This refers to restrictions imposed back in December to the dólar MEP or "bolsa", which is a legal way of acquiring dollars through a transaction involving dollar-denominated securities. The government had imposed a limit a few months ago when all the different "dollars" were going up and the...

Yes, indeed, there are periods of adjustment, generally a few months, but then it's usually compensated with periods where things are again massively cheap. Devaluations here are almost never gradual - it's usually one big shock and then it's quiet for a few months or a year.

That's not how it works 😅 Inflation is in ARS only. Peso devaluation generally keeps up with inflation, so prices in USD stay constant, increase only marginally or even decrease.

Not sure if you factored this in, but the time difference with California is only 4 hours between March and November. So if your workday is 9-6 you can do 1-10pm in Argentina.

Argentine nationals don't need a tourist visa for the UK: https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/argentina/tourism

Ah, this is why I'll be forever thankful to God that us gay men were blessed with Grindr, so we don't ever have to worry about what kind of "date" people are looking for (Tinder = romantic date; Grindr = sex date). You'll find the exact same people on both apps, but the same person will block...

This is not a dating thing, you will soon find it happens in every context (friends, family, etc., even work), and you're going to have a very frustrating experience if you don't get used to it. It's sort of a like it or leave it situation - you're not gonna change it and people won't understand...

I’m really sorry this happened to you. I have a lawyer cousin who used to work in evictions and just the other day she said it’s a lot easier to pay someone to go scare the shit out of your tenants so that they will leave voluntarily.

Well there's no discount for them, really, since they earn in ARS. So people just see it as a 65% tax they have to pay on the official rate. It is still cheaper than the blue rate of course, so when peso-earning Argies travel abroad they try to pay as much as they can with their cards and keep...

If you're not an Argie tax resident, your card limits. If you're an Argie tax resident (which is not the same as having a DNI, necessarily), you need to be able to justify your level of expenditure with AFIP.

LOL how on Earth would that happen? You're not doing anything illegal.

I can see why you're surprised and how unbelievable this seems at first. I live in Europe for most of the year, and of course pay for everything with my Argie cards and thus get a 20% instant discount on everything. As others have mentioned, it was 30-35% a year and a half ago (then it was 0-2%...

I was in high school but here's what I remember ($ stands for both ARS and USD in this case): - A taxi ride from Belgrano to Recoleta: $5. - Pricy private high school: $675/month. - McDonald's ice cream cone or an alfajor: $0.25. - Subte: $0.50. - Black and white copies: $0.05/page. - Movie...

I can second this. My ex-husband entered with his permanent resident DNI after not setting foot in Argentina for 2.5 years and nobody ever asked or checked anything. This was pre-pandemic. He has now been living in Argentina with that same DNI for the past 4 years (even now that we’re divorced)...

Alternatively, you take the course at ACA. You take the exam at their premises, using the same car and on the same "road" (their practice track) where you took the course. It is very easy, there's almost not failing it. If you go with the Roca option, make sure you don't take the exam with a...

Just arrived last week. It’s back to normal with face masks, or even busier than before the pandemic actually. Restaurants are packed, some which take no reservations have 40-60 minute waitlists. I’m surprised at how many new places there are in Palermo, San Telmo and San Isidro. Most people who...

I do, but what kind of advice specifically were you looking for? What kind of business? In a nutshell, the pros are it is not a very mature market so the opportunities are endless. You don't have to come up with anything new, just replicate a product, service and/or business model from abroad...

Yeah, and also in general when you apply to become a national of a country (at least in the EU as far as I know, but every country has their own process), you have to present both your parents' birth certificates. They can then check if you're argentino de origen or not.

Not lately, but my mom was traveling with her friend pre-covid (both dual nationals), and when traveling back to the US her friend either lost her Argie passport on the way to the airport or didn't notice it had expired (can't remember). She did the pasaporte al instante and it works just as...

Sadly, it means a naturalized Argentine citizen cannot apply for Spanish citizenship after 2 years of residence in Spain. Only “argentinos de origen” (i.e. generally Argentines born in Argentina or born outside of Argentina to Argentine parents) can avail of this benefit.
