    Problem Renewing Dni

    Did you manage to renew your DNI ? Where ? I have the same problem because I live in GBA and there are no turnos anywhere near me. I've already been turned away. I spoke to them today (again) without getting a solution. The nearest Registro Civil with a turno appears to be in Balcarce near Mar...

    Interesting Experience Going To Temaiken Zoo

    That's the whole point... so that the animals don't look like they are in a prison. Otherwise you can just visit any regular zoo if you wanted to see the animals crammed in cages. If you are really keen they have a Killer Whale in a bath tub down at San Clemente.... people take great joy...

    Bbq, Wasabi, Thai Chili And Smoked Peanuts!

    I bought a pack of the BBQ piranas a few months ago in a wine shop on Santa Rosa, Castelar. They were well strong and difficult to get through. What are the others like ?

    Holiday Nightmare With Despegar

    No, I'm not worried about having the vaccine (had it before), and would have had it at Jo'burg airport if that had that been an option. You can't just get the jab anymore when you land. Just to clarify, S. African Airlines are bumping anybody off their flights without the YF certificate and it...

    Holiday Nightmare With Despegar

    Thanks for those replies. Today I feel a little better in having recuperated a lot or deferred it for another trip. GS... we did book everything independently, but the thing about Despegar is its around 60% of the costs on flights generally. Booking through S. African airways direct is much...

    Holiday Nightmare With Despegar

    Gotta get this off my chest, and if anyone has some worthwhile or helpful comments or advice that would be great…. I am not looking for any sympathy btw. Been planning a major family trip to Africa for a few years now and thought we had finalized all of our logistics. We had already travelled...

    Renewing A Dni Para Extranjeros

    As a perm. res. living in GBA I was also going around in circles with this, because the governments web site often says no more turnos in a particular district, or excludes foreigners altogether. Today I realised that by putting a zero infront of your 8 digit DNI number which should start with...

    What To Do About A Car In Bariloche For 1-2 Years?

    Ah... there you go. You didn't mention that you are/ will be a non-resident living in Argentina in your first post.. just that you are a foreigner. I am a resident, and a foreigner. Perhaps long term vehicle hire may be your best option then.

    What To Do About A Car In Bariloche For 1-2 Years?

    >>> Is it still the case that a foreigner who owns an Argentine-registered car cannot leave Argentina? It sounds strange to me, as I am a foreigner who has owned various vehicles in Argentina and have driven to Chile, Bolivia, Brazil and Uruguay (just 1 month ago) and I've never had a problem...

    What's The Best Way To Deal With The "trapitos"

    I pay 5 - 10 or rarely 20 pesos depending on where it is, and have had a vehicle badly scratched for not paying up front. Outside BA province I would say that I'll pay on return. For football matches, that is an entirely different matter because you are dealing with barras. I negotiate what I...

    Importing Money

    Considering that you can get Dollars out of ATMs in Paraguay, like Uruguay, I'd think you should be able to get dollars no problem in Uruguay at WU. How much USD can you take from ATM'S IN Uruguay per day.... anyone ?

    Can I Buy An International Plane Ticket For An Argentine?

    you should have been able to pay with whatever means, and you shouldn't have had that problem. if you reserve it online, and then pay blue cash, then you will make a reasonable saving, say 20% although it's gone downhill recently. luckily i bought my family tix to Europe when the blue was riding...
