Yeah, it's unbelievable. We started compiling our paperwork months ago and then something that was only supposed to take 90 days (getting our Argentine marriage certificate deposited in the UK) took 6 months...due to the UK authorities taking their sweet time. Apparently, the changes were...

well this is where it gets really ridiculous. You can only use this route if you've been living in another EU nation. It would also enable another EU national to bring their Argentine spouse into the UK far easier than a UK national!

The problem is that when the couple has been residing abroad together the minimum income thresholds only apply to the applicant's partner! (so the UK citizen part of the couple!). The partner must have earned £18,600 in the past 12 months (which, if living and earning pesos in Argentina is a...

Has anyone else been completely knocked sideways by the sudden changes in UK family visa rules? We were literally days away from submitting our application before the new rulings came into effect on the 9th of July. The changes make it nigh-on impossible for couples where a partner is from...

This is a viable option if you can find an atm in Uruguay that operates with US$...I'm sure there is one. But you will have to pay 200/300 pesos for the trip over each month + whatever you end up spending over there. I agree with the posters that your priority should be to find an apartment...

Thank you so much for stopping by... And yes, it is July! (won't let me edit...unfortunately). Anyone else that would like to come along, we'll be in Plaza Francia again tomorrow from 11am until 5pm! xx

For those of you sick to your back teeth at not being able to find clothes to fit in Argentina... (and those of you that sympathise with our plight!), AnyBody Argentina will be in Plaza Francia (by the church) with the interactive art installation, (the Model Metre) and a petition calling for an...

I'm pretty sure the same rule applies for any foreign currency. If you are here with a work visa, you should be able to go to afip and get permission to exchange a limited amount of pesos for your trip. If not, you can either use a credit card over there or take money out of an atm from your...

I think the dollar reason is a pretty darn good one to leave, to be honest. There are still a lot of expats here earning in pesos...the gradual devaluation of this currency and the constant reduction in spending power can be incredibly crippling. Not to mention the fact that if your only source...

That's so wonderful that you feed several other dogs French jurist. Both of our cats were picked up from the street (one as an adult and one as a kitten) and it really pains me to see the number of stray animals (some in pretty awful condition) here. For those animal lovers who are staying here...

Hi Matt Your girlfriend's visa/DNI took a couple of months (sometimes it can take a couple of months, sometimes longer) because there is an agreement between mercosur countries. There is nothing like this kind of agreement between Argentina and the UK. The only way that you can apply for a visa...

At work, we receive international transfers from clients abroad to an account Argentina and it is usually a pain in the neck to get the central bank to release these funds into the argentine account. Everytime a payment is sent, my boss has to spend hours at the bank, filling in paperwork and...

I've never tried elcontinente but we also buy our colombian coffee from a cafe in Chacarita...also on Jorge Newberry (3663). It's called Full City Coffee...and a bag of delicious coffee is 40-something pesos. The 39 also drops you off a couple of blocks away!

I don't think its the norm. I've had a couple of bad experiences; once with a within its use-by date chocolate dessert that had obviously not been refrigerated adequately and had gone off and another time with ice-lollies that had obviously been frozen then thawed, then frozen (you could tell by...

It would be great if the restaurant reviews here came with a "what to order and what to avoid at all costs" section because I find that quality of dishes varies massively at most places. For example, I went to Sugar for breakfast a few weeks ago. I ordered the waffles with maple syrup and when...

The 30 day expiry date is pretty normal here though I agree, it can leave you in a difficult spot. My old phone was a pay as you go one with no plan (ie, I had to buy however much credit I wanted from a kiosco) and this year, I noticed that the 30 day thing was reduced to 20 days (Claro). It did...

One of the main issues here is that the 2 or 3 week vacation allowance includes weekends so it actually works out at just 10 days or so per year! I wasn't aware that there was a legal vacation requirement. I always got two consecutive weeks here over the summer...which is less than half of the...

I third casa sunae. It's my favourite place to eat in Buenos Aires. I'm not a big fan of the communal table concept at most closed door places but at cocina sunae, you get a private table and it has more of a traditional restaurant layout in a nice, homey environment.

Check your battle.net profile and make sure that the region for the game is set to EN/US. My husband (who I seem to have lost since the release of this game) had the same issues and realised that his region was defaulted to Europe. If you have any more issues, his game tag is reaper#1930
