I read recently in the news that there is debate going on about whether these companies should cover IVF treatment for couples who are having troubles conceiving naturally. I don't know if this has been decided upon, but you can assume the companies will raise their premiums for everyone to...

Gabriel is currently helping me with my DNI and also another friend who is an active member on this site. He is often recommended in this forum. Héctor Gabriel Celano Celano & Asociados - Abogados Av. Belgrano 634, 2 "B" C1092AAT - Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos...

I agree with you Tangobob. Day to day living expenses are very cheap. Even in relation to salaries, I find that the public transport system and the supermarket are far cheaper here than they are in Australia. And again considering salaries, the electronics and other imported products are far...

I should have told you to respond to this thread before I did maikito!! You have actual names/numbers... I call them dual/tri band thingies.. lol

My Nokia was sent to me by my dad in Australia. I initially couldn't get it to work either. Went to Movistar and then also called the provider in Australia to make sure it wasn't locked. Turns out I just had it locked on flight mode or offline or something like that! When I was initially making...

hmm interesting question. I would imagine a hostel would be a good place to try. They often have them. Not sure how they would feel about collecting the batteries of any person walking in off the street? For the love of nature, perhaps they'll be willing??

I have taken the bus to Rio. However it was via a stop in Igauzu. From Bs As we went to Iguazu with Via Bariloche which was brilliant. Full lie back beds, movies, 3 course meal, nightcap, slept very well. From Iguazu to Rio we went with Crucero del Norte. They don't have flat beds, only semi...

yep that's right. Assuming your phone is unlocked, all you need to do is buy a sim (known as a CHIP here), put it in, then buy yourself some credit. Another handy hint to know: for people sending you a message or ringing you from outside Argentina they need to use the following number +54911...

Go to Once train station and you can buy any of the three major phone company chips for $5 pesos out the front on the street! I bought mine there, as have other friends and there is no problem what so ever! The phone company outlets often don't sell the chips, they'll send you to a phone...

I'm 28 years old... and I remember a lot of the 90's grunge. Nirvana, GreenDay, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains and so on. That was what I listened to in my teen years. Although I also have strong memories of Kylie Minogue and John Farnham!! (very australian) My boyfriend and I...

I'm here for my partner, mainly because we met here so I just stayed. On top of which he speaks no English (although is now learning!) and that would make opportunities in my native Australia rather limited. I am legal here. I have a job with a local company, a CUIL and am in the process of...

yeah that's what I thought hence I put my 2c in. Sounds like its a case of try on the day and see how it goes! Maybe if there are not so many people in Tucuman they will do it either way. However por las dudas, you can also make an appointment and go to the warm and friendly immigration office...

ok my bad.. i might be getting confused here! Perhaps the requirements are different for student visas. My colleagues were arranging antecedentes for work visas. Sorry if i've given misleading information!! :o

Yes it is recent. I also did mine there in Feb of this year. It is a recent change as in within the last 3-4 weeks. An Australian colleague went 3 weeks ago to immigration and that was like 2 days after it changed, bad luck for her! Yesterday my US colleague also went, at immigration.

Due to the queues, the office on Tucuman recently stopped doing any antecedentes for extranjeros. Im not 100% sure if it was all extranjeros or only non mercosur people. My US colleague went TODAY to get her antecedente at immigration. She had an appointment and was in and out in 2hours... not...

Hi Popper, when you present your papers at your first turno (which I believe must include your FBI background check - translated) you will be given a precaria temporaria on the day. With this, you are able to leave the country. You must carry it with you and present it to immigration, if not...

why dont you try calling customs and the post office first? If your package was sent via standard US mail and to Correo Argentino, it may very well be in Retiro. If it was sent via an independent company such as Fed Ex it probably doesn't get past airport customs. My US colleague experienced the...

Im Australian and have a mix of my own clothes and clothes bought here. I don't feel that my outfits make me standout whatsover. None the less, Argentines will know straight away that your foreign. My argentine boyfriend says its clear from your 'ojos claros' (light coloured eyes), bone...

Davidglen77 you just made my afternoon. I know this is a serious topic, but your post did make me laugh. Why are sandwiches de miga so expensive anyways? Is it that special never seen before size of bread slices that they use??

somebody told me that it is only for those depositing into their accounts in dollars as well. It sounds like you're all using US issued cards so obviously the accounts are in USD. Perhaps it is a function only for Argentine bank account holders using the cards from those banks...? I have an...
