Has anyone ever used Small World? They seem to give an even better rate for the Euro than Azimo

And DHL accepted your credit card??? A bit over a year ago I tried to have my credit card sent to me by DHL but they said they were no longer allowed to ship credit cards to Argentina.

Thanks lacoqueta. The end date of my current visa is March so I need to wait till January. Also I still have room to move but all depends on how much the required income may increase. Also congratulations on getting permanent residency.

Following the above, has anyone recently changed categories from temporary to permanent and do you know what documentation is required? I have a temporary visa rentista (renewed and approved last time in Jan 2014 with a passive income of ARS 8000) and can apply for a permanent one in Jan 2015...

Arrgh I can't make it tonight. I am Dutch and have been in Buenos Aires for a bit over two years now but a lot of my friends have left in the last few months so I am really looking forward to meeting new people. Definitely count me in next time!

I have received a package from Europe mid December which took 4-5 weeks to get here. I had to pick it up from Retiro. Tracking showed it had arrived in Argentina within 1 week.

@PaulBA: sorry I never replied to your question back in May but I never saw your question. For the initial visa application I did not have to show receipt of the rent as you can't without a local bank account. I only had to show the contract. @dtjyukon: yes after you complete the 3 years you can...

I also have a visa rentista and did not use a lawyer. As long as you show the paperwork that is listed on the migraciones website it should not be too difficult. For the first application they don't expect you to have a local bank account as you can't open one without a DNI. They did tell me...

Re Azimo, can anyone from the UK (i.e a friend) send you money here or does it have to be a relative / what kind of paperwork is required to pick it up?

Nikad are you sure you can still use an Arg. debit card abroad?

I agree that this all sounds very strange. For what it's worth, first time I went to Migraciones in 2011 I paid $600 for the visa + $30 for the DNI and received the DNI in the mail after about 2 months. I renewed my visa in February of this year and paid $600 at Migraciones and was then sent to...

I am registered as a monotributista and therefore pay taxes on my worldwide income here in Argentina. Irrespective if clients are based in Argentina or abroad, I receive payment into my Argentinian bank account. I still have a bank account in my home country in Europe. I now have an opportunity...

I had mine repaired by Ricardo and he did a great job. He came recommended by MacDaddy who didn't have time to help me out (both can also be found on this site). Ricardo used to live in Australia and is fluent in English if this helps and I found him to be very reliable and quick. You can reach...

My accountant told me yesterday that he had been told (I know hearsay so for what it's worth) that the only place in the world where you can still change your pesos at the moment is the central bank in New York.

Just as an FYI, once translated, the translation will need to be legalized here as well at the Colegio de Traductores Publicos.

You should be able to find all the info you need on this site: http://www.migraciones.gov.ar/accesible/

I'm sure they can help you here: http://www.traductores.org.ar/nuevo_org/home/inicio_en/

I have no personal experience but I would assume the same applies to Euros. A tourist told me they could only change pesos back to Euros at Ezeiza if they could show the receipt of having changed Euros to pesos to begin with. It's hearsay so for what it's worth...

When I first applied for my residency (rentista) I was also asked if I had a bank account. I told them I could only open an account once I had a DNI and they just made me sign a piece of paper saying that I would open a bank account before renewing my residency. Not sure about the implications...

But with a tourist visa you wouldn't have a DNI and without a DNI you can't open a bank account to begin with, right?
