    Surviving The Next Little Ice Age In Argentina

    Is it possible that average BMI in population has decreased and that's why people are feeling chillier? Less body fat = feeling cold?

    No One Wants To Receive Money Transfers

    You can also try Payoneer. http://blog.payoneer...-with-payoneer/ That instruction is not for you, but for your property manager or workers. They need to have Payoneer accounts. You don't. You'll pay with your credit card. Once the money is in their accounts, they can withdraw it from any ATM...

    No One Wants To Receive Money Transfers

    Yes, PayPal and Nubi are in partnership, but I think Nubi adds another 'layer' of fees for PayPal users here. PayPal works differently in different countries. But on most occasions, they don't charge anything for withdrawal to a local bank account. Nubi charges 2.9% plus some other fees I don't...

    No One Wants To Receive Money Transfers

    Was this PayPal account created with your address in Argentina? I still cannot see any option other than United States in the country field when I try to link a bank account to my Argentine PayPal account. And I cannot add Argentine Peso as the currency either. I know that a third-party company...

    Uber Banned

    European legal adviser says service should be licensed like taxis. https://www.theguard...axis-us-app-ecj Seems logical.

    Bank Account Recommendations And Fees

    I don't own any property here in Argentina, but I submitted to them the temporary contract of the apartment I am living in and one utility bill (fibertel) in my name. The fact is most banks can open an account without a DNI. They simply don't want to do the extra work. It doesn't depend on...

    Bank Account Recommendations And Fees

    Yes, corrected it. It was February 2017 :-) I opened the account in Rosario. However it seemed to me that I could have done it more easily if I were in BsAs

    Bank Account Recommendations And Fees

    I was able to open an account in Banco Patagonia in February 2017 with my passport, precaria and CUIT. They took time and it was not straightforward. But I didn't give up. Now I have a fully functional account (for both peso and dollar) and a debit card. Banco Itau was told me they could open...

    Provisioning A New Modem, With Fibertel

    Actually you can get the admin password by calling them and then make advanced config changes from http://192.168.0.1. I have done that. On most occasions, the modems have default passwords. I guess it's not very safe to keep it that way. That's another reason to know the password and change it...

    Immigration For Dummies

    CUIL (Codigo/Clave Unico de Identificacion Laboral) CUIT (Codigo/Clave Unico de Identificacion Tributaria) CUIL = Workers Identification Number. You collect it from ANSES CUIT = Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. You collect it from AFIP. I think you need a CUIT only when you want to...

    Immigration For Dummies

    With your passport and precaria, you can get CUIL from ANSES without any problem. In the same way, you can get your CUIT from AFIP. Just go to the closest ANSES office early. It should not take from than an hour, unless there is a long queue.

    New Immigration Decree, Long Life To King Macri!

    Does it mean that anyone who has legal residence (permanent, temporary or provisional/transitory) for 2 years can still apply for citizenship directly? Or does he need to have permanent residence?

    Plastic Bags Banned From 1St Jan

    You are right. But they have trains to Rosario and Tucuman. And it's one of the largest train stations in the country.

    Plastic Bags Banned From 1St Jan

    This is so not true! You must be joking, or have made a new year resolution of never saying anything negative about Argentina. The restrooms in Retiro Mitre are among the worst I have seen in a long-distance train station of a capital.

    Dollar Exchange

    Well, I am pretty bad with economic theories and I have not followed the rates closely in the last few months. I noticed in December that the blue rate is higher, and sometimes very high. But this is normalcy. Unofficial rates against dollar are almost always higher than official rates in most...

    Blue rate is ruling again after some time. Right at this moment, it is almost 1 peso more than the official rate.

    Plastic Bags Banned From 1St Jan

    This environmental policy has been in use in Rosario for quite a while. Big supermarkets like Coto, La Gallega, Carrefour cannot sell plastic bags in the checkout. You can buy eco friendly bags for 12 to 25 pesos. After coming from BsAs, it took me some time to get used to it. In the first few...
