    Medical Expenses

    I asked Google AI and got this reply: "In Argentina, while public hospitals offer free emergency care for everyone (regardless of nationality), recent 2025 reforms mean non-resident tourists without insurance may be billed for non-urgent care, and some provinces now charge for services...

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    I rarely buy beef or pork these days, not so much because of the price, which has increased significantly in the past year; it's because I don't like to consume meat that isn't frozen when I buy it in Punta Alta, about 10km from my house. I started buying chicken wings (always frozen) at the...

    Proof of means/income when applying for permanent residency (and later on citizenship)

    As indicated in the previous post, getting married to your Argentine gf is the only path for you to get temporary residency which is renewable annually. If she has "enough money" for the two of you, migraciones, may not care if you can't show any personal income en Blanco. As the husband of an...

    I need to vent. Fatal shootings in Minnesota

    How does anyone here "deserve to be relieved (perhaps more precisely "shielded") of (from) even a glance at these comments" (especially this one)? PS: please forgive me if I come across as young and brash. As of tomorrow I will only be 75.666 years old (exactly).

It's a very well planned and well funded movement with one goal in mind: get control of the US Congress in the mid-term elections and...

    Western Union money transfer

    I have been using WU since 2019. I recently was asked to provide a declaracion jurada for the recipient (me), but I don't think I was ever asked for my US passport number, with the possible exception when I first opened the account.
