically 'illegal'. Only when a deportation order is issued, which does not happen automatically but only if you commit a crime, does your presence become illegal.

https://www.pagina12.com.ar/378032-el-banco-central-habilita-cuentas-de-ahorro-para-turistas-ex Tourists and other non-resident foreigners can now open a special bank account. It gives a local debit card and you can only deposit money in dollars from a foreign account or in cash. You get a...

Locals earn in pesos, there is no reason for them to buy dollar blue here, they would buy Uruguayan pesos or US dollars in Uruguay with their ARS at the official rate then use their card here for a 21% discount over what they would be paying with a local card.

Sounds like something that will just encourage locals to hop over to Uruguay and get a foreign card...

I wouldn't listen to any internet blog on this. 10% is normal, or just whatever change is left on the bill if it's not a huge order. No one ever cares. It is not obligatory here like in the US, business cannot legally pay less and cover it with tips like they can there. Tip more if you want (I...

Very few places take crypto and those that do immediately convert it to dollars at the official rate and price things at the official rate. When you pay with crypto usually you aren't actually paying with it, you are selling it for fiat currency in exchange for what you're buying. It's really...

Here is what you have to do as a tourist. If you don't do this, you will pay almost double for everything: SEND YOURSELF CASH VIA WESTERN UNION. Pick it up at any of the many Western Union pick up points, showing your passport. DONE. OR Bring PHYSICAL DOLLARS and swap them at black market...

The difference is that 'Certificado' is a temporary document, only given to parents at the moment of birth. 'Acta', also called 'partida', is the actual registry in the governent's records. I don't think it's possible to even get a copy of the 'certificado' so don't worry about that. Any...

No age requirements You get the apostille individually from each relevant country. For Peru and Argentina, you will need to book an appointment for it at their respective consulates in your country/area. Death certificate should not be needed. 'Long form' I'm not sure what that means

You also have your physical card no?
