The folks are correct, you must do it in your state, which in my case was a two step process of getting it notarized by the County Clerk in the county where the state capital is located and then sent to the office where the notary is done. I called ahead of time and my mom sent an S.A.S.E. for...

I have experience living temporarily last year in Santiago, Chile and visiting Buenos Aires. You can get quite close to the dólar blue price to purchase Argentina pesos with your Chilean pesos in the casas de cambio in Providencia or the Santiago Centro. They are all over Providencia, but I...

@Jaredberryman, not a lawyer. But at first glance of the , it looks like the government still allows rental contracts to be established in dollars and "allows" Argentines to receive them but also seems to gives debtors the option to pay on a contracted debt written in any foreign currency in...

@ajoknoblauch, hahaha, YES! I cracked up my Chilean roommates at a party last year. I thought I was commenting about my beer and not wanting a glass when I told them I prefer to “tomar del pico!!”

@Fredd, you can have good advice and facts about the way the law is WRITTEN, but what foreigner wants to get into a quilombo fight with their landlord over an apartment rental, an apartment containing their few possessions in the country, to which their landlord probably have extra keys? And...

@Fredd, you can get good advice about the way the law is WRITTEN, but what foreigner wants to get into a quilombo fight with their landlord over an apartment rental, an apartment containing their few possessions in the country, to which their landlord probably have extra keys? And how much good...

I have a test for myself. If I walk down Florida, how many men creepily say “cambio cambio cambio” as I pass by? You can test out your new look this way. :) Your #1 Asset: CARA DE CULO. When I got back here last week, I realized I was WAY too happy to be reunited with my boyfriend. The one...

@Jaredberryman, there would be nothing wrong with this, as long as you stated that up front. There are plenty of rentistas or people who work remotely here or who have savings. If you have a Paypal account linked to your US bank, that would facilitate the transaction further. I personally...

You are also lucky that she didn’t bring along a baby and a dog. Luckily, she was an amateur a**hole. I think webmistress is right, that it is such a shame how this country makes people opportunistic. After coming back from a year in Santiago, Chile (fome) and 3 months in the Midwest in the...

I would be negotiating for some discounts to pay in dollars if I were you. Just simply, nicely ask if you could get a small discount for paying in dollars (and make sure which exchange rate they use). Or simply ask what exchange rate they give if you were to pay in dollars. Embrace the...

haha, I agree! If your Spanish is Basic or Intermediate, this should not get in the way, as any decent language teacher should know the difference between book and formal Spanish, and regionalisms or even porteñisms, as in local to Capital only. I think what you mean is you are worried about the...

@kristio, I hope for the best for you, too, but in any case, please keep us posted!! Your package won't go to Ezeiza unless you accidentally sent it by DHL, UPS or Fedex. Always better to use the USPS because at least those packages DON'T get stuck at Ezeiza from what I have read on this forum...

I actually get sick here much less than in the States, but I do almost all my OWN COOKING, and I am especially careful to avoid eating any meat product out from a restaurant or kiosco, unless it is a traditional parrilla. I cook from mostly whole fresh fruits and vegetables and meat with very...

I am sooo late to the game in reading this classic thread...and I would sadly like to report that she has now spent 2011 scamming her fellow South American hermanos!! See this Facebook thread: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=126018642582&topic=19708 Here is an entire thread about her...

I have never seen Dr. Pepper here, but I found some in La Paz, Bolivia over a trip for Christmas break and bought 4 or 5 cans for about a dollar a can at one of the major grocery stores, Hipermaxi Los Pinos I believe. They also had grape soda! I was actually surprised how many more American...

Do you mean simply your CUIT number from ANSES or do you mean proof from AFIP that you are paying monotributo taxes? For just retrieving the number, if you have your DNI number, you should be able to print it out here filling out your data...

Unfortunately, a lot of socializing involves going to restaurants here, which are great but by no means super cheap, even by US standards. For 1. Always take the bus/subte/bike to your destination activity. I second the Costanera; this weekend the SO and I took a calming walk around the Nature...

As for the entry fee, until further notice, I think it is only being charged to be entering by AIR, just like Chile´s policy, not by land. So I would think that going to Uruguay would not count.

EdRooney, what the HECK? That is crazy. I read on the US website that a spouse of a US citizen has an automatic right to getting a temporary visa. What the heck?? I am so sorry this happened to you! I would be pissed! On what basis did they accuse your wife of being poor and you being...

But what nuitzangaro says about needing the visa to get credit for classes at UBA might be true IF you are an undergraduate degree seeking student getting your full degree in the public university and NOT just an undergrad student studying for a year or two in an exchange. Because tecnhically...
