Awesome tips! Thanks so much. Don't know about the not mentioning me. He twitches his eyeball when he lies anyway. I wonder if it will help that I've lived here nearly ten years, so it may not seem likely that we were doing a visa-->marry scam. The formal invitation is a good idea perhaps. Cheers!

My boyfriend and I are planning to take a trip to the US & Canada this summer. I am worried about him being able to get the visitors visas only because I know others who have had problems if they are deemed a 'flight risk'. He is completing his grad degree, owns property here, has a government...

I've been a yogini for over 20 years and studied while in uni in India, but have't had luck here with classes -- lots of geriatric-stretching type classes they call yoga as indicated above! A good friend of mine took a three-year course here w/ Hastinapura to be a teacher but she still has very...

I once called a plumber too, who instead of showing up with a snake, as I had requested, came with a bottle of Drano or whatever it is called here. He seemed to think the dumb foreigner would pay for him to poor that stuff down the drain. Some of these guys are re vivos! I ended up pouring...

They asked or you offered? How good of friends are they? Personally I would ask for a considerable returnable damage deposit. And yes they can take over your house and it can be a long time to get them out via legal means. I know three people this has happened to. Two of them got the people out...

Good on you Risu for bringing this up. I was thinking the same thing while reading this. Prostitution should be legal and employed w/ harm reduction methods as it is in Amsterdam and parts of Nevada, but reading about it in the context of a visiting an economically disadvantaged country and...

I'm talking about the erm, 'parallel' market. I just read it on the bus, but now i see this headline that it hit $10 today. http://www.ieco.clarin.com/mercados/vez-cerca-dolar-blue-vende_0_912509024.html

I think it is finally dawning on me what ya'll are doing -- unless you are just actually helping out mum. Smart. Just wondering if it is kosher though. Anyone?

$9.98 right now -- so it looks like today or next week!

My kitties informed that hierba para gatos is different. That is just a digestive grass, good to have around because it keeps them from eating things they shouldn't like houseplants and shoelaces, but it doesn't get them stoned.

I disagree. There is no excuse for most of those folks who send their kids out to beg and making excuses for them just perpetuates the dependency/lack-of-personal-responsibility culture. I called #108 about the kids who are always on the C line of the subte, the social workers knew the kids well...

Thank you all, including Bajo Cero. I was in the capital of Chubut when they told me that it was not possible. I'll go and talk to them mañana. Are you saying the fecha de entrada and movemiento migratorios is not necessary but may help? Honestly I'm the worst at tramites and would prefer to...

Hello I read that thread, thank you. Just trying to do it solo with help of knowledgeable local friends, including a lawyer, and some legwork. Did you go through the process? It seem somewhat straighforward though we all know that is never the case. Why do you say a lawyer is necessary?

I Have two questions about getting citizenship without going through migrations. Hoping Bajocero or someone else knowledgeable will chime in. The following is from the offical info page from the national government. Requisitos para Obtener la Ciudadanía Argentina Requisitos: • Ser mayor...

What a great video. I love the granny. I'm friendly with one ST store owner who says that the entrance to his store is blocked on Sundays and that does affect his business. That being said, the law is that if they are selling artisania or playing music, they have a right to be there. If they...

Ja some naughty minds on here. No! I'm the one who got slammed because immigration held me for 6 hours b/c due to being cashless at entry due to Argentina-induced PTSD about carrying cash... and i turned down the 'chXpame la Pxja' offer at that point. I can't share the magic words though b/c...

Yes, I don't recommend visa runs. The Chinese and Africans don't do it and neither should you. In any Argentine immigration irregularity you have to know the magic words. Sorry, I can't share them here.

Suerte — you're gonna need it!

I've noticed a difference. It is expensive to go out if you earn pesos. With my local friends here we used to go out to eat once in a while — now it's always lunch or dinner gatherings at home pretty much all the time. But they are making investments to buy land, property or construction...

You can also directly donate household items or volunteer to package and load items at the Planatario tomorrow. Personally I am a bit skeptical of how financial donations are utilized having investigated many so-called charitable organizations.
