Answered privately, but here you go. It's More Money Transfers that handles transfers initiated by Ria. Redpagos and others are members of the More network. You provide the confirmation and PIN....they will have no idea what Ria is.

Thanks for the heads up. I'd love to take the early trip, but I have an appt that morning that I can't move. Fortunately, I should have time. I will bring my patience. :)

Anyone doing banking with Banco Republica in Colonia? My main branch is in Montevideo, but it's clearly easier to go to Colonia. I even called BROU to confirm no paros/feriados that day and the things I need to accomplish at the branch. I got their blessing. Hopefully it works. The same day...

Yes. Crisp 100s.

I used Ria. I sent to a friend at 1030pm. He picked up at 915 the next morning a block from his hotel. USD5. I did USD2500. Could have done up to USD2999. This was two weeks ago.

And it's back. RNR did not use our envelope and still sent 2-day mail with Correo Argentino. They turned it around on the day that it arrived. The certificate is stamped and signed. It states that it can be apostilled at the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores. Comercio Internacional y...

Just in case someone finds this thread 5 years from now.... We sent it with Correo Argentino certified with a return prepaid envelope and instructions for RNR to use the prepaid envelope. We'll see how long it takes (and if they use it). Correo Argentino seems to hold our mail and deliver in...

Ok. RNR emailed more complete info. They will sign, seal and deliver the digital certificate to the return address at no charge via Correo Argentino. The delay is effectively the length of time that the mail takes round trip. They complete upon receipt (in theory). Once we have it back, we...

Update: RNR successfully processed. Now to get the Apostille. Note: If you have had multiple IDs in Argentina. Show them and have them scan all to ensure your request is not rejected. Last year I requested this. They only asked for my DNI. This would have been fine, but I had previously...

Cordoba is +54 9351 123-4567. Whether it works for Skype...I suppose it should. I had done, but was a few years ago. Thank you WhatsApp. (It does work from Google Voice/Hangouts with that format)

I don't believe this has been covered before. I just requested CERTIFICADO DIGITAL DE ANTECEDENTES PENALES from RNR Reincidencia in Córdoba. We need it apostilled as it will be used with the Dutch Embassy. We were instructed to: 1. Download the digital certificate (This should be ready...

Yes (if one can take any stock in the ranking methodology). It ranks well against highly regarded public research universities in the US. And by some measures as well as Ivy League. So for a free public institution against the world's universities. Yeah, pretty well.

I always take these with the grain of salt, but UBA does pretty well. ALL http://www.topuniversities.com/universities/universidad-de-buenos-aires-uba#wur UBA...

How about agar agar to stabilize? (a vegetable gelatin) We've used in place of other stabilizers, thickeners. (But I have no idea if it would well work in this application).

The Al Jazeera story really does sum it up well. A great coffee culture lacking great coffee. Keep hope alive that it's changing. I would love some independent operations with great coffee. In terms of Starbucks. I have never tried a foo foo drink. I order a 5 shot Venti (large) Americano...

Fingerprints can be done at the Central Police in Cordoba...You would do two or three FBI fingerprint cards (just in case of bad prints) and send the the US. The US Embassy is not involved in the process whatsoever. Temporary visa qualification is problematic if you don't fit a certain box...

It's not bad, just takes some time. It took me more time to write about the process than actually do the process. Residency took us 3 1/2 hours for three people here in Cordoba. Once you're married--it's really quite straightforward. You just need to get on ordering your FBI background check...

My wife and I did both. First permanent residency and then citizenship. If you want to skip the residency part--hire Bajo_cero2 You will see his name throughout the forum. If you want to follow my process. Read here http://baexpats.org/topic/28102-ciudadania-citizenship/ I documented...

I did it with Ria as a cash pick-up at a Redpagos/MORE Money location a block from my friends hotel. I initiated the transfer last night at 1030pm. It said it was "Ready for pick-up" immediately and he picked up at 915hs this morning. Total cost USD$5. Xoom would have been more than USD60 for...

You could try to buy at an Aerolineas office. Have them note something in your reservation and on paper...preferably their stamp/sello. You are right to be concerned that the call center would provide incorrect information. The people at the gatekeepers as you rightly note. Before I 'got...
