For the last five years we've experienced the best of local Buenos Aires life in our house. We live in a neighborhood just past Belgrano R on the border of Villa Urquezia and Saavedra. Easily accessbile by red and green lines, various bus lines, the retiro to Mitre line, and taxis across town...

If we work with notario aka escribano then is this sufficient and makes it one step process and does not require legalization at tribunales?

DO you go to Tribunales for legalization? I read on another thread if Escribano does it it is immediate. Is this not the case.

You were traveling together and were leaving together and needed a permiso to leave together? This makes no sense. We travel in and out all the time together and never had this problem. We bring kid's passports and birth certificate and various DNI docs... seems birth certificate is key when...

I stopped hanging around here due to ajo's condescending remarks. He is vindictive toward those he thinks are on the opposing side of his political views. Like most intellectually dishonest people, he attacks personally those he disagrees.

For us we had to have second name aka middle name approved as well. We went to US Embassy to get letter for first name. We are US citizens. Middle name is Italian. We went to Italian Embassy for that letter. We are Italian citizens too. Not sure if Argentina will approve name if you are not...

I never quoted $200k, that was sergio who came up with that number. But actually it could be less than $200k... as with most things it depends... on many things. Obviosuly there are no experts on the matter here judging by the responses...

Not sure of your point but there are plenty of both entering the US everyday. All it takes is a couple hundred thousand invested in a home in the US and you have automatic residence. And if you are poor just head down to the Rio Grande cross and you're in the US and we the people will take...

The airlines typically get confused with me too re: reciprocity fee. Usually at the Gate when I am trying to board flight to BsAs. On the other hand, my wife always has problems trying to board flight in BsAs to US. It is reciprocal on all fronts;-)

I pay 200 pesos for great cleaning. Our OMINT doesn't cover dental. OMINT policy just went up to 1700 pesos/mo. for the family (wife, kid, me). Covers us in the U.S. and Italy too while we are traveling - out of country up to 4 months no problem. It is about half price of same coverage we had...

Tigre is famous for wicker. They carve it from trees out there. Tigre also famous for algarrobo furniture. Very hard. Last a lifetime forget 12 months... Tigre also has pino... but why go to Tigre when pino is available everywhere in the city. We typically hit Pinolandia. Alvares Thomas...

I would host in Argentina so you have no trouble paying your fees for hosting. For platform i use and suggest you use wordpress. There some themes that make wordpress easier tgan it already is. And as a platform it is free.

We use OSDE. Like.others have found.it is relatively expensive but very.good coverage. No need for.specialist approval. We also used.OMINT and had very good.coverage.

We toook care of fbi report in less than 2 weeks from BsAs. 1. Go to police station with 3 fingerprint cards. We found most stations will not do fingerprint work bc of laws that restrict. The station on santa fe and scalabrini ortiz worked for us. Bring three so you hopefully have one thst...

Fighting the "fed" as they say is a bad idea. In Argentina devaluation is an economic policy that works for its mid level buraecrats just perfectly. You cannot fight that which works for those who have the power. For example, for those of you who were here in 2007, 2008, 2009 you'll remember...

No. Actually you need to work on reading comprehension. I stated I am happy to pay doctor about 100 bucks which is going rate rather than pay $800-$1200/month for a co-pay of 25 bucks. And I prefer insurance that protects me so I am not out of pocket $8K-$12K before health care kicks in...

Mayeb to you the posted is "looking at it wrong." But that surely is not a fact. Perspective may be everything here. How is it a benefot of Bama-care for the privledge of paying a doctor 25 bucks. I prefer to pay the doctor directly. It would be less epxensive than paying a monthly fig of...

I am not sure that anyone can answer your questions as to what happens once you are in the govt database. I doubt it would impact resident status. If you are out of country 11 months then the location test takes care of you. We also researched extensively to find out the deal in case we move...

In Italy it is common for grown children in their 30s and 40s to still be living at home. Mom makes dinner, does the laundry etc. These "adults" are called Mominas. Here in Argentina the syndrome exists maybe b/c many here are from Italy... We have a baby sitter who is 20 years old. Her mom...

Correct! I should have lobbed my question not to you but to KellRobinson who initially compared the Argentina police salary to someone living in the U.S. I asked "this means what" because as you correctly point out you do not argue for a raise in Argentina by comparing your salary to those in...
