    Why does the city smell bad?

    Apparently it's coming from a soap factory in the Riachuelo area for unspecified reasons: https://www.pagina12.com.ar/186976-extrano-olor-nauseabundo-en-la-ciudad

    Please help me find answers to these questions.

    If you enrol in a master's program (which, in your situation and since you'll be looking for a job, might also be a good way to create a network), you should be able to get a student's visa and a DNI. With the DNI you'll be able to get a CUIT/CUIL and therefore to work legally. You will need to...

    AR Citizenship question

    That's a good point. I know that for example (at least up to a few years ago), the Brazilian government required 5 years of being a naturalized Argentine citizen before you could apply for residency in Brazil. However, the official information on the Spanish Ministerio de Justicia website...

    AR Citizenship question

    Actually, you can get Spanish citizenship in 2 years provided you live in Spain (legally) for 2 years as an Argentine national. You should first become an Argentine citizen, and once you do apply for a non-lucrative visa in Spain (provided you have enough cash saved up so as to prove you won't...

    How to use Bitcoin to exchange Pesos at the Blue Dollar Rate

    You don't even have to go that far. If you had invested $25,000 on Ether in January 2017 and sold 5 months later in June, you'd also be sitting on $1M. :D

    Has Anyone Had Experience Paying Tefl Via Western Union

    Don't do it, and find another school. I used to work in the educational tourism industry in Buenos Aires a few years ago. Ibero was the black sheep of the market. Aside from the most common complaints (lots of bait-and-switching their clients, lack of standards, etc.), what they mostly became...

    You and/or your maid will need to go to your bank and request a free "Cuenta sueldo" para personal doméstico. There are no charges for you or your maid, but not all banks offer the option: http://tn.com.ar/economia/como-depositar-el-sueldo-de-la-empleada-domestica-en-una-cuenta-bancaria_768458...

    Posgrado En La Uba - Help Please

    Someone else who has gone through the process might be able to help more, but as far as I know I don't think you need to apply for posgrados at UBA. You just sign up, submit all the required documentation for review, pay up, and that's it. Unless there's a problem with your documentation, I...

    It's Too Expensive Here!

    I don't think we had Yankee prices back then, it was still quite cheap compared to first-world cities. Below are some of the prices that I can recall from the 1990s. I'm just curious, how much do all these things cost today? (I haven't been to Argentina in 6 months): - A taxi ride from Belgrano...

    Attention Old People :> 60 Yo

    Oh yes, and you also have a special waitlist at restaurants if ANYONE in your party is 60 or older. Also, this might actually come in handy for the BA expat crowd: if you are traveling with a Brazilian airline (TAM, Gol, etc.) they will let you cut to the front of the line at Ezeiza or...

    Argentine-Born Us Citizen W/ Us Passport To Travel: 90 Days?

    This is actually not a minor hassle. My mom is in the exact same situation: Argentine-born US citizen and her US passport says one name, her Argentine passport says another name. She always travels to Argentina with: her US passport, her Argentinean passport, AND her marriage certificate. Bring...

    Hosting A Website ( Who ?)

    Stay away from El Server. Also, why would you want to host your website with an Argentina-based hosting company? Most companies host with US-based companies as they are more reliable and have better customer service.

    Is It Finally Possible To Be A Legal Freelancer?

    Indeed, but: "Según explicaron en el BCRA, quienes traigan dólares (declarados) del exterior ya no tienen la obligación de pesificarlos localmente, a no ser que se trate de una operación de comercio exterior. Pero no sería el caso de quien repatríe dólares para una operación inmobiliaria, para...

    Is It Finally Possible To Be A Legal Freelancer?

    Although it's true that the new government is interested in seeing outside money flow in, things don't change that fast. The only way for you to be paid in dollars and get dollars is by getting paid abroad. If you get paid in a bank account in Argentina, your bank will convert it to pesos (even...

    Occasional Work

    There used to be something called "monotributo eventual" which was precisely for cases like yours. But they got rid of it during the last monotributo reform. So yeah, you would need to register and pay at least the minimum tax on a monthly basis. Can't you just do it under the table, or ask...

    Searching For An Internship In Buenos Aires!

    Internships are very common in Argentina, especially in large multinationals. They are called pasantías or most recently "programa de jóvenes profesionales" (the latter are generally paid). It's very common to start out as an intern and then get a job offer if they want to keep you - my sister...

    Citizenship Through Marriage?

    Getting married will give you permanent residency and you'll be able to stay forever, leaving and coming back as many times and/or for as long as you want. Citizenship is a completely different thing and it will take a few years - why do you want to get it?
