Going for my driver's license test this week. Now the car is provided by the city. You can choose to take the test with an automatic or stick shift. There are several places around Buenos Aires to take the test.

It may be hard to find a WU office that has several thousand dollars to give you. I was thinking of doing that in 2015. I called around to a bunch of different offices and none of them could assure me that they would have that much available on a certain date. I ended up using Xoom and an ATM...

Are you willing to forfeit this deposit if you can not come up with the rest of the money in 6 months? If not, that's probably why he laughed.

Does anyone have suggestions where to exchange dollars for Euros? Bank, cueva, expat member?

Got a quote from a remis driver on Mercadolibre for pick up at Ezeiza airport to Cordoba Capital 85000 pesos,around $200. Not sure if you need to have an account to see this listing...

You are right, Retiro is not a good idea. Off the top of my head, I couldn't think of which terminals are closer to EZE, this is one option: https://www.centraldepasajes.com.ar/pasaje-micro/terminal-de-liniers.html

https://www.tiendaleon.com can take you in two different cars from EZE to Retiro Bus Terminal for around 30k pesos. From there you should be able to get a bus to Cordoba for around 10K pesos each. If you are interested in that option, you would have to contact...

I wasn't very clear about the MEP rate. For purchases within Argentina you will get the MEP rate on most Visa and Master Card purchases. You should try to avoid using a foreign credit card. Instead use Western Union and pay for purchases in pesos. Today's WU rate is around 452 minus fees, the...

Yes, for international travel, not for domestic purchases. I don't know if the MEP rate would be used or not because it is a debit card. I just tried to call Visa global, but couldn't get an answer. If you get the services quoted in dollars, I imagine that they will transfer dollars from your...

You are totally right. No ATM fees is the main advantage and currently that isn’t useful in Argentina, But once you run out of the dollars you bring, you have the possibility to go to Uruguay to get several thousand dollars from ATMs (you have to call them on the day you want to make the...

Renew your credit cards and drivers licenses. Get a Charles Schwab debit card. For US citizens, FBI reports, if you plan to become permanent residents.

Hello, Welcome, what changes have you noticed?

Most of the tango shows are held in beautiful historic buildings and if you don't want to pay for dinner, they give you a couple of empanadas and a drink for a reasonable price if you make the reservation as a DNI holder. Three shows that I found entertaining were at Cafe Angelitos, Tango...

In early 2011 the cover charge at El Beso milonga was 20 pesos @ approximately 4 pesos to 1 dollar = $5. Now the cover is 1200 pesos at approximate 400 to 1 dollar = $3. So in 12 years, the price for people with dollars actually went down 40 %.

Hi James, Welcome and good luck with the move. Since you enjoyed the time you've spent in Argentina, there's an excellent chance that you are making the right choice to move here. Here's a post with a lot of recent information about retiring in Argentina...

Hello, Don't have an OB recommendation, but two years ago there was a thread with hospital recommendations https://baexpats.org/threads/my-wife-is-pregnant-looking-for-good-private-hospital.43993/#post-410917. In that thread, I wrote that the celebrity known as Pampita had her daughter at...
