A question for the gun experts ... I am looking for a gun for self defense (for use inside the house). At the local gun shop they recommended the Bersa Thunder 380 Plus: http://www.bersa.com.ar/pistola-bersa-thunder-380-plus.html I am not familiar with Argentinian made guns. Is the Bersa brand...

I would explain the situation when entering Argentina with all the paperwork to proof your situation. Also you mention that extending your precaria online did not work. Did you get some kind of error message or anything? Then I would take a printout of that error page with you.

Aloe vera - the more natural the better. The aloe vera products sold in many supermarkets unfortunately only have a litte aloe vera in it - try to get 99% aloe vera content or more. Also the aloe vera gel/liquid has no color. So if the bottle or tube has some green liquid or gel in it - then it...

Anyone in Mendoza watching the Patriots win?

I had seen those kind of shows where people leave their home country and move abroad in Europe. Believe it or not - seeing those episodes where a lot things went wrong were way more entertaining than the success stories. So what you describe could actually result in (a) quite entertaining TV...

This is an issue in many countries where the IT wages are significantly lower than in the US. See Mexico, India etc. There are other factors involved but it is tempting if you can multiply your salary by 3,4,5 etc. just by moving to the US.

Your work was very helpful for my residency application. I used it as a starting point. Thank you for posting this here! I have one comment re: Marriage to a permanent resident or citizen does not lead directly to permanent residence without precaria. You still get your precaria residence...

Here in the west they call them camote.

That could be the reason. Also somebody wrote that migraciones has different priorities for processing the residencies (temporary vs. permanent) . Not sure if that is also the case for the DNI printing process. That could also be a reason why your DNI has not been printed, yet. Just a guess ...

Have you ever taken any Spanish courses?

Quick update from here. My DNI has recently arrived. The timeline of the process was as follows: Day 1: Application for residency at Migraciones office - issuance of residencia precaria Day 85: Approval of residency application - issuance of residencia permanente Day 105: DNI sent (with OCA) Day...

None of the mobile phone carriers seem to provide a really reliable service. From what I learned from others and my own experience it seems both Personal and Claro are a little better, especially when it comes to Internet connectivity.

Hello freelancers outside Buenos Aires. Where do you work besides your home office? I know there are several co-working spaces in the Buenos Aires metro area but what does it look like in the rest of the country? Alternatives? How to do keep in touch with fellow freelancers or avoid the...

San Rafael in indeed a nice place. You have Valle Grande (cabins, river, hiking etc.) and Las Leñas (skiing) in the area. It is a smaller city so if you into that sort of thing this might be an option. Regarding "things" not being available you can just drive up to Mendoza Capital (2-3 hour...

It is being processed/printed. So it has not been handed over to OCA or Correo Argentino (yet). In my case it took around 20 calendar days from "El DNI se encuentra en el proceso de emisión" to "El DNI fue emitido y entregado a la empresa de correo ...". The good news is that they are working...

Actually Pitipur mentioned that his temporary residency application was approved so he no longer needs precaria (extension). If you go to migraciones they give you a document stating that you have temp or permanent residency free of charge. In my case (permanent residency) the document they gave...

Yes, it is part of the initial temporary or permanent residency application, now.

Have you checked the status of your DNI printing process? http://www.mininteri...ramite-dni.php Click on the "Consulta por Boleta Prenumerada" tab and enter the number from the page that you paid the $40 pesos for the DNI with (it is under barcode in the upper left corner). Once your DNI was...

My experience is primarily from Chile and other latin american countries but not from Uruguay. The limit per day is usually set by your bank not the bank operating the ATM. Although ATM's have a per transaction limit - you can just do multiple transactions until you hit the daily limit set by...

A couple of weeks ago I checked at the Chilean border with both the Argentinian Migraciones and the Chilean PDI and both told me that once I have my DNI then I am supposed to use the DNI and not the passport when traveling to/from Chile.
