    Marriage & Visa questions

    You will need a valid visa to get married. They made that point very clear to me before I got married and I have heard of some people not being allowed to marry because they show up without a valid visa. You can basically do whatever you want going to Colonia, once they find out that you are...

    Renting with pets?

    When we looked at renting an apartment for two years, we were told that almost all of the properties will allow pets. The only exceptions were really with buildings that did not allow pets.

We have some forms for my wife's visa that we need to send and I would like to do it in the quickest and if possible, most cost effective way. Has anyone had any experience getting papers sent? It is pretty important that they get...

    Need Advice - rent in dollars

    Since most expats are still largely unaware of the laws regarding renting short term. A short term furnished apartment, by law cannot be more than 6 months long. If it is more than 6 months, it is not a legal contract and can be terminated at any point by either party without any legal...

    Olivos hostage drama

    If I am not mistaken, all of the criminals were minors...which means that they won't spend even one day behind bars.

    Just when you thought it was safe to go back into your appartment

    There were a lot of attempted break ins near where we live over the weekend. We live in an area where it is mostly houses and a lot of people were going out of town for the holiday weekend. We had someone banging against our door at 4 am one morning, but they moved on to another place once our...

    Bring it on, I'm melting!

    I've got no AC this year, the heat is not bothering me nearly as much since I've had the chance to get used to it. And from my experience, the first few weeks of december are the worst before everyone starts to leave for vacations.

    I have dollars to sell 4.5/1 rate

    If I am not mistaken, you can now buy property in pesos...which means that this panic over the dollar could start to go away. But its hard to say.

    Doing business in Argentina - Our quest to manufacture leather bags here!

    Looks like a very interesting business. It is nice to see that some people have success with business down here. The hats caught be a little off guard in the video? Are you making and selling those as well? I don't see them on your site, which is why I am asking. Are you selling your products...

    This will warm your hearts

    If you knew what it was like to raise a newborn, then you'd feel differently. 30 days for a woman is not enough time to recover from 9 months of being pregnant and the delivery. But 6 months is a VERY long time for dad to get off from work...half a year not working WITH pay. That is insane.

    My first step

    Steve you make me want to flee this big city! I am happy that you are so happy with your life there (from everything I have read, it does sound very nice) but I can't help but be a little jealous. If for some reason my wife's visa doesn't come through, I think we'll move out into the provinces...

    ATM robbed me of 200 pesos

    Two hours after the fact, there is not much that you can do...Even if it were to show up in the bank's logs there is not much likelihood that they will admit the mistake and give you the money.

    One bedroom flat in Villa Crespo or Palermo Queens

    Villa Crespo is a very nice area, and for that price you should have no trouble finding someone to rent it. I am curious though, does the rent include all utilities (water, gas, electric)? Best of luck

    what's the deal with $USD in argentina?

    By law, short term rental contacts HAVE to be in dollars...but a lot of people ignore this. But you should defiantly make sure that it is ok to pay in pesos and have that be in the contract before signing anything.

    Típico Argentino

    The longer you stand and wait for what you want, the more nervous and uncomfortable they become and when you wait long enough, you get what you want.

    My first step

    Have a lot of money saved up to live on for at least a few months. It will take a long time to build up a client base to work with. With the way the economy is going, people are spending less on these type of things, so it may be harder to find people to teach. And yes, you must have a good...

    The mega 15th!

    Even if the people aren't wealthy, they still go all out on the party. It is very rare that someone spends less than 10k pesos on these parties.
