If you don't have a DNI and residency no landlord will enter into a standard rental agreement with you. First because they would be totally unprotected as you have no assets to attach in case of non-payment nor do you have the ability to buy "seguro de caución / seguro de garantía" from a bank...

All the best to you....lots of luck!

I think it's great that the BRICS are forming their own bank and truly hope that it allows them to further develop their infrastructures and in turn promote human and economic development for their respective countries. What I find somewhat humorous is that Cristina thinks that because Brasil is...

You might want to strongly consider renting a dispenser with a replaceable charcoal filter. The difference in environmental impact / carbon footprint is astounding and it roughly 50% the cost (and much less hassle) than getting bottled water delivered.

Hi there, there is a lot of demand for conference interpreters in Buenos Aires, but there is also a lot of competition. You will have a huge advantage having lived in an English speaking country and being Argentine. If you are experienced, working 6 hours you can make over $2000 pesos per day...

Most of you haven't thought of this, but investing in MERVAL (Buenos Aires Stock Market) is a great option. You have to open a brokerage account (called a "cuenta comitente", there are many brokers in Microcentro) and the returns on some of the stocks have been over 200% in the past year. Some...

In no way does my post allude to a certain group as those who are "not respectful". I simply stated that as foreginers we should act within the bounds of the law...there is no double meaning..So thanks anyway and read the postings a bit more carefully please. There is no purpose in trying to...

I was selling this for a friend of mine but it was more than 2 years ago when the exchange rate was $4.75 pesos to the USD. Amazing but true. I ended up selling it for $10,500 pesos.

It's really not that hard, break it down: o - to - rrino - larin - go - lo - go Phonetically: auto - reno - laren - go - lo - go

You should call their customer service center: http://www.sube.gob.ar/AtencionAlUsuario.aspx The sube card is linked to someone's DNI, if you use it you are effectively using stolen property. It's not like a ticket you buy and if it's lost oh well. As foreigners (some living here permanently and...

Actually these "pozo" projects are not as risky as people think because of regulations that have been put into place in the last few years. I don't know the exact number, but the builder has to demonstrate liquid assets of like 50% of the project's cost to be even able to offer these unbuilt...

I know one was through this major inmobiliaria in Barrio Norte called M&M: http://www.mympropiedades.com.ar/ I actually looked at some of their properties myself, but didn't end up closing with them. Everything seemed to top notch. What I didn't like about their projects (at least the ones I...

I´ve had several close friends of mine buy departamentos de pozo. All except one of them had favorable results, although none were completed exactly on time, a few months of delays to be able to move in, construction quality so-so and sometimes downright shoddy, but all in all the apartments...

If you overstay your tourist visa, they charge you a fine at the airport (or you may have to pay previous to flying, not sure) of like $500 pesos. Getting residency here is a pain in the rear as you have to get a whole bunch of documentation for yourself, AND your employer must be previously...

To get a work visa, you must be employed full time. Don't bother crossing the border into Uruguay as it will only cause you headaches in the long run. Just pay the fine when you leave at the airport. There are jobs for translators here, but they don't pay well, you will be lucky if you earn...

I posted this over 2 years ago, and since then I lost almost all of the weight (16 out of 20 kg) that I gained after first coming here in 2007 and later gained about 4 kg back. So to be back to my original weight I have to lose 8 kg. Some of you may know I've decided to leave Bs As in a few...

I am as well. I am glad to hear that you have recovered your property. I as well have been in this situation. I rented my property once to a "friend of a friend" who was in a difficult situation for "just a few months". Well the day I gave him the keys was the last time he ever spoke to me, he...

I'll get back to you in a few months!!

I went 4 years ago and it was great, plenty of samples, a lot of spices, speciality items, prices were very reasonable. Last year I went for the 2nd time and it was an entirely different story, prices were out of control - $350 kg for smoked fish from patagonia, there was dulce de leche made...

I agree with that....some of you know I used to own a small retail shop here, and while I loved the interactions with my customers, some of who I am still in touch with as friends nearly 3 years after having closed the shop, some of the stories, rants and raves I used to have to listen to day in...
