I think a lot of the fact that people complain here so much is that many of the things they complain about never get resolved. Case in point, if you have an issue with a product you buy such as an appliance in the US, the business that you purchased it from will usually take care of it with the...

The only way to really make any decent (for BsAs) money teaching English is if you have residency and can issue facturas. You can then market yourself to companies who need a factura to prove the expenditure to the tax authority (AFIP) and charge the same rates that institutes charge the...

I am not one to enter into conflicts on this board....I avoid them and truly try to keep my answers to informational and non-reactive, however I find that some in this forum tend to blame the person who is being victimized and not the perpetrator. I've seen it a few times and it's truly...

If you are looking for kitchen items, I am moving and have some used items in very good condition for sale. http://listado.mercadolibre.com.ar/_CustId_50454578 Cheers

The peso will continue to be devalued, that is something that is almost guaranteed. Reason being, all of the foreign companies that do "off shoring" and have operations here, will simply close up shop and move operations to other countries if they don't. Remember when foreign based companies...

My personal belief is that the reason this type of petty crime is so prevalent here is due to the lack of consequences for these actions. A non-violent street robbery / pickpocketing / armed robbery of a business or home simply will be ignored by the authorities and even in the few cases where...

I live right in the middle of all the action, 9 de Julio & Av. de Mayo, while I love living in such a central location, the crime around this area has increased significantly in the 4 years that I have lived in the area. Several times a week I see people "splattered" with a green/yellow...

You shouldn't be charged any AFIP anything paying with a US credit card in Argetina. AFIP charges that 35% when you pay in pesos for a US Dollar transaction, which effectively skews the exchange rate. How can AFIP charge anything to a US bank? Impossible.

I insist on Mercadopago when selling and it works out well for me. The money is held in "escrow" by Mercadopago until both the buyer and seller indicate that the transaction has been completed satisfactorily. If the buyer doesn't give you a rating the money is held for 21 days. If they rate...

There are apartments for sale in that price range here in Microcentro where I live, but they are in poor condition and usually less than 30 m2. Check these sites: Argenprop.com, Buscainmueble.com & Zonaprop.com.ar

The only way you can make a decent (halfway decent) wage teaching English is if you are registered with the tax authority AFIP to issue (monotributista) invoices. You can work in corporate settings at multi-national companies, such as IBM, KPMG, Microsoft, etc and charge upwards of $120 pesos...

Yes, many tourists of all ages including crazy teenagers go to both Bariloche and the mountain towns of Córdoba, including Carlos Paz for winter / spring break and their graduation trips. However that is a blip on the screen, these places are truly beautiful....do people decide not to live in or...

I would say that if you are looking for a good quality of life close to nature, a good amount of cultural activities and relatively low crime, you would want to consider the mountains outside of Córdoba. A place like Villa Carlos Paz is beautiful and safe, when you leave Capital Federal and see...

Setting up the business is not the hardest part, I had a good accountant and escribano, so besides having to pay and sign a bunch of papers, that was the least of it. I was also very lucky in terms of employees, I had 3 very good ones, who never gave me a problem at all. That is usually the...

I used to own a business here and here's my story......www.escrachados.com There are businesses that work here, but you sure has better know what you are doing and I also recommend having a partner, as it's impossible to handle all of the bureaucracy on your own. I personally would never...

I've sold a lot of items and only bought a few on Mercadolibre. Never had a problem selling because what you see is what you get. I am 100% honest about something being used or new. I only sell to local people, no shipping, too much of a nightmare here. Except once I shipped a used laptop to...

The work contract that a company would have to give you to apply for residency under the "trabajador migrante" regimen does not state hours worked. The only requirement is that they pay you the legal minimum wage, known as "salario minimo vital y móvil" which as of January 1st 2014 is $3600...

The key to survival on this forum is just to simply ignore any personal attacks. I find this forum valuable in terms of the people I have met and the information I share and receive from others.....Redpossum you are way above this petty stuff. Stay and enjoy what there is to enjoy!

I've flown Aerolineas a couple of times for some short flights within Argentina. The service was very basic and really not much different than the service on American Eagle, etc or any other internal flights I've taken within the US. I've never flown with them internationally, but I haven't...
