    Obtaining Argentine citizenship

    If I understand correctly, based on the recent decree, the "path" to citizenship via migraciones requires two years of legal temporary residency and two years of continuous physical presence in Argentina before applying for citizenship (without a lawyer) and the clock for the two years of...

    Coffee in the market

    The fact that it was sin azucar and I would be adding cacao amagro, milk and butter was all I really needed to know. Nonetheless, the history of the Cabrales company, founded in Argentina in 1941 by a Spanish immigrant, was far more appealing to me than the history of Nestle's. History -...

    Coffee in the market

    PS to my previous post: Based on my usage, 170g of the Cafe Cabrales La Planta is a much finer powder and goes a lot further than 170g of the Nescafe Clásico instant coffee. The Nescafe Clásico is comprised of "chunkier" particles and I used a jar of it much more quickly than the Cabrales. The...

    Coffee in the market

    Like you, I consume instant coffee. Last year I stopped buying Nescafe Clásico 170g (sin azúcar) and switched to Cabrales La Planta 170g (also sin azúcar) which was a little cheaper, possibly because, as indicated on the label, "PUDE CONTNER LECHE" (milk powder). The main reason for the switch...

    Apostille for USA financial documents?

    From my own experience I know that any document that has a notarized signature can receive the apostille. The Secretary of States of Illinois issued the apostille for a copy of my irrevocable trust which had a cover letter signed by the lawyer who drafted it. I also provided migraciones with a...

    Has Argentina Become Worse Or Better for Foreign Retirees recently?

    Opting out of Medicare part B should free up about $300.000 pesos per month for US retirees over 65. I'm over 75 and I haven't had health insurance in Argentina for more than ten years. My health care costs, including medications are close to zero. I recently replaced my oximeter and blood...

    Help: Will I be denied entry to Argentina after ETA residency?

    I seriously doubt that your stated desire "to visit Argentina as a tourist only" will carry much weight with migraciones. They have a file that shows that you actually applied for temporary residency while you were in Argentina and left the country within a few days. I am reasonably certain...

    Help: Will I be denied entry to Argentina after ETA residency?

    Everyone, including me, that Patricia helped get temporary residency (by going to migraciones to act as an interpreter) were "here as a tourist" at the time. The question I would ask RXA is if he knew about the reqirements for temporary residency and already had the required documents with the...

    Rentista/Pensionado Visa

    $2000 USD became the unofficial "monthly income requirement" in USD for the Rentista/Pensionado Visa when migraciones increased the official monthly income requirement from $8.000 to $30.000. At the time, the official exchange rate was $15 pesos to one dollar. The math speaks for itself. If the...

    Chorizo opinions

    Point 3 in my previous post should be: As for sugar, I sincerly believe it is worth the 18 minutos for anyone who is still consuming sugar in any form, including anything made with wheat or wheat flour (bread, cookies, pastries, cake, etc.) rice, pasta, corn, cereal (as well as the vast...
