Well it's sad too, cheapening the institution of marriage. In the UK it is also illegal as there have been many false marriages in order to gain visas.

It is possible for your partner to apply for a partner's visa (unmarried), if you have been together and can prove it for over two years. Check the British Immigration website. It is not easy to get and she has to do it before she enters the UK. I understand your fears about getting married...

Perry I do find you posts great, but when you get onto British history and culture I do wonder where you get your ideas from. I find them really annoying, almost as bad as a Brit giving his misguided views on Argentina. We had some riots that were beamed around the world. We've had them before...

Thanks alot of truth in this. Our multicultural nation is changing fast. I look on the street in the UK and everyone I see represents something different, where are we going? The riots we are having are generating alot of soul searching.

Luis from Paraguay won a quote for painting the side of our block of flats. It seemed very little money to me for dangling off afew ropes a hundred meters up in the air. He survived OK and did aload of work on my house, which was fine. His number is 49780489 cel 1569563049. You can practise...

I will second what Sleuth said. When I went for the rentista visa they asked for a copy of the contract with my tenants and a copy of the title deeds. The contract needs to be current and cover you for the year ahead. Both need to be apostilled. For some reason it did not seem to matter how...

Canut That certainly looks cheaper and good info. I can't see many expats over 25 doing that trip though...I would say most would not even make it to Once.

Hia Skywalker That sounds a great idea. Which cinema are you planning to go to? I will send you a PM

Ctru...that is a good question about property demand and prices after the election. My humble opinion is that the peso will devalue and therefore it will be more expensive for Argentines to buy dollars, perhaps alot more expensive. Prices will therefore cool down. Property is now selling and...

Yes a girlfriend will help. It will be easier if she does not speak English.

In response to the question above. I asked in immigration about the spouse link (as I am married to an Argentine). By law they can take away your DNI Permanente if you are out of the country for more than two years. It makes no difference how you got your DNI. He showed and photocopied a copy of...

Hia Get a Bus to Retiro train station, you can walk from there it takes ten minutes, just be careful to look on the map and take the right crossings. Basically once you are on the right path follow everyone else. Otherwise take a taxi. You do not have to give a reason it is a legitamate...

It's interesting to hear your observations, keep them coming. In many ways, especially property, Baires is still a good price. I surpose people who have been here for awhile are always looking over their shoulders at what the prices were, and this makes it seem more expensive. Inflation is...

Lindags helped me out and should be able to give advice about those nightmare AFIP problems. I really made a mess of them when I arrived and when I was teaching some Director of Metro Gas, English, he nearly fell off his chair laughing when I realized I was paying more tax than him.

Hia With a tax number it is possible to buy property here. Unless you get a permanent DNI (which is not easy) it is not easy to sell and you will pay high taxes. From my own experience I would say it it not a good idea to buy property here, unless you are looking to live here permanently...

Hia We went to the Casa Rosada on a Sunday the other day. They give great historical tours in both English and Spanish. You can find our why it is called Rosada. The tours are free, and very educational. They may also be on Saturdays as well.

My partner and I play tennis on Sundays at Parke Norte, we take the short train ride from Retiro Station. She is Argentine and I am British. We are looking for two more people to make up a doubles at tennis. We are intermediate tennis players. We can speak either Spanish or English. If you are...

I am very sorry to hear about this. It was good of you to try to help. For me you still sound in shock. Please look after yourself and accept any support you can from friends to a professional ear. Just leave the teenagers and look after yourself. In afew weeks you will hopefully start to move on.

Thanks for the post. I enjoyed the wedding as well. For me the UK is going through abit of a character crisis at the moment with so many changes, especially the influences of mass immigration. Somehow the Royal Family can be a positive influence, and it is changing to try to find this role. On a...

Hia My girlfriend and I often play on Sundays in Parke Norte.We are an anglo argentine pair and play reasonably. The courts are a good price there. Do you fancy a game of doubles? There or somewhere else. Best wishes
