Forgive my n00b ignorance, but what does "pesify" mean. Google is not helping me with this and I'd rather look dumb, ask, and learn something, as opposed to making an assumption that might not be correct.

I was an expat living in Perú for almost ten years, and spent an accumulated several years of winters on top of that over the course of my life living in Mexico and Central America. I wouldn't consider my level of Spanish to be fluent, but more "conversational." People tell me it's good, but...

After being here for approx. 10 days my wife received a text message (since I don't have a phone # yet) that I needed to come in for a test the following morning. Took the free test, was told I'd receive the results the following day, but several days later I still haven't received the results...

I came in on 31 Oct around 2 in the morning and went through without incident or needing to open a single of 3 (23kg) suitcases or any of my smaller bags. One of the two guys sitting in front of the x-ray machine asked about the computer in one of my suitcases and mentioned the impuestos for...

I'm good for 30 October because it's for family reunification with my wife who has residence. The LATAM office, as I had a feeling and which was confirmed here - absolutely useless. A discount airline is the only other option, and I'm guessing if I take LATAM up on their refund offer I'll have...

It's strange because there are other flights with LATAM available the same day. If it's a covid restriction, and not a restriction of LATAM, then how is it that this restriction that I, or family in Argentina, can't find any information about? Wouldn't a covid restriction affect all flights on...

This seems like the thread to post this in. Just received an email at 8 this morning that my flight to Buenos Aires from Lima on 30 October was cancelled "... debido al COVID-19 y por restricciones ajenas a la operación en LATAM Airlines." Could be me being untrustworthy, but something seems...

On the 31'st there are no flights out of EZE. Everything I've seen (what little there is) is out of AEP. All of my searches have been on the Argentina version of the AA site and all prices quoted in pesos. Maybe they're basing pricing on my IP address and my wife'll have better luck over there...

I'd be up for a flight, but there aren't that many on the day I arrive and I'm carrying more and heavier luggage than the most expensive fare allows. The overnight bus will take me all the way to La Falda, so I don't have to have family drive into to the city to pick me up. I'm guessing even...

Sunday, 30 October It would be convenient not to have to take any covid exams at EZE, but I'm guessing LATAM will still have a PCR test as a requirement before being allowed to board. I won't be surprised if requirements change several times over the next month. The good thing is I've been...

I'm not at all surprised the bus companies would rather pay the lowest possible wages/minimize their employment and other tax obligations and pass off the whole excess baggage situation to employees/customers instead of charging extra for the service and handling it at the counter. I'd actually...

Anybody by chance know what arriving passengers are being charged for the PCR test? Want to make sure I arrive with enough Pesos to cover my expenses for a day or two so that I don't have to go to an airport ATM and worry on the walk there that the machine may be out.

When in Rome.... Sounds like even the bus companies are saying any extra bags other than the one included with the seat are handled/paid for not at the counter, but at the bus itself. Good to know ahead of time. Would that be a five dollar bill/500 pesos for all of the three extras I'd want to...

Saw that info on the LATAM lounge but maybe by the end of October it'll be open. Not counting on it. Or even being able to get in considering I won't have a connecting flight that day. Aeropuertos VIP is $50 for a one-time entrance. I'm probably going to go through customs earlier rather than...

Thanks for all of the helpful advice. Think I’ll save my first time exploring Bs As for another time. Better to devote my full concentration on getting to my final destination. Spending most of the day at the airport and then taking a no-hassle pre-paid cab to Terminal Retiro closer to...

I’ve done some research and have some ideas on how I’m going to get from EZE to La Falda, but thought I’d run it by here for opinions on my assumptions or suggestions for better ideas. First time in Argentina, but I’ve got experience as an expat in Latin America and before that as a regular...

And there's the rub. "In theory." My guess is if Argentina is at all like here when it comes to anything beurocratic, there's theory, and there's practice. I'm interested in learning about both on this issue, but tend to value knowledge about how things actually work in practice more than how...

Thanks for the visa run warning. Pretty sure I'd rather just try for residency anyway, but good to know. Used to be an option here in Perú , but then they changed it to only 180 days maximum per year.

Thanks for all the informative responses. I appreciate the info. I'd be working as a photo editor. I worked as a photographer in Perú, and generally speaking half of the process is post production. For various reasons, some related to the rate of pay in Argentina, I'd rather focus exclusively...

Greetings, I'll try to make this brief while including the most relevant information. I'm a US citizen, currently a resident of Perú where I've been living for 9 years. My wife is Peruana, but currently living in Argentina with her brothers, parents, and nephews, with status ranging from...
