    Will I Be Able To Get My Diploma Apostilled?

    Usually if you take your diploma to your School, at least if it's a University/College, they will have a notary in the Registrar office, they should also be familiar with the apostille process. You can use your original diploma. If you're not sure what to do exactly you should e-mail the...

    Not sure about individual items but El Gato Negro and Barrio China are still places to go for the best selection of herbs and spices, there's some new shops in Barrio China with a huge selection of cooking items so they might have what you're looking for. Additionally there's a few new markets...

    Basic Eye Exam

    I ended up going to the Centro de Ojos on Azcuenaga 1677, it was not free of charge but only 300 pesos. I just walked in, thought their website has a online appointment request form, and I was in and out in under 30 minutes. The doctor filled out the form I needed with my assistance. Also FYI...

    Basic Eye Exam

    Nope I simply need the Snellen 20/20 score, that's all. I don't have OSDE so was hoping for something without needing an appointment. Thanks!

    Basic Eye Exam

    I have no issue paying a basic fee, just hoping to avoid a full exam charge as I don't need anything other than the chart exam, but it needs to be a licensed doctor that's the only issue.

    Basic Eye Exam

    Are there any places to get walk-in eye exams, all I need is to read the chart and have the doc mark 20/20 on a simple form in English with my basic info and his basic info. I'm hoping I don't need an appointment to do this, and don't have to have any other things done as it's not necessary...

    Unlocking An Iphone 5 In Buenos Aires

    It's generally after the term of your contract expires that they will unlock it for no charge, they provide you with a code that you need to input into your phone after you insert a nonAT&T sim card. There are online and in person companies that you can pay to retrieve the unlock code for you...

    Do We Change The Clocks This Weekend?

    They haven't changed in a while, but it's a year by year decision if I recall correctly, and also the provinces can each decide on their own I believe. Since it's springing forward though, you wouldn't risk being late, just early!

    Is The Reciprocal Fee Us$300 Now?! (Need Help Today)

    If you're from the US, the stamp is valid for 10 years. If it's in your expired passport you must show them both, they just take a moment to write down the info each time you pass through again, sometimes they mark the number in your new passport with your stamped visa, sometimes not.

    Entry Fee For Chile?

    Yup no more fees for US Citizens in Chile. I haven't crossed by bus but at the airport they have never asked for proof of onward travel, do note that they take the 90 day visa seriously there, so it's best to leave and reenter with a new stamp or get an extension prior to that if you want to...

    Where To Exchange Pesos Back Into Usd (Or Something Usable)

    I think you just misunderstood the profit system, people are profiting, but only from selling dollars. Buying dollars, the reverse, is always going to be at a loss.

    Not An Expat -- Yet!

    Depending on what mapping system you're using it might not be the right place, there's a lot of duplicate street names in the province of Buenos Aires.

    Tourist Visas Sketchy...is Marrying An Argentine The Answer?

    I would find a different lawyer and explore the other options with them. Unless you're already in a serious relationship contemplating marriage is not something to be taken into lightly. Getting a divorce is not the easiest process here and prenuptial agreements are not enforced.

    One Day Over Visa...

    Sorry but I think you're out of luck on that one, they aren't responsible for tracking your tourist visa status. I would try to be nice and see if you can get the ticket changed, but if it says no refunds then you're fighting an uphill battle. I always use a date calculator to ensure this...
